Anonymous Coward User ID: 71489562 United Kingdom 02/19/2016 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like steak well done. I ordered a steak and specified that I wanted it cooked completely. When the food arrived, my steak was so under cooked that I didn't even have to cut into it to notice. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71503346 I felt bad asking the waiter to take it back because he seemed overwhelmed with the dinner crowd. He knew that I felt bad, and he took it back and had the chef put it back on the grill until it was cooked correctly. He must have told the chef that I felt bad, because he came out and brought the steak to me personally. He told me that, as a chef, he would rather have a person send food back that isn't properly cooked then have them just eat it anyway, because he wants to make sure that he and his staff are offering the most excellent and accurate service. He was really nice. I always worry about the spit thing, I guess you have to gauge the overall atmosphere of the place. And if you do return food, do it very nicely. Steak well done? You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Chef's pride themselves on being able to cook a steak to 'perfection' meaning rare. Asking for a steak well done is the highest form of insult. I would have thrown you out Gordon Ramsay style if I was your chef. Order a burger if you want something well done next time. |

When we eat out, most of the time its at a small Vietnamese place. Its pretty good, and cheap. |

Give a chef the room to be original. If he works in a chain, everything dies. BTW Vietnamese food can be very very good and often less fat as Chinese food.

Rubatosis User ID: 70053572 United States 02/19/2016 12:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Exactly. Don't fuck with the people who handle your food. Then again, I'm a little bitch and probably wouldn't say anything to the server. People who are intimidated by you talk bad about you with hopes that others won't find you so appealing. Rubatosis - n. the unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat, whose tenuous muscular throbbing feels less like a metronome than a nervous ditty your heart is tapping to itself, the kind that people compulsively hum or sing while walking in complete darkness, as if to casually remind the outside world, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. ~ William Penn I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I truly was. Revenge is not in my plans. You'll fuck yourself on your own. |

Judethz User ID: 69883546 United Kingdom 02/19/2016 01:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Being that I once had to bust my ass for every tip and getting $2.01 an hour I AM one of those people who expect my table to be " prebussed", and have my food checked on 3 min after its been delivered to the table, and I expect refills, ect, in return I have no problem leaving a great tip for them. I've only ever sent food back 2 or maybe 3 times in my life and that was for being cold and undercooked, but I was never unkind or mean about it. No need for all that nonsense. ..but as a server you get some REAL ASSHOLES and you know how you deal with a beligerant asshole??? Quoting: Just Trina Yes that's a real annoyance and it happens a lot more than it should do. |

That thought alone makes it impossible to enjoy your food. They get one chance. If the first plate is unacceptable then I'm done. |

Quoting: Candle_In_the_Wind Where the fuck are you guys eating? thank you. done a shit ton of restaurant work at a lot of different places in my life too, and never once actually saw anyone spit in or do anything with the food like that before bringing it to a customer. wouldn't work at a place that had people that would do that, either, if it ever happened. But it was just something that never came up. and do I return things? Yes, if not done right, but I TREAT THE SERVERS AND STAFF LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. because they are. |

(for example someone asked for a steak rare then sent it back because they decided they wanted well done after they tried it rare.) |
