[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I waited tables in the 80's we refilled ketchup bottles like that at the end of the night after closing.  If a ketchup bottle started to look gunky we were supposed to replace it with a fresh bottle.  The head waiter/waitress would come by and inspect our tables (including the ketchup bottles) and we would get written up if they found something amiss.

It does not necessarily surprise me that restaurants do this nor does it surprise me that some restaurants might have lower standards than other restaurants do.  Check your bottles.[/quote]

ME too, also in the 80s.  Marrying the catsup bottles was part of the sidework.  We had to use HOT towels to wipe down the bottles and the opening before marrying them.  (My love I  troth to you, hahaa, we though that was funny.  After a 10 hr shift...)  Anyway, it was a Ruby Tuesday, and we also had to have X white sugar packets, Y Sweet and Lows, Z Brown sugars in the container on the table.  No more, no less.  They were SUPER picky about everything.  Worst restaurant I ever worked for, hours of sidework.  Wretched place.
