Tourist Given Black Eye by Waiters After Refusing to Pay For Steak

He was celebrating his wedding anniversary in Venice.

Some people are afraid to send food back in restaurants for fear the staff will retaliate by spitting in it, but a restaurant in Venice took things to a whole new level. A Belgian tourist who was unhappy about the way his steak was cooked refused to pay for it and summarily had his ass kicked by a group of waiters, says news site The Local.

The man and his wife were dining at a restaurant called Trattoria Casanova on Monday when he complained "about the way his steak had been cooked." The staff reportedly replaced the steak with a new one, but the man refused to pay for it — at which point he was allegedly attacked by "three or four" waiters. The tourist sustained a black eye and broken teeth and spent the night in the hospital.

Sadly enough, it's not the first time an incorrect food order has spurred violence: A pregnant woman is suing Dairy Queen, claiming a worker beat her up after she complained about her Blizzard not being chocolatey enough, and a retired Army general was arrested for allegedly attacking a Chinese food delivery person who brought the wrong order.
