Everyone needs to watch the movie “Waiting”. Another tip (no pun intended), Never, ever send your food back and say it’s not cooked right...

25 years experiance in food and beverage tells me thats hogwash. Items are sent back all the time for many reasons. This generaly upsets no one. However if you send it back 3 or 4 times....
