Had a customer tell me my "plating looked like a kindergartner's art project" last Friday

Man honestly if someone told me that I'd probably just shrug and say "well at least it's edible" lol. Gotta love customers who think they're the next Gordon Ramsay over a plate of scrambled eggs or whatever.

Nah see I gotta push back a bit here @ray363. I get that people can be ridiculous about their eggs or whatever, but I think there's something to be said for not settling for crap service or food. Like yeah, maybe you don't need to be Gordon Ramsay to complain, but if I paid for something and it's barely edible, I'm not gonna just shrug it off. Thats how places get away with serving garbage and charging top dollar. It's not about being a food critic, it's about having basic standards. And honestly, the whole "at least it's edible" attitude lets businesses slide when they should be doing better. There's a middle ground between sending it back three times and just accepting cold scrambled eggs that taste like nothing.

Honestly I've seen so many people send back food that was totally fine just because they're having a bad day or want to feel important. Ninety percent of the time those cold scrambled eggs are actually fine, you're just mad about something else.
