I hate sending food back
But my burger is too overdone. I typically just deal with things because you never know what if they spit on it if you send it back? Fingers crossed it's ok!!

I sent a fish sandwich back because I took a bite of it and it was still frozen. I took it back and the guy argued with me saying there was no way it could happen because it was timed in the frier. I showed him it was still frozen and he kept arguing. I mean did he think I had a frozen fish patty in my pocket and traded it. I did get a fresh cooked sandwich but still ...

@Heartlander Sounds like Bonnie, a 60 something server at one of the hotel restaurants I cooked at, she was the hotwl owner's sister, so we couldn't fire her, she had an attitude bigger than her waist.

@NativePortlander1970Sounds about right. We were told by her that if we ever came back to that restaurant we had better not sit at her tables.
Our food was getting cold and we asked another waitress that was passing by for utensils. That pissed off the mad waitress because she claimed that asking the 2nd waitress made her look bad in the eyes of the rest of the staff, and if we needed something we only had to ask once, an she was going to get us the utensils as soon as she had time to do so.

@Heartlander That's definitely Bonnie

@BrandNewMan That never happens, cooks are trained to check for doneness with every order. The next time you order a burger from a casual/diner, look for the notch on the edge of it, not only are we supposed to test squishyness with the tip of our finger, it's supposed to resist, but we cut a barely noticable notch on the edge of the burger to see if the juices still run red or clear, most servers don't know that trick.

@BrandNewMan That may be a violation of most food codes. Hopefully they corrected the situation.
@Heartlander It usually is, burgers must be cooked to a well done 165F, unless, in most states, a waiver is signed acknowledging food borne illnesses associated with certain undercooked foods.

As a former restaurant cook we have to make sure certain foods are done to a certain temp, all ground meats must be done to 165F. However if You believe your meal is over cooked, don't be afraid to send it back, that fear is a thing of the past because professional cooks, even at the casuals like IHOP and Denny's, or your local coffee shop/diner, thinks it's unprofessional, we take our cooking seriously and do not want to risk our jobs, because with cameras everywhere now, they know they'll be caught.
