[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday my family (Dh, two teen sons, and I) went out to eat.  We were seated at a booth right next to the bussing station.
So Dh and I were seated on one side, two sons seated across from us, and the bussing station was right behind our booth (behind my sons.)  It was fine-all we really saw was the side of the cabinet,  until after our appetizers a server (not ours) came and placed a spray bottle and rag right on the edge--[b]so basically a few inches from my sons' heads. [/b] It wasn't a pristine perfect new rag--it was very stained and grimy looking--at about 3 feet in front of me in my direct line of sight.

I thought it was gross and complained to Dh.   Dh thought "it isn't that bad in the scheme of things..."  but after I complained a lot, he got up and moved the rag and spray bottle to a different part of the same bussing station, out of my view.
A few minutes later, our food arrived, and Dh's order was wrong.   Server took it back to the kitchen.   Another server came up to the bussing station, made a noise that showed she was surprised to see the rag/spray bottle moved, and moved it back to the space that was in my direct line of sight (about 3 feet away from my face.)

So Dh got up from the table to complain to the manager.   I think he was mostly led to complain because his order was wrong (the server kind of gave him attitude when he pointed it out) and Dh really thought I was making too big a deal about the rag.

What do you think?   Isn't a dirty rag, in your direct line of sight, pretty gross to see while eating?[/quote]

Can you calirfy? An Iphone is about 5 inches long. Are you saying that if your son placed one end of an iPhone to his head the other end would be touching the rag? [/quote]

Maybe a few inches more than that.
The bussing station was touching the the back of the low backed booth we were in, and the server put the rag on the  edge closest to our booth.
