What would you do if you went to a restaurant and found a hair in the meal you ordered?

Some restaurants do not take hygiene very seriously and even posh ones sometimes fail at basic things like this. So if you ordered something and when your food came, you saw a hair or some other nasty thing in it, what would you do? Would you take the hair out and eat everything, eat around it, not eat at all or ask for a replacement? Or kick up a fuss?

I'll inform the waiter discreetly or require to speak with the manager. I'm going to return the meal and ask to get my money back. Then I'll go elsewhere. I always buy at selective places to avoid this issue. I won't buy there again

I would call the waiter and show them the hair or whatever strange stuff and never come back again. But for sure I won't ask for a replacement. Will never be able to eat there again... If I have to pay, will pay but that would be the last of me there...

I would leave the restaurant and refuse to pay! If they force me to pay, I'll get the Ministry of Health involved so that they check the hygiene of the place and they'd make an even bigger loss then.

First of all, I'd take a photo of the food they gave me!! Go to the press, make them write a good article on the restaurant I've visited! xD

I would ask for my money back, I mean come one would you really trust the next meal to be clean? Also how do you know they won't spit in it?

I'll do what Iron_Man said. Because I recently discovered that some problems can be solved without violence ;)

Iron_Man Level 2

recently?? so before that you were resolving your problems with violence? :p

gices Level 6

And he said "big problems". Without getting violent, how would you tackle the situation?

Khush_Mendossa Level 3

Yeah before recently, my fists were my means of problem solving :p

@Gices: Like you know what field of study I am currently in, I would use the law to solve it now. Hehe...

Iron_Man Level 2

first i'll call the waiter as discretely as possible and ask for a replacement... but if they refuse: big problem!! ;)

gices Level 6

And by big problem, what do you mean? What will you do?

Iron_Man Level 2

i'll make some sort a scandal...by making a bad publicity for the said restaurant....i'll immediately take a picture and upload it on facebook through my mobile phone...its a powerful weapon if you know how to use it correctly.. ;)
