EDIT:
People are asking how much soup got spilled on me. It was about the size of a small cereal bowl. The waitress somehow dropped it and the bowl hit my back. I guess the bowl spun around and a good amount landed on my back and chair and the rest on the floor. I probably got like half of the contents of the bowl on my back. And yeah, the threat title should say "spilled" instead of "poured". That was my mistake.

Today was my last day at my internship, and a lot of us interns and other employees went out for lunch. A different waitress accidentally spilled some hot soup on me. It wasn't skin-burning hot or anything, but a bit painful. Plus, getting soup poured on your clothes obviously sucks. The waitress emphatically apologized, and I didn't make a big deal about it. I was going to be leaving for home soon, so I guess that was a good day for it to happen.
The restaurant didn't really do anything though. They charged me for my food, and even had the tip already baked into the bill. Many employees saw it, so I'm sure the management knew about it. It was only a $15 meal, so I wasn't going to make a fuss about it. I'm just surprised that the restaurant didn't acknowledge it at all.
To those that have had similar experiences or work/have worked in restaurants, should I have expected something like the meal being free?
