When You Serve Soup with Flies, Its No Laughing Matter
We all know the jokes starting “Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup…”. One young diner, Andrea Svensson from Gothenburg, Sweden, didn’t see the funny side when she was served a French Onion soup with a half-dead fly swimming in the bowl. The young lady was out for a romantic dinner with her fiancé but the evening took a sour turn when she actually found a dead fly floating in her $30 starter. “I feel sick just talking about it,” said Miss Svensson, 27 years old. “I would have swallowed the filthy insect if my boyfriend hadn’t seen it.” The couple, outraged, immediately called the waiter over to complain. Now this waiter then proceeded to do the worst thing possible for customer service – thinking they were joking, he laughed off the complaint and walked away! “It may seem funny, but we weren’t impressed.” said David Tomas, Andrea’s boyfriend. “It was a real breach of good hygiene and put both of us off our meal. When they didn’t take us seriously it just made me more upset.” In the end they had to get hold of the manager of the restaurant, who, upon seeing the insect apologised and offered the couple dinner at no charge. This offer was hurriedly refused by the pair, who were by this stage not feeling so hungry any more and decided to leave.
Ignoring the jokes, this is a hygiene situation that any restaurant owner knows should be taken seriously. The hot summer weather naturally attracts insects, especially in a food preparation area, and installing a low cost fly killer is an absolute must in any commercial kitchen. However this establishment, not being used to hot weather due to the normally chilly Swedish climate, was not equipped with one. “It’s the first time it has happened, but we know we must do something about it,” commented the head chef. “We do take hygiene very seriously in our kitchens, and actually have an air purifier already to trap airborne viruses, as well as air conditioning throughout the restaurant.” Let’s hope other restaurants learn the lesson from this. Just one of these fly in soup incidents is enough to ruin a reputation. Then of course there’s the even bigger danger of a visit from the health inspector, who has the power to shut down a restaurant for incidents like these.
