Now who ordered the painful, nerve shredding poison?
This is just superb…
From The Kansas City Times June 23 1918 (via ChicagoReader.com)
Drugging the shitty tippers? Well I get to my feet and I applaud them, I applaud them until the tears run down my fat but pretty face. Not only were these waiters slipping their least popular guests a big dirty dose of Ptomaine powder but they were framing the kitchen staff too. That my friends is a toofer. Mwahahahaha.
Wow it’s a pretty good job we don’t resort to such vengeful ways now, I would be dragging more powder about than your average coke dealer.
All joking aside it’s obvious I cannot condone such behaviour. Condone? Condemn? Is that the word I wanted?
Think on it before you go out this weekend…
Have a good one.

I’m a generous tipper when I’ve a pocket full of those fake £1 coins. It’s a pain taking the shine off them.
Still, 20 for a tenner…
extra poison for you….
What’s wrong with just wearing their steak in your pants? People these days…
I KNOW! Drugs, poisons? too much like hard work
I did also wonder why they thought making their customers horrendously sick might make them want to tip extra next time – last time I ordered the salmonella and chips from an eatery I decided I should at least half my tip…or do waiters love revenge even more than tips? A frightening thought…
hard to say…I had a table the other night that was annoying me so much I would have happily poisoned the hell out of them….but then they left me £10 and the thought of poisoning them seemed rather rude…so make of that what you will
yet another reason i’ve begun tipping a minimum of 20% or $20, whichever is higher. makes those visits to the diner for eggs and toast quite pricey, but i’m taking NO chances with you waiterfolk…
That was back in the good old days when you could buy cocaine and opium based products alongside the Ptomaine.
A case of both history (and dinner!) repeating itself: wasn’t antimony the same stuff used in the recent Poison Curry Murderer case? I think the tip there was don’t leave your ex with a set of house keys.
Right – I’m off out for lunch (checks change pocket).
I wish I had some for the family I had last night whose bill came to $159 and they gave me $150 in gift cards and debited the rest leaving me a whopping $5 tip! Cheap bastards I tell you!
Well, when I sit down and the waiter hands me a menu I will declare that I will be tipping 30%. Hopefully that should remove antinomy and ptomaine from my order, will it Manuel?
I have a question. How did they administer the poison AFTER the guest had paid their bill? After they had eaten? Seems almost impossible to me.
I must confess that once when treated so poorly by a waitress at a crappy diner that I left two Midol (along with the tip, however.)
Where has your blog been all my life?
Ah, the good old days
