I'm about as cheap as they come. If I spend money on something, I'm going to get my moneys worth. With that being said, if you don't like something, you don't like something. I'm not going to sit there and force myself to eat something just because I paid for it.

If it was a special request (i.e., not on the menu), then there's nothing you can really do about it. You can't expect someone to make something that they don't have on their menu. However, if I ordered something that was on their menu, then I would simple comment "I don't care for this... can I please try something else?"

Yeah, I blamed myself for the whole occurrence. Still feel retarded.

If its meat, and is completely butchered to how I ordered it. Well done versus Rare or something I will send it back. If they dont take stuff back I will eat it and leave minimal tip (I always feel bad since the waiter had no part). If it is something I thought I would like and didnt, I will eat enough to get a meal in me, but not finish it. Then again, if Im paying for food at a restaurant, Im not ordering something I know Im not gonna like.

If my wife ever did that, I wouldn't let her eat for a week. Time to grow the F up.
