Its a vicious circle!!

My car’s fuel meter was running low, so I decided to fill in fuel at the nearest gas station. I filled up fuel and also checked the air pressure and should have gone back to office but decided to go to Adyar Anandha Bavan at that gas station. I always have a craving for chats and whenever I fill up fuel for my car, I somehow get attracted to Adyar Anandha Bavan and my legs automatically take me to that place.

It was a late afternoon, so no one was there and I ordered for a Channa Masala and an Aloo Chat. When I was enjoying my Channa Masala (Yummy it was!), a man (gentle!) entered and ordered for a Somosa Channa. It was a self service counter and the service guy tried to pick up a spoon from the bowl (unfortunately, there was only one spoon on that bowl) kept on the counter, but it fell down. He promptly kept the spoon back on the bowl and picked a spoon from somewhere else and gave it to the gentleman standing nearby. He relished his Somosa Channa and was happy, I guess, with the way spoon issue was handled. He left satisfied both for the food and the service.

I was still finishing my Aloo Chat when a new customer came in and ordered for some fancy Halwa. It was like an action replay for me, everything was same expect that this time the spoon didn’t fall down and ofcourse there was no spoon left on the bowl.

Now I am thinking about my spoon.. Oh no, it’s a vicious circle??

Interesting.. as Xena says, when it comes to hygiene no amount of quality practice would be suffice.. it all depends on what the service guys think.

btw, thought u r in B'lore now.

Yes Xena,these little little things will certainly help in maintaining quality at any place.

:)) Good 1!

This is always the case. There very few food outlets where a truthful effort is made to render hygienic service.

Even if the management is particular about it, its ultimately the people behind the counter who should show some concern for hygiene. We are at their mercy!
