what are your casual dining boundaries?
mine are:

NEVER stick your finger in the pasteurized process butter flavored substitute sauce they provide at red lobster.

NEVER get more salad than breadsticks at olive garden.

NEVER touch my crispy wagonwheel funtime fritter plate at tschotkes.

7. Eewww! I have cultivated a careful fantasy about the cleanliness of those
on-the-table condiments, but the gritty reality of your post has shattered my illusions... Single-serving packets are it from now on.

6. Do NOT touch my french fries!
Especially the crispy ones.

If you ask politely, you may have a long limp one.

8. I heard that!
Edited on Tue Sep-29-09 07:14 AM by BuelahWitch
One time the guy behind me at McDonald's grabbed one of my fries and ate it. I said, "Can't you wait?" and he and the kid taking the order just giggled. And no, I didn't know him, just a random stranger...

Edited to get rid of an extra apostrophe
