What's your policy?
I've been out on a few dates with a girl and twice she's had to send back food. Once she was drinking beer from a glass that was clearly still soapy or something (the beer tasted awful) and the second time she sent back Thai food because it was too spicy for her to eat. Both legit complaints (beer more-so than thai, but she really wasn't enjoying it) but you could tell she really hated to do it.
On the other hand, my dad loves to send stuff back. He's not trying to be a dick and is a great tipper, but he believes he should get what he paid for, so if something is wrong he's happy to send it back. He loves French Onion soup and I don't think anyone has ever gotten it right first try

You have the right to send it back, especially when it's too hot or dirty.
As it is, you're paying a lot more than it takes to make the food in the first place.

Unless it's absolutely inedible or it's the wrong order entirely. Never f*** with people who handle your food.

One my exs sent back her meal (it was a big salad) because she didnt like the dressing that she CHOSE to have on it. This completly baffled me that she thought this was acceptable x

Unless it's absolutely inedible or it's the wrong order entirely. Never f*** with people who handle your food. Pretty much this. Hmm, still, the only cases I remember of me sending back food is when I realized that the rice had went bad. If you don't smell it, you'd definitely know it when you taste it. |

I rarely send stuff back.
The exception being if the food is way under or way-over cooked... and I will eat meat rather blue so if it's too under for me it hasn't been cooked.

I don't send something back unless it's not cooked properly - or in one case, the restaurant insisting a filet mignon needs a 3oz lump of fat on it  I had to send that back twice. I think the only time I sent an under-cooked steak back was because it was actually frozen in the middle. I complimented them on trying to make it "extra rare" but that's even too much for me  |

As someone who works in the food industry, I HATE when people bring back food for stupid reasons, i.e. they didn't like the sauce.
As a customer, the only time I'll return a food item, is if it's clearly something I didn't order, or if it's under-cooked.
If they still put in something that I asked them to take out, no biggie. I just take it out, if possible.

I've never done it myself (unless it's the wrong order but I don't really count that as I didn't really get my meal in the first place). Not that I'm against it, I just never considered it. I guess I just can't be bothered with extra wait (while everyone else's meal either gets cold or they're done by the time my meal arrives) on top of the bad food, or perhaps I haven't been to bad enough places. Then again, I usually go to the same places so I'm unlikely to have a bad surprise.

only time I ever send food back would be if it were undercooked (never happened to me), it wasn't what I ordered or they put something on it I can't eat after I'd told them to hold it (e.g. fast food restaurants not holding the onions on a burger when I'm allergic-- though it is funny when you tell them you're allergic and they start freaking out).

Something has to be ridiculously wrong. Like I ordered a burger medium well and it's completely undercooked. Or they put something I'm allergic to on the order by mistake. Other than that, I am really easy to deal with in restaurant type situations.

AH! This is like my biggest pet peeve with a friend of mine. She will eat cold ass fries instead of returning food. If my food isn't fresh, I return it, most people don't get offended if you're not a Dick about it.

If you have a legit complaint about your food, you shouldn't be fearful of the kitchen staff. Just be nice about it. |

I agree, it has to be undercooked or otherwise inedible for me to send it back. If it's something aesthetically wrong with the taste, like that's just the flavor of the food, I'll just eat it anyway, or find some way around it, because that's what I signed up for (and lucky for me I can do spicy foods). Although if there's a utensil or plate, or beer glass, that doesn't look clean, it'll likely be sent back for a new one.

I pretty much never send food back, I just feel like it's really awkward. And the idea of people ordering something, not liking the taste, then sending it back and wanting something else free is weird to me. If you try something new and don't like it, you're not entitled to get a second meal free.

I went to Red Robin a few weeks back where it took THREE attempts to get a standard menu item correct.

if it's not cooked enough or they put something on it I specifically asked them to leave out, you bet I'm sending it back.

I try to be as polite and sensible as possible, if I have to send back food. What pisses me off is when people eat the majority of what they order and try to get their money back for whatever reason.

I only send stuff back if I can't eat it. If I order a Big Mac without cheese, and it has cheese on it... I'll send it back, otherwise I can't eat it at all.
That, or if it's burnt or underdone. If it's the wrong ingredients, but nothing that gives me a bad reaction, I'll generally suck it up.

I had to send that back twice.
