I think that most of us have had the experience of finding a hair in our food when we are out eating. It can be a rather disturbing experience, to say the least. Even though we may not be able to sue the restaurant, most will be kind enough to offer an apology in the form of a free meal. Perhaps that is what one Australian woman was looking forward to when she decided to lace her pasta dish with her own hair.
It happened at an Italian restaurant in Brisbane, Casa Nostra Ristorante. The patron, who has not been identified didn’t see there was a surveillance camera pointed in her direction. She pulled out a strand of her own hair and put it in the dish. She then showed the hair to a waiter that was passing by.
According to a Munchies report, there was more to the story: the restaurant would not give her a free meal. They could tell easily that it was actually her own hair in the pasta.
The woman was not willing to take no for an answer so she went on TripAdvisor and posted a bad review. Casa Nostra fired back by sharing security camera footage of her planting her own hair on Instagram.
As the video is playing, someone from the restaurant is narrating every step of the way. The implication is that the woman pulled a hair scam when the restaurant would not let her make a substitution from the menu. It wasn’t a simple substitution, she wanted to pay for an appetizer and get both an entrée and an appetizer in return.
This is where things get weird as if they aren’t weird enough already. The woman in the video claims to be dining with the duchess of the Netherlands according to Sarah Biuso, the owner of the restaurant.
