A bunch of my co-workers took me out for lunch for my birthday one year. We ended up at a seafood place with a huge salad bar. Many of us opted for the salad bar for our lunch.
Just before we got to the salad bar, a group of elderly customers went up to the bar to get their salads. One gentleman - and I'll never forget this - started sampling everything at the bar from the serving spoons, serving forks, on tongs. I watched in horror as he slurped down spoonfuls of English peas, then strawberries, and gawd-knows-whatelse. Oh, and yes... he returned the serving spoons, etc., that had been in his mouth to the serving containers! YUK!
I tried to flag down the waitress to let her know - her response "I didn't see it; it didn't happen."
