Went to Chuck A Rama today

Scooby Doo — Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:24:07 GMT

After shopping for hours buying a bed mattress and then some Halloween and Christmas fabric, my DD and I decided to stop at Chuck a Rama to eat. I have a big plate of salad in front of me and then look over at the booth next to our table. Bad decision. The man seated across from his wife was throwing up. He filled his plate and their two empty glasses. Then they got up quickly and left. The waitress came over to clean up and just stood there. My DD told her to be careful with that. The waitress says, is that what I think it is? Yep. Poor woman had a heckk of a time dealing with it. Then she got a pan of sanitizer and wiped down the whole booth. Then she told us that she soaked her hands in a sink of strong sanitizer. So you never know if you're going to be next to sit in that booth. And that's one way of making people sick (pun intended).

They didn't leave the waitress a tip either. DD and I gave her 10 bucks because she deserved it.

@Scooby DooBless your heart! This sounds like a bad episode of "What WouldYou DO" You are good people for your kindness to the cleanup person.

No matter how embarrassed or something genuinely ill going on with that couple, running out without warning the management of the mess and leaving no tip is just people behaving badly.

I’m not saying they ought to have gotten gloves and a bucket of cleanser to get to work on their own, but just running off with no consideration for the staff or other patrons is disgusting and malicious. Inexcusable.

Knowing human nature, they are unlikely to return to that establishment again any time soon, lest they be recognized, so I think the waitress is safe from a repeat of this gross unpleasantness.

It was remarkably thoughtful, humane and generous of you to reach deep in your pocket and supply extra compensation to that unfortunate worker. I admire you.

Maybe it should be called 'Up-Chuck A Rama', seems more appropriate.

I thought you were kidding with that awful name for a restaurant, @Scooby Doo, but I did a search and there it was with several locations in Utah.

I just can’t handle buffet-style restaurants.

Of course they left quickly. They were probably so mortified that the last thing on their minds was leaving a tip. I say this having gone through something even worse recently.

My kids have always called this place Chuck A Bucket and today they were proved right.

Sound like the place should be renamed"Up-Chuck A Rama".

Sorry, IG, I hadnt seen your post before mine.

Great minds think alike

Oh, I just feel so sorry for all involved, even the ill diner. Though if it had been me or my DH who had been ill I would have participated in the clean up.

@Scooby Doo, you did a really nice thing making up for the tip that these people were too overwhelmed to leave. No matter what there is no excuse to leave that kind of mess with a waitress or staff to clean up. NONE.

In spite of "the incident", that really is a terrible name for a restaurant.

I wouldn't have been able to finish my meal if I had witnessed that.
