I had dinner at a restaurant, and ordered the same thing that I always order there. This time when it came out, it was nearly inedible. It had clearly been reheated from earlier in the day, and as a result it was horribly leathery. It then appeared as though the cooks had doubled the normal amount of spices to cover up the fact that the food was old.
It actually made me so sick to my stomach, I completely lost my appetite.
I didn't know a polite way to send it back, though, so I just left it on my plate, but then the waiter acted very put-out that I hadn't eaten it.
So is there a polite, graceful way to send back bad food?
