Question? Do you mind eating food that has directly rested on the table at a restaurant?

If it is something dry like a roll as you suggested, then OK it's going down. But if it is something wet and saucy like a chicken wing, then no I will not eat it.

For instance, you have an item like a roll or a piece of bread that sits on the table next to your plate.

What sort of restaurant does this? I'm used to them being on their own plate or in a basket.
 
This would not bother me at all at home. If I was with some company I was trying to impress at a restaurant, I might feel differently, but bread is pretty basic. It would not bother me at all. After all, I put knife and fork on the table and still put those in my mouth so I don't really see much difference between that and eating a piece of bread that is directly on the table.
 
I've seen what a few restaurants (OTHER THAN WAFFLEHOUSE) use to clean their tables, no I would absolutely not eat anything on the table. I would however encourage anyone and everyone else to do so. :beer:
 
Now that I have the Pink Eye, I make sure I go around a touch every piece of bread before eating my own...
 
If the food in question has been sitting on the restaurant table for seven years then I would not choose to eat it.

It was probably genoa or cotto then, in which case it was probably improved (if anything) by spending time on the floor.
 
i have no idea..it was resting on top of some hard cheese slices. it was quite a nice looking sandwich..i can understand my bosses pain when he dropped it.
 
Depends on the restaurant. When I worked in Diners and casual restaurants in my youth, the rag that your table is wiped off with is nothing but gross. It's just a damp rag that probably picks up a bunch of nasty stuff then deposits it back on the next table that is wiped with it.

When I worked in nicer restaurants with tablecloths, that just felt cleaner.
 
I forgot to even reply to op. Yeah its pretty gross. I like my silverware resting on napkins and no food touching the table. It's pretty common sense.
