33 outrageous incidents that occurred in public catering (34 photos)

It is simply amazing how negligently the employees of some establishments treat their duties. No, the client is not always right, but he deserves to be treated with respect. He deserves to be well fed. Alas, the heroes of this collection found insects, cigarette butts and mold on their plates.

2. “At the end of the meal in a fancy restaurant I came across a cigarette butt.”





3. “When a restaurant said they have vegan options.”



4. What kind of sanitation are we talking about?



If you serve undercooked, poorly prepared food with God-knows-what mixed in with ingredients of questionable freshness, you can compromise the health of your customers and cause serious damage to your business's reputation.

This is followed by the dismissal of the unscrupulous employee, and for failure to comply with sanitary standards, the establishment may be closed altogether.
