\n\t\tOwner tried to claim the aggressive message was a joke<\/p>\n
An Italian restaurant wrote, \u2018This is p***ing me off. Burn [her] eggs and spit in them\u2019 after a tourist complained they were runny.<\/p>\n
Clara\u00a0had been visiting the Victor Lab, in Romagna, Italy<\/a> for breakfast with her family last week.<\/p>\n But when the Brazilian mum\u2019s scrambled eggs, juice, and coffee arrived she asked her teenage server if the eggs could be \u2018a little more cooked\u2019.<\/p>\n He reportedly scoffed, \u2018we don\u2019t make raw eggs here\u2019 before taking them back to the kitchen, La Voce di Cesenatico\u00a0reported.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018In the end, they arrived very soft, but I didn\u2019t ask for them to be recooked,\u2019 the diner, who refused to reveal her surname after getting death threats, said.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t\t\tSign up for all of the latest stories\t\t\t<\/p>\n Start your day informed with Metro’s News Updates<\/a> newsletter or get Breaking News<\/a> alerts the moment it happens. <\/p>\n \u2018I let it go because I didn\u2019t want to argue,\u2019\u00a0Clara said.<\/p>\n But when it was time to pay she noticed something peculiar with her receipt.<\/p>\n In Italian, it read: \u2018This is pissing me off. Burn the eggs and spit in them.\u2019<\/p>\n She claimed her family became \u2018scared\u2019 over the possibility of their food getting saliva seasoning. <\/p>\n After telling the 17-year-old waiter she understood the message, he reportedly went \u2018as white as a sheet\u2019 and tried to throw the receipt away. But Clara told him she would call the police if he did.<\/p>\n She went viral after posting the receipt under a scathing one-star Google review of the restaurant. <\/p>\n A manager then apologised under the comment saying: \u2018The behavior you reported was absolutely inappropriate\u00a0and in no way reflects the values, customer service, and professional standards we strive to ensure every day.\u2019<\/p>\n After the altercation blew up on social media<\/a> the Victor Lab seized their chance to capitalise, trying to joke on\u00a0a video on their<\/a> TikTok<\/a> account.<\/p>\n \t\t The owner is filmed pretending to be a demanding diner ordering a dish with added \u2018spit\u2019 in an attempt to make light of the situation.<\/p>\n They even added a poll asking customers whether the 17-year-old server should be sacked.<\/p>\n \u2018Sometimes it almost makes you laugh when you watch it, but this isn\u2019t a laughing matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s serious,\u2019 said Clara, adding she had received racist threats on social media.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow \t\t\tComments \t\t\t\tAdd as preferred source \t\t\t\tNews Updates<\/p>\n Stay on top of the headlines with daily email updates.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Italian](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SEI_309361965-9f8c.jpg\")
