why do that when you can do like AV or PJ and make a totally irrelevant insult and feel like you're not just out of the hole, but you're 100 ft on top?

Never happened where I worked. Maybe you should have taken more pride in your work

You shouldn't assume things about people.
Just because I worked as a cook at TGI Fridays and saw a guy put his penis on a burger bun before sending it out on a recook doesn't me I condoned it.

Keep sending your food back. You get what you deserve.

I once saw a regional manager step on a steak and send it out. If you are dumb enough to send your food back its on you.

the first reply is someone making the logical statement of not waiting until the last minute. If that's the kiddie pool, you don't even belong in the water at all.

I spent plenty of time waiting tables in my life. It's a myth

I've spent 3 and half years working in the kitchen. No myth. Looking back on it, I probably should have done more to stop it or not have condoned what was happening, but I was young and dumb and got a good laugh out of watching other cooks engage in shenanigans.

Another true story from the past, this one also deals with procrastination. I'm a cook on the line with 3-4 others on a Sunday night at Appleby's in 1995. The particular Appleby's I worked at closed at midnight on Sundays. The servers knew that they had to get their personal/discounted meals ordered before a certain time period (I think it was 11:00 or one hour before closing, but I'm going off of memory from 18 years ago, so some of the details are sketchy). Anyways, this one particular night, a server rings in his personal meal at 11:30... a Bourbon St. steak (~10-12 minute cook time on the grill). This guy was notorious for pulling this type of stunt... ordering late meals for himself. Line cooks and managers had all made it clear not only to him but to others that had abused the rule to not do it. Anyways, this guy pops his order in on one of the registers on the floor and shows up to the back of the house about 5 minutes later. The lead line cook tells him again about making orders to late in the evening. The guy follows back with an just one more time or whatever, just begging to get his steak cooked. I'm standing there listening to this back and forth exchange while I'm trying to close my area down. Meanwhile, to the side of me, I notice that the grill cook is or had just sprayed Easy-Off on the grill grates and was in the process of cleaning his area down, as well. Finally, the lead line cook (probably already aware by now that the grill was in the process of being cleaned) ends the back and forth with the server and tells he'll cook it. He turns around, reaches in the grill cook's drawer to get a Bourbon St steak out of his semi-closed down area.

Cont.

The grill cook must have said something to the lead line cook or pointed at the grill that was covered in hot Easy-Off. All I hear after that is, "F*&k it!"... then all I hear is the sound of a steak hissing as it hits the grill.

Slightly before midnight, the steak is ready and the server comes back in the kitchen to get his order. He takes the plate outside to one of the tables that the servers gravitate around as they are about to leave or where they come visit each other when they are not working. Anyways, the server manages to close down his area and eat his meal. This is probably past 12:30 or so when he comes back to the kitchen with an empty, clean plate. All the cooks (including myself) just looked at each other. The lead line cook broke the ice and asked my man, "How was it?". I swear, and I can see the brightness and sincerity in his face as he replied back, "It was the best steak I ever had..." I don't have any idea how any of us were able to hold a straight face after that, but I say all of that to say 2 things:

1. Don't procrastinate
2. Be careful about sending food back

Then the idiot cooks should get it right

Nobody is perfect.
The job, while pays well, sucks.
In the middle of a rush most are doing there best to send it out right the first time. Frustration is misplaced and taken out on customers.

Its not right. It shouldn't happen. The only thing that should change is......... you shouldn't send your food back.

Ask for a refund. Get a free meal card for next time. But for the love of all things Holy, don't send your food back.
