If anyone needed a summary of British politeness and not wanting to cause a fuss, this is it.
What was colonization then?
We knew it was wrong of course…. But we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to cause a fuss.
I once ate a steak that was cold because of this. The memory will haunt me forever.
At least it wasn’t well done, was it?
Ah yes. Chewy boot leather. No it wasn’t. It was medium. I still wonder if they pulled the meat out of the fridge and didn’t give it a chance to warm through when searing it, but it didn’t seem all that rare in the middle. Just… cold.
Ribeye sashimi
Sure, but drunk Brits are the least polite people in the world
Also a decent summary of the stereotypical Jewish mother and her love of suffering. Also illustrated by the following joke:
Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: It’s all right, I’ll just sit in the dark.
I didn’t know that I did, but now I know that I did and do
If there are glass shards in your burger, making a new one in the same kitchen probably won’t help.
Honestly, I would have eaten that burger, before the point the shards glass were introduced. I completely relate.
yeah, feels wrong to waste food just because its not what i had ordered.
It all depends to be honest I’m paying money for the food and I want the food to be done correctly. I receive a burger and it’s ice cold in the center or the fries aren’t done I’ll send it back, however if it’s just cold because it’s been clear that it sat out for a little bit or they put the wrong ingredients on it I’ll suck it up and eat.
Being said, If I receive something that I didn’t order in replacement of something I did order I’m going to mention it. If the restaurant decides to throw it out that’s not me wasting food that’s the restaurant wasting food they could very easily have offered to give it any discount or gave it away. I refuse to have the blame of the kitchen be put on the consumer, the food wouldn’t have been wasted in the first place if the order was correct and there are many outcomes that the business can do that would prevent the food from being wasted before and after its cooked.
yeah, it really depends on how it happens.
if i receive some other dish that also pleases me, im not sending it back cause i dont want it to go to waste. and if its cheaper than what i had ordered, im paying the price of what i got, at most. If what I receive is shit food, i really dont mind sending it back and it going in the trash or whatever. I believe the restaurant that takes a plate that someone has already taken a bite of and reserves it to someone else at a discount is infringing some sanitary law… at least where i live.
I was meaning offering it to the table at a discount, yeah if it’s already been eaten from it should not be given to another table, if it hadn’t been eaten from then that’s a little different but yet definitely if it’s been eaten from no way.
I ordered ramen at a restaurant. I should have guessed that they misheard me when they brought me latex gloves. A few minutes later, they carried out a platter of crab and other seafood.
“I needed to try something new anyway, I always get the same thing”
“Looks like Fate has other plans for my dinner.”
But if those fries are limp, so help me
I once shared a house with three chefs, who each told me that if you’re sending food back to the kitchen, it’s better to state you don’t want anything else. Get the item removed from the bill and eat somewhere else. If you are with a group, suck it up and go hungry while they eat.
Not all chefs will do something but for some. their egos can’t handle that the food wasn’t right and they take “revenge”.
It’s safer not to risk it.
What? That’s not what happens. I’m a cook by trade. You would get fired so fast.
We just want to get through the day and remaking a dish and cooking it in the first place is no different.
All customers are assholes but I’d never mistreat their food.
I’m glad to hear that you’re a decent human being.
One of these chefs had worked in a top restaurant in Sydney, and said some of the crew were like animals, especially towards the end of a long and busy shift.
But to this day their warning always stuck in my mind. So I understand the glass reference.
This is what is known as “a coward”.
That’s something an obnoxious idiot would say
Enjoy your burnt, broken glass, burger, yellow belly.
Don’t try to wiggle your way out of calling socially insecure or shy people cowards.
