Answer 4

Once at Texas Roadhouse my husband ordered his steak medium rare and it came out very clearly really well done.  When the waiter came around and asked how things were he pointed this out to her, and she verified that it was ordered m. rare, and so he got a new one and his meal for free. That reminds me, I hate it when restaurants send the food out with someone other than the person who took your order, (Applebees and Texas Roadhouse do this) because they have no idea who ordered what and you can't interact with them about anything you ordered, or is missing. I  much prefer it when the same person who took your order is the one who delivers the food.

one time like 20 of us went to bennigans and the service was horrible! my friend called and complained, not wanting anything in return just wanted to let them know how upset we were.. we each got full meals.. appetizers, meal, and dessert plus a drink.. all free.. didnt matter what we got! it was awesome! didnt change my mind about eating there though..  but it was fantastic

Answer 6

You people should seriously be ashamed of yourselves. It is so unbelieveably tacky to expect free reimbursements when you go out to eat. It is one thing to complain about what you ordered and another to "work the bill," which 95%  you are so proud of doing.

I work at a chain restaurant. Just so you know, you may think you are getting such a deal by getting all these free vouchers, but we don't forget the faces of stingy trash. You will never get good service and we do not need your patronage. Believe it or not, we get plenty of happy, well tipping customers.

Next time you try to work your bill at a restaurant, look around. Chances are the entire staff is watching at you and laughing at your pitiful, low class attempt at free merchandise.

Answer 22

I got an entire meal free, but I didn't complain, the waitress spilled sauce all over my jacket. But hey I was happy.

Answer 23

I don't generally complain, though I wont go back if the service is poor, nor will I buy in the first place if the food areas are dirty.

Of the times where I have complained, it has only been a polite conversation where I've told the checkout chick (or guy) that something doesn't taste right - they generally replace it with another option, and life goes on.

I don't want vouchers or 'freebies', just good service from the start. Everyone has an off day, so I am also tolerant.

I did write to Chupa Chups once and eloquently explain with an amusing array of pictures and diagrams that their lollipop would drag air in through the stick resulting in a less than ideal sucking experience. I stated very clearly that I was not wanting to get anything at all for free in return, just that I wanted to offer some suggestions for their R&D team. I took pictures of our lab equipment, probes and so forth, attached to the lollipop to 'prove' that I wasn't making this stuff up, that it was a genuine pointless letter designed only to make them laugh. It did the trick apparently. Went all the way to the top, I received some very funny letters in response from their directors, as well as a few plastic bins of their product. :-)

Answer 24

I never send food back nor would I accept replacement food.  I don't want to eat spit.  I just leave and refuse to pay or pay for what I have eaten then leave never to return.

Answer 25

my dad complained about a hotel after being moved to 3 different rooms and everyone was disgracefull.

We got loads of vouchers for the restauraunt.
