The three second rule

Is it true at restaurants? If a piece of food falls on the ground, they will still serve it if it's on the floor for less than three seconds?
 
Yes, this is part of waiter/cook training for every restaurant in the country.

What do you think? If the people at a particular restaurant are unethical, they'll do what they think they can get away with. If they're not, they'll get you new food.
 
Usually it's a 10 second rule in the kitchen & serving areas - 5 second rule in the bathroom & loading dock , unless someone steps on it.

As a waiter I can agree that this is true. :roll:
 
It's in the "How to be a food service employee handbook" right after the chapter that describes how whip up the "special sauce" and just before the chapters on "how to bang a female employee in the walk in freezer"

Ahh, brings back memories from my teens.

Fitting post count for such a post, eh?
 
Many restaurants do much worse than that....


At a rest/bar a bartender was serving a lady that was a total bitch to him. On her last margarita he took her glass in the back pulled his pants down and rubbed his johnson all along the rim before filling it up.

This was at an On the Border.... but I can't remember where??

It always amazes me when people think they're are achieving some sort of victory over food service employees by being jerks to them. As if they can really prove, or even know, that there is semen in their alfredo sauce.

Hehe 🙂

Cheers LeadMagnet :beer:
 
The wait staff wouldn't do that. What if they put it back on the plate and the customer finds hair or sand in the food ? No tip for the waiter.
 
chances are there'll be more dangerous bacteria transferred to the food by someone's hand as they pick it up than the food would pick up from the floor.

Remember, the area around your mouth and your hands contain far more harmful bacteria than around your anus.

Bon apetite!

There's nothing on the floor that can kill you. Bacteria move at 0.0001mph, so 5 seconds or 10 seconds or whatever won't make a difference.

The food has been dropped on them, not placed in a sterile environment with an invite sent to all neighbouring bacteria. :roll:
