Talk about not knowing what goes on in the back of the house... pinheads like
that are fools, don't they realize those kitchen doors swing both ways... I'd
have comped him with a screwdriver iced tea; vodka, oj, and pee.
Btw, I don't believe this story, any real restaurant owner would have called
the police and filed charges against that patron for food tampering, which
carries a very stiff penalty.... there are literally over a million different
types of screw fasteners (and I'm being very conservative, probably closer to 5
million), would be simple enough to search that person for more screws of the
same type. And certainly easy enough to eliminate that type from the
restaurant equipment.
