A birthday was celebrated a few days ago and for supper we wanted a good steak. Having been happy with a place located on the east side of town where you really don't know if it is Waukesha, Pewaukee or Brookfield, we went there again.
All of you have likely heard stories about foreign objects in food or even lawsuits over hot coffee. When I hear that someone found something in their food, like a finger, I am skeptical. However, many years ago I had a bone fragment in a bratwurst and cracked a molar. The latest cap cracked again recently so the event has cost me much money. Therefore, from personal experience, foreign objects in food may be more of an occurrence than many people would expect.
Back to the present. My wife was enjoying her salad when she bit on something hard. It was a piece of glass the size of a corn kernel. We didn't feign disaster but when the waitress came to ask the famous "How's everything?", she was told of the glass and a request for another salad.
The manager came and offered an apology and an order for another salad. That was it. Being the old time people that we are, we did not demand title to the business, dial up our lawyer on the cell phone or issue a press release.
We enjoyed the rest of the meal. Both of our steaks were marvelous. However we left disappointed that some token wasn't offered. A couple free deserts would have been nice. As it is, this place will no longer be at the top of our list when hunger for a steak happens.
What would you have done or expected?
