I was eating out with friends one time when I was brought a salad with a rather large, green caterpillar among the lettuce. I pointed it out to the waiter and asked for a replacement salad. When he began to remove my plate, I asked for it to be left until my new salad arrived. One of my friends asked why and I said I wanted to make sure he didn’t take it back to the kitchen, remove the extra protein, then rearrange the greens before bringing it back. I did leave a generous (25%) tip. (As we left the restaurant, another friend asked “Do you think he spit in your second salad?” Ever the bundle of joy.)
