Default don't eat here

i went to perth on saturday. was at midland gate shopping centre saturday morning and felt a bit peckish so went over to the food hall area to find something to eat. there was this carvery type place bucking beef and i ordered bacon and eggs. a coupla minutes later this woman (customer) came up to the counter with a plate of bacon and eggs she'd ordered and said the eggs were overcooked - i could see where she'd hacked into them to see how they were cooked - so they gave her two new ones. i wait a couple more minutes then out comes my plate with what looked like the other woman's 2 eggs on there. i asked the girl if they were the eggs the other woman brought back and she went to the kitchen, comes out and says yes thats them but theres nothing wrong with them she just didn't like the way they were cooked but if you like we'll cook fresh ones....
i don't know much about food laws but i'm sure they're not supposed to serve second-hand food to customers...

That's shocking ... mildly amusing ... but still bad.

I love it when places get named and shamed. I am a big fan of both Today Tonight and A Current Affair, Just hope I don't end up on there myself anytime soon. This is teh point where I usually ask "what nationality were they?" and get told "that's not an appropriate question" or similar BS.

Should have asked her if she would eat them, then complain to the manager.
Even now I'd be tempted to ring and complain still.
I was at Bakers Delight Kingsley and ordered an apricot pastry, there were 2 left, she got one out, dropped it on the floor and saw I had noticed so she gave me the other one. So I paid and walked off, then thought I'd double back for a drink and when I went back bugger me theres the apricot pastry back on the shelf, mmm yum.

Best thing to do is dob them in to the local council, surprisingly, it really works.

I would rather eat at Vagina Tandoori or Phat Phuc Noodles. (They are real restaurants by the way)

I was once doing deliveries at one of those chinese places in the valley, The ones where they hang the ducks and things in the window. I walked around the back and caught the owner urinating in the sink which was full of dishes.

When I was in high school I worked in a fish & chip shop for a chinese guy. I don't even want to mention what happened there, but if you knew, you'd probably blow chunks. Give you a hint.... dead mice rotting.

She only picked her daughter up from hospital last night.

We own a porperty in Homebush that is next door to what used to be a Thai restaurant. There is a lane between the backyards, and while we were cleaning out all the garbage that had been dumped in our yard by the neighbouring businesses and units I looked into the tin shed they used as a kitchen, and saw someone sitting on a milkcrate on the dirt floor, peeling potatoes while a fluffy white dog ran around them, over the pot of water they were putting the potatoes into.

They invited us to have dinner there that night, but we declined.

My mate was going to get some food from the local charcoal chicken place - as he was about to walk in, he saw the girl behind the counter reach into the back of her pants to scratch her bum crack briefly. He quickly turned around and walked away

Judge, jury and executioner wrapped up in the one convinient outlet!!! I wonder who insures them for slander, libel and other indemnities?? Wouldnt be a very profitable line of business i imagine. I mean, imagine having your business reputation damaged beyond repair by some trashy little show targeted at room temperature IQs that sells laundy powder and home loans in its ad breaks...

I was being sacrastic. The worst thing about those shows is that poeple actualy "contact them" in order to be on the show, as if being made to look an idiot on National TV will somehow make their life better, LOSERS

Haha, I was at Kitty O'Shea's irish pub the other evening, along with REAL Irish folk (who, by the way, are mad bastards to drink with : ). Anyways everyone was getting right drunk and my cousin comes back and says ot me and my mate "You guys use the sink right?" "Yer, course" is my reply. Then he says "Ah well don't use it tonight, some dude was taking a p!ss in it".

Not nearly as bad as the time my cousin went into the toilet at the Normanby and someone had taken a crap in a schooner and left it on top of the cistern. I hope to god they threw that glass out.

Anyways, my story (which is actually on topic this time):

Had a Scottish girl staying in Brisbane, was showing her the city (yes, showing the city ONLY, nothing else you filthy buggers : : ) and we were starving one afternoon and thus decided to eat at a place in the Queen St mall. Found a Chinese food buffet. We load our plates up because it was cheap and I start really getting into mine. I'm about 1/2 through my plate when my Scottish friend tells me that she has lots of hairs in part of her food. I immediately stopped eating and felt like vomiting. She took the plate back to the owner who said, in dodgy engrish "No no. Healfy fwood harrv har in it." And he repeated this over and over. I said "Bullshit! We want a refund!". His answer was no. So we gave up and went and ate maccas, which by the way did not have hair in it and tasted very good.

I remember at our year 7 school camp, we went to rottnest island and stayed at the barracks there.

Went for an evening walk and walked past the back of the kitchen.
Just outside the back door i saw a bucket filled with water and a dead quokka upside down in it! needless to say i was very wary of any kind of meat they served for dinner for the rest of our stay :P

A mate of mine was a chef and was working in Margret River W.A. One chef pegged these oysters in the bin because they were krap and the chinese guy got them out and cooked them. My mate went syco at him then just quit
