Maria Clara discovers restaurant bill with 'spit' instruction after polite request for cooked eggs
A Brazilian tourist, Maria Clara, discovered a disturbing message on her restaurant receipt that appeared to instruct the staff to spit in her food. While dining at Victor Lab in Italy, Maria Clara politely requested that her scrambled eggs be cooked a little more. The server, a 17-year-old teenager, responded dismissively and eventually served the eggs soft. Upon checking her bill, Maria Clara found a message intended for the kitchen reading, 'This is pissing me off. Burn the eggs and spit in them.' While there is no evidence that the staff actually spat in the food, the message was identified as a joke between the server and the chef. The restaurant initially apologized for the employee's behavior, labeling it inappropriate and not reflecting their professional standards. However, the restaurant later posted a TikTok video mocking the situation, which received mixed reactions from the public. Maria Clara noted that the social media response felt somewhat tone-deaf, as she felt the incident was a serious matter rather than a laughing matter.
