I spat in horrible customer’s food & watched them eat it after they made staff cry, says Texas star Sharleen Spiteri
SHARLEEN Spiteri has revealed she once spat out food and served it to a rude client when she was a hairdresser.
The Texas singer told how she wanted to get revenge on a woman who was "horrible" to staff at the Glasgow salon where she worked.
After reducing a junior assistant to tears, the customer demanded that someone fetch her a tuna roll from a sandwich shop nearby.
Sharleen, 55, put some of the tuna in her mouth and chewed it before spitting it back into the roll and giving it to the woman to eat.
The pop star picked the incident as the worst thing she has ever done during an appearance on the Restless Natives podcast.
She said: "I know the worst thing I have ever done.

"When I was a hairdresser there was this woman that used to come in on a Saturday morning as soon as the doors opened.
"She must have been about late fifties or early sixties and she was a pain in the a**e. She was horrible to everybody.
"This new junior had just started and she made her cry so I said 'Listen, let me show a trick that will make you feel better.'
"The woman would always send somebody across the road to get her a tuna roll.

"So when the girl brought the roll back I put a big bit of tuna in my mouth, chewed it and spat it right back into the roll.
"I cut it for her, took it back up the stairs and watched her eat it.
"So never, ever be mean to anybody. She made this young girl cry.
"My name's not Spiteri for nothing."
Sharleen worked at the Irvine Rusk salon in Glasgow before finding fame with Texas.
The band have had hits including Black Eyed Boy and Say What You Want and have sold more than 40 million records.
