Today we went out to brunch at a mid-price non chain restaurant. Upon sitting down while waiting to order, the server brought our water and proceeded to dump an entire glass in my crotch, soaking my pants and underwear. I was flabbergasted. I was so wet there was no way I could sit through the meal and was mildly upset about it. In my thirty plus years of restaurant dining I have never had this happen before.

At the same time I didn't really know what to do. In the end we just stood up and walked out without complaining. Should I have done so? Is this a fireable offense that would have cost the server her job? Does a restaurant usually offer something when this happens? The hostess noticed we were leaving and why but didn't try to stop us. I'd like to hear how other FTers have handled this situation.

Thanks,
P
