Apparently, people these days would rather take you to court than say they're sorry. About two months ago, I ordered a salad from a restaurant that I will keep nameless for now (just in case they're checking the lounge). I was BUSY that day and starved. Took two mouthfuls without looking and I looked at the third when it was about 2 inches away from my mouth. There sat this dead, 2 inch lettuce leaf green worm. X| I called them told them of it and they said, "thank you, your information has been noted". I couldn't speak to a manager because no manager was there blah blah. But they got me a replacement salad (as I could stomach the thought of eating there (or from there) again!) So what some of the guys here did was they took photographs of the culprit and either sent out emails or posted them on their sites or (face)books. Now I'm being sued for: 1. Slander (there is/was no worm) 2. Threatening employees (wtf?) I'll post the pictures of the worm up somewhere and repost here so you can see. Yeesh. PS. My lawyer says we're going to have these twits for lunch (minus the worms) -- modified at 7:45 Wednesday 10th October, 2007 here are the pics: Clicker[^] Clicker 2[^]

The question you should have been asking the restaraunt was not "Why was there a worm in my salad?" but "What in my salad killed the worm?" It was a lettuce leaf worm and there were lettuce leaves in the salad so it didn't starve to death. Something in the salad must have killed it. Poison perhaps? I suspect the corn. Don't trust anything that manages to stay whole after running through your digestive tract. :)

It probably suffocated (if the salad leaves were supplied to the restaurant in sealed bags)

Reminds me of the old joke: Q: What's worse than finding a worm in your salad? A: Finding *half* a worm in your salad.

I found half a worm in a candy bar once. X|

My wife found a live grasshopper in her salad at a restaurant. They replaced the salad saying now you have proof the salad is fresh and organic. :laugh:

Good luck with a countersuit. These twits are liable to bad publicity themselves into bankruptcy before you can recover any of the time and money of yours they've wasted.

You have no idea... My lawyer talked to their lawyer. He's a 25 year old. I mean, I understand whizz kids (hell, we're the industry for it!) but experience is essential. Also, my lawyer (he's an OLD family friend, he knew my dad back in high school) says he sounded like he knew absolutely nothing as to how to deal with other lawyers. They're either real idiots or they have something up their sleeve.

I'd lean towards the former. A clueful lawyer generally wouldn't take a crap case, and this doesn't appear to be something that'd generate a spate of good publicity for him.

Oh, its official alright. I've been given the court summons on the charges I mentioned. They're suing for 1000JD + loss and damages ($$$). 1000JD = $1408 (US) So the base is nothing (a restaurant like this ought to be making about 100,000 a month in revenue EASY) but the damages claim is a serious bill.
