[QUOTE="jstaylor62, post: 1687645, member: 6870"] I'm a very serious home cook, so when I eat out, I try very hard to manage my expectations. I know its difficult to have every item in a meal served hot at the same time, but its not impossible. For example, I make breakfast very frequently, so I expect my my toast to be fresh and hot. Jimmy's Egg tends to make up toast ahead of time and put it into a drawer to keep warm. I make a point to ask for fresh toast and not toast from the drawer. The Chuck House on Midwest Blvd tends to undercook their fries during the lunch rush. I know that the fry cook is probably just not letting the oil get up to temp again between batches of fries. So I specifically request that my fries be cooked completely. But fast food fries are my pet peeve. The picture of the fries on the menu shows a container overflowing with fries. If my fries dont match the picture, I ask for fries that match the picture on the menu. The first time I ate at Wing Stop on SW 104th and Western, I got a batch of french fries that were literally covered in salt. It was so much salt, that I could hold the fry by the end and scrape off a small pile of salt. I went up to the counter to ask for a batch of fries that were not covered with salt and the supervisor refused. I tried very calmy to explain my disatisfaction with the fries, but he was not swayed. That was 6-7 years ago and I have not been to a Wing Stop since. If something is horribly made or spoiled, then I have no problem at all sending it back. But if it simply does not taste the way I thought it read in the menu, then I just suck it up. [/QUOTE]
