what I described in my original post is not consider a stupid advice. you and everybody who had no idea should probably know and/or do some research on your right as a paying customer at a restaurant. it's also not an advice that came out of my ass or i dug up on, my buddy who graduated from criminology told me about it. something to do with the charter of rights. most services or products where you pay after receiving it, you are in every control and right to not pay for it if you're not satisfied because there is no binding contract between you and seller that you must pay. phone bill, rent, etc. is where you must pay because you signed a contract/agreement.

if you find anything (bug, hair, etc.) in your food, it's better leaving than having the chef make you a new one. personally, i would not give food safety and hygiene a second chance.

the OP described that his food was served cold and had every right in his position to not pay for the food, which goes accurately to what i described and advised. in this case, i would give the chef a second chance to make a new one and if repeat, then i would just tell the waiter/waitress goodbye.

to everybody else, yes, at the end of your meal, you can find any excuse with your food and just leave the restaurant. only down side is, you will not be allowed at that restaurant again (or any other, if it's a franchise) and you will create a big scene unless you throw a dead fly on your plate at the end of your meal because no waiter/waitress/manager would want a big scene about a bug in their food, they rather let you go in silence.

that is the most absurd shit i have heard all year.

what you just said are:

a) that you have very little to no morals or decency.

b) most services or products where you pay after receiving it is called a transaction of goods. you exchange a product for another (this case, money for food) thats why there is a receipt. that itself is essentially a contract.

c) and you watch too much tv. most establishments won't ever even give that a thought. there is just too much to lose over a dish that has to be remade.

man, i would love to see a contract that needs to be written up for every transaction ever made.

wtf happened to common sense?
