Yeah, I work in a kitchen, and if a ticket came in 5 mins before close I would be seriously pissed (unless it is a Friday or Saturday night, I'm used to it). You'll get old food also. But never in hell would I spit or do anything gross to someone's food. That is really fucked up. It takes someone special to do that, and if the restaurant would hire people like that, then I wouldn't come back. Hell, if I was even afraid of that, I wouldn't go there in the first place.
As far as standards of food, if I'm working in the off times, I only make enough food for that specific ticket. The food may take a few more minutes if I have to make fresh fries, but I figure people would rather get hot fresh food than stale food. I know most of the other cooks where I work don't give a shit and send out anything.
