Spitting in the Customer's Food: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

If you're an [[Unsatisfiable Customer]] or otherwise not [[Nice to the Waiter]], this is how he may get back at you. It's not just limited to spit, either... as Real Life incidents have testified to over the years, an especially vindictive server may adulterate a customer's food with other bodily secretions -- or worse, any inedible or possibly poisonous substances he may find handy. And sometimes it happens not to get back at a particular customer, but at ''any or all'' customers, [[For the Lulz]] or even [[For the Evulz]].
