Worms in Soup Declared 'Waiter's Revenge'
By Khaosod English


A screenshot from the video of the soup posted on social media.

NONG KHAI — A waiter at a restaurant in Nong Khai province served a bowl of fish soup with live fly worms because he was angry at his boss, an investigation launched by the Department of Public Health revealed.

The investigation came after a customer posted a video on social media showing the small worms wriggling in his bowl of gaeng som (Thai sour soup made with tamarind).

Yesterday Wiwat Korwiriyakomol, a specialist at Nong Khai Department of Public Health, told reporters that officials investigated the video and determined that the incident took place on 8 February at a restaurant "next to Mekong river."

According to the investigation, a waiter who was angry after a scolding from his boss decided to re-serve a fish head that was leftover from the day before.

Why not post the actual headline from the source?

"According to the investigation, a waiter who was angry after a scolding from his boss decided to re-serve a fish head that was leftover from the day before."

Yet, this is the punishment for this psycho:

"Wiwat said the employee has been suspended and his salary reduced."

One of wifey's old friends used to own a rather nice restaurant. Any customers who upset her got a mouthful of chefs own sauce in any further dishes they ordered.

'Wiwat said the employee has been suspended and his salary reduced.'

How can the waiter possibly be retained as an employee, albeit on a reduced salary, following this incident? Surely he would be instantly dismissed at the very least!

My mate once complained to a bar that his Sangsom coke was a little light on the sangsom. They took it away and topped it up.

I assume the top consisted mainly of sangsom.

I warned him - he looked at me and said "alcohol kills 99% of germs. I'll take my chances", and skulled it.

Now that's what I call an optimist.

...it seems like this phenomenon of 'having a ready excuse/justification for any wrongdoing is pervasive...

...I wonder why there were no 'likes' to a previous response that cites this phenomenon....

...maybe it didn't make it past 'God'....

It wasn't the Vietnam restaurant. There are numerous well established restaurants along the river with Thai and western customers. The restaurant this took place at is well known and about 6km outside of Nongkhai on the way to Tha Bo.

The hub of idiots!

Please, for me, tell wifey's old friend, that she's a pig-<deleted> savage and ought to have her <deleted> gouged out.

Same goes for the pig-<deleted> savage "chef".

Thanks in advance.

Rather nice restaurant indeed...

"Waiter, there's a maggot in my soup"

"Shhhhh! don't shout, everybody will want one"

Sorry, getting my coat now.

THAINESS

I'm surprised the Thais didn't say "OOOH! Yummy!"

You can hear the guy retching the in the background:

'Wiwat said the employee has been suspended and his salary reduced.'

How can the waiter possibly be retained as an employee, albeit on a reduced salary, following this incident? Surely he would be instantly dismissed at the very least!

Because the potential to burn the restaurant down would excist.Yes i know,the waiter would be prime suspect and go to jail but it doesn't matter.In his eyes face has been retained.I have fought against this stupidity many times and have wasted my breath.

Time to find a place for 'inactive cooks' now.

THATS not maggots... just forgot to kill the rice!!!

Probably moved to an inactive post.
