I get a chicken ghallaba wrap with a side of grilled vegetables from a local Mediterranean restaurant almost every day for lunch. I haven't gotten tired of it because it's both delicious, relatively inexpensive ($10) and assume, quite healthy. When I say every day I mean every day I work for about the last 4 months. I've gotten to the point where I call in and they know who I am and know what I'm going to order ahead of time. I really like going there and it's very convenient to just stop off there on my way to work.
And I've vowed never to go there again.
While picking up my food I saw the manager sneeze into his hands and not wash them before starting to handle food and food utensils (he was putting flat bread into the oven, went to sit down, sneezed, then went to get flat bread out of the oven.) I mentioned to the person who was cashing me out that the guy didn't wash his hands after sneezing. That's how the flu is spread, man. :( Then the guy cashing me out said something to the manager in Arabic and the manager said "Miss I did not sneeze into my hands."
I was standing right there. I saw him do it. I spend most of my day talking to people who're lying to my face and I just said, nah, give me my money back and told them I wasn't coming back. No argument, I just got a refund, said I wasn't coming back, and haven't been back.
I know that sometimes people sneeze. Heck, sometimes people working at restaurants sneeze or cough or whatever and forget to wash their hands. I know it happens. Whatever. What really got under my skin is the guy saying he didn't do it when I saw him do it. If he didn't lie to my face I'd probably shrug it off and still go there. Instead, I'm trying every Mediterranean restaurant I can find that's on my way to work but nowhere is as good. :/
Should I stick to my guns? Should I come crawling back? Am I being a bitch?
