First ever rant 😠

I went to one of my favorite restaurants tonight and ordered a cheeseburger. This place has about the best burger in town, but not tonight! I ordered it well done. My burger just can't have any pink in it. They bring it out and I get it all fixed up when I see some red on the bun. I take a knife and open the burger up. The interior was medium rare. I am sorry, but what part of well done is medium rare. My server comes over and I show it to him. Now at this point it has all the condiments, pickles, onions and lettuce on it. You know what he says? Would you like me to have them finish cooking it for you? I don't think so! I want a new burger cooked right. So he takes it away and I wait for another burger to be cooked. The second one comes out and even the cheese on top is burned. They are lucky I like them and have had a hundred burgers here over the years or I wouldn't be back. Thanks for listening. First ever rant here is over.

There's a place we were eating at and the quality just went to nothing. So we stopped going and recently went again. One person got a hair in their food. I don't think we're gonna go back ever again now.

Their meal was comped and then an extra 10% off on the bill was added.

@twiigss yep that’ll do it for me too. Food poisoning or hygiene or a filthy restroom…order messed up and they get disgruntled when you ask them to give you what you wanted.

@cherokeepatti my sister came with us on a trip and she ordered a pizza. Half supreme the other half cheese only. When we got it, it was all supreme. So she called them and then said, when they remake that pizza you stand back there and watch them because I don't need spit in my food.

I thought, wouldn't freaking out and saying stuff like that make them want to sabotage your food?

@twiigss yeah I think the covid era so many were on unemployment that they didn’t want to go back to work or they took jobs that paid more and the businesses are scraping for decent cooks these days. I saw that at a local IHOP that we used to like going to. I won’t go back again after the last time. I walked out with no food being brought to me after the others got their food. The waiter told me that they were out of salad. But as I was sitting in the car the boy overheard the waiter and the cook having a heated discussion and the cook asked him why he lied to me. Apparently they did have salad. He looked like a dippy flake anyway.

@cherokeepatti yeah they just don't care. Had a younger girl at the McDonald's bring us our tray and proceeds to tilt it which made the drink on the tray spill everywhere. She wasn't even paying attention to what she was doing.

@twiigss I don’t eat at fast food restaurants at all and very picky about others. I do like a bowl of coconut chicken soup. Last time someone got takeout at one they had put sour soup in the bag instead of coconut chicken soup.. It was so bad that hogs wouldn’t have eaten it. So no more carry outs and it was several miles back there so I didn’t ask for another one.
