Oaky so...
Devil's advocate weighing in.
If the fork in question was one of those ecologically sound DISPOSABLE numbers that was being used over and over again, I can see how the o.p. might be a little skittish.
I mean, how would everybody feel about a restaurant that re-uses paper/bamboo straws.
Rinse them and put them out in the afternoon sun to be re-used at the next night's service.
Yuck.
Same goes for the fork.
Someone mentioned lipstick on the rim of a glass.
That's gross too.
After being served my beer in lipstick rimmed glasses once too often...I gave up.
I insisted on being served from a disposable plastic glass.
lol.
If I were to attend the restaurant mentioned in the o.p.'s story I would be right out of luck.
That sounds like the kind of a place where disposable lives on forever.
