Have you ever been at a cafè or restaurant, been served a drink, then 5 minutes later a fly buzzes right into your beverage?
Flies are part and parcel of living in Australia. They are something that are always around and you can’t do a whole lot about other than killing every one with fly spray or closing every door and window. Neither method is 100% successful, there will always be a rouge fly!
Over the weekend a guy came in for breakfast and ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice. We took it over then about 5-10 minutes later one of my workmates bought the juice back to the bar because it had a fly in it. The fly flew in sometime after being dropped at the table. My workmate wanted to make him another juice. I didn’t think we should because, yeah, flies are gross but it’s not exactly our problem if you don’t shoo them away from your drink. My argument was that if a fly landed on your piece of bacon would you expect us to recook your entire breakfast? Co-worker already promised the customer a new drink and I am not really in a position to tell people what they can and can’t do so I dropped the subject.
However, I am curious…what would you expect? Please take the poll!

Hey, where is the option for; “Scoop it out, eat the fly (mmmm protein) and drink it anyway. You shouldn’t have to pay the venue for food they didn’t prepare.” ?

Hahaha I meant to put in the ability to add your own answers but as it was my first time making a poll I must have skipped over it!
