When a restaurant fucks up your order, do you bitch?
Generally, I don't unless there's special circumstances.
If I ask them to withhold the lettuce and they end up leaving it on, that's fine, I am capable of removing it myself. If I ask for cheese and I receive a plain hamburger it's FRUSTRATING, but I still refrain from hassling the workers.
Now, when I order something and it's not there, that's when I start bitching. Last night I was at In & Out and I had been craving a 3x3 for a month. I was determined to get full there. I ordered a 3x3 and when I received my order, I noticed they only gave me a double-double. Sure, this may not seem like a big deal, and it's really not, so I walk up there and kindly tell them they forgot a patty of meat (that I paid $1.50 extra for, mind you).
"DUDE, I'LL BET YOU $3 IT'S THERE!"
"Umm. What?"
"JUST TAKE A FEW BITES OUT OF IT AND IF IT'S NOT THERE I'LL MAKE YOU ANOTHER ONE."
"Umm. Okay."
So I sit down, take a couple bites and sure enough, it's not there. I walk back up there and tell them once again, I am missing a patty of meat. The same guy walks over.
"Well, you've already eaten half the burger."
"I took two bites, like you told me, then dug in with my fingers, it's just not there."
"GAH FINE HOLD ON"
So he takes the burger with him and leaves the counter. I walk back to my seat and sit down, not sure what's going on. Shortly after, the manager walks up to me.
"So, what's the problem here?"
"Umm, well you guys forgot a patty of meat. I mean, it's really not that huge of a deal, I'll take the double-double just fine. I didn't think it would cause this much trouble."
"Well, we've already thrown away the other burger."
"...I'm sorry?"
"It's okay, we'll make you another one."
About a minute later, my 3x3 arrives. I was hesitant to eat it, but fuck it. As long as they ain't sick, saliva doesn't have much taste to it.
Anyways, your turn!
