yeah, feels wrong to waste food just because its not what i had ordered.

It all depends to be honest I'm paying money for the food and I want the food to be done correctly. I receive a burger and it's ice cold in the center or the fries aren't done I'll send it back, however if it's just cold because it's been clear that it sat out for a little bit or they put the wrong ingredients on it I'll suck it up and eat.

Being said, If I receive something that I didn't order in replacement of something I did order I'm going to mention it. If the restaurant decides to throw it out that's not me wasting food that's the restaurant wasting food they could very easily have offered to give it any discount or gave it away. I refuse to have the blame of the kitchen be put on the consumer, the food wouldn't have been wasted in the first place if the order was correct and there are many outcomes that the business can do that would prevent the food from being wasted before and after its cooked.

yeah, it really depends on how it happens.

if i receive some other dish that also pleases me, im not sending it back cause i dont want it to go to waste. and if its cheaper than what i had ordered, im paying the price of what i got, at most. If what I receive is shit food, i really dont mind sending it back and it going in the trash or whatever. I believe the restaurant that takes a plate that someone has already taken a bite of and reserves it to someone else at a discount is infringing some sanitary law... at least where i live.

I was meaning offering it to the table at a discount, yeah if it's already been eaten from it should not be given to another table, if it hadn't been eaten from then that's a little different but yet definitely if it's been eaten from no way.
