Deliberate food contamination is restaurants is pretty common, from 
what I read and hear, and is becoming more common as the quality of 
staff decreases.

I remember my mother telling me one story. A customer in a 
restaurant complained that his steak wasn't tender enough, sent it 
back and asked for another. The cook took the same steak, threw it 
on the floor, stamped several times on it with the heel of his shoe, 
picked it up, spat on it, dropped in into the fry pan to re-heat it, 
then sent it back, saying to the waitress, "There! Ask him if it's 
tender enough now."

True story.
