After that, I vowed to smile at the wait staff and do my complaining AFTER I ate my meal, unless it was so bad and I didn't plan on eating the rest of it. lol
Several years ago, when I still ate meat, I ordered grilled chicken breast at Bob Evans on 466. It was extremely dry, thin and stiff as a board. Well, what made it worse is that I was with someone who was a non-stop talker. I never even said a word about it to my friend because I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I just ate my meal.

When I got home and had time to think about it, I decided to call the restaurant and tell the manager. He was very nice and offered to give me and my friend a free meal. It was a generous offer but to take advantage of it I would have had to tell him before ordering. I therefore assumed he would then notify the wait staff.

I mentioned it to my friend and we decided not to ever go back because: 1) We wondered what they might do to the food and 2) We would feel like freeloaders.
