This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Eating in Restaurants
Ok, there’s no guarantees about the state of the food, but most restaurant workers are too busy to spit in every meal. So here’s my 3 step quid to avoid uninformed consumption of body fluids.

1. Be nice and polite at all times. Treat the staff as you’d like to be treated, even if the service is shit.
2. Still want pudding or coffee after a ropy main course? Don’t complain, and never send anything back…ever.
3. Carry enough cash to cover the bill.

This is how it works. If something isn’t up to scratch complain after your meal is complete. When the manager invariably says “You should have complained earlier” reply “No, you should have got it right first time”

Offer to pay a reasonable amount of the bill, deducting the cost of the rubbish dish, or say 20% for poor service. Stay calm and make sure other people in the restaurant over hear you making an offer to pay.

The manager can accept your offer or refuse it, either way leave the restaurant. As long as you’ve made a reasonable offer to pay you’re committing no offence and it’s not a police matter.

Don’t go back and tell everybody you know how shit they are.
