I don't know if I've ever done this in my life, but the only circumstances I can really see it happening in are ones where the only way to salvage the meal is through better cooking, or if the waiter/waitress got a part of your order wrong and it would only take them five or less minutes to replace the wrong part.

Anyone who makes a habit of this is an automatic piece of shit.

I was a chef at a Macaroni grill for a while and all I can say is, don't do this unless you like the taste of disease. Some of the shit I saw some chefs do there was pretty ruthless.

I am still stunned by the memory of that one.

sometimes i wanna yell "fuck you!" at people when they blow my mind.

One night I woke myself up by yelling "fuck you!" in my sleep.

I knew a chef who wiped his dick on all returns. Would even dip his shit in someone's water before sending it out. I had a hard time eating out for a couple years after my experiences in that restaurant.

i think you mentioned this in another thread and it cracked me up then too.

CRAP, WF5. I've had to send food back due to a mistake by whomever took my order. I hate doing it, but I can't let myself pay for something I can't eat*. I'm never a dick about it and I still tip. Everybody makes mistakes. Those who throw a fit or send stuff back often are pricks.


*I can't eat anything with a substantial amount of onions in/on it, makes me ill. I always order things with "no onions".

Just don't do it.

You don't want to deal with the food after the chef has dealt with your return.

*I can't eat anything with a substantial amount of onions in/on it, makes me ill. I always order things with "no onions".

My wife, too. But she will usually just scrape them off or pick them out. I mean, that's all the chef's gonna do, plus add some pubes or whatever.

i once received a lamb shank that remained frozen in the center. never having ordered such a delicacy before i embarrassingly asked the waiter if this was supposed to be the case; ahi is surved raw, why the hell not lamb?

he apologized, embarrassed, and brought me a new one. it was delicious.

it needed to be cooked. how could it be crap to send it back?

depends, but certainly in this case not crap.

also, my son has crohn's disease that we have cured by changing his diet. we have to ask for special preparations like "no kethcup" and "cheddar, not american cheese." when they fuck those we up we have to send them back.

edit: i'm not too picky. i found a hair in my burrito the other day. pulled it out and kept eating.

I do it all the time but only because if you ask the chef to

wipe his dick

on your dinner beforehand he rarely obliges.




I wonder what the female equivalent of this behaviour is. I think my salad would actually taste better if someone had rubbed their boobs on it.

Only under extraordinary circumstances do I ever send food back. I think it has only happened twice in my life and both times at the same restaurant. Once there was parchment paper in my potatoes, the other time my food was completely burnt. It was not really a big deal to me, I just graciously alerted the server and she took care of it. There is no reason to be a dick unless there has been blatant malicious misconduct by the kitchen or wait staff. No one deserves to get yelled at for a simple mistake, ever.
