Do you just eat it or send it back?

My husband is a very experienced chef. Simply put: you should NOT send it back. What you should do, is order something else, or ask for another plate. Never, NEVER talk down to the help. Even if they don't spit in your food or do something else, they could still just keep making your dinner service miserable by ignoring you, etc. My husband always cringes when one of our family members or friends sends food back. Unfortunately, you'd like to think that all restaurants have stellar service, clean adequately, and know health codes. Unfortunately, that is not the case in today's society.

Kathy, I see your point, but I just think if I'm paying for something, I should get what I asked for. I think if someone is that ruthless to spit in someones food, or ignore a paying customer that just shows what kind person he/she is. I personally really don't think there's any excuse for it.

Neither do I; however, what I am saying is that when people send food back, they are taking a major risk. It's unfortunate that you can't be totally sure at all times when you send something back that you're going to get what you paid for, sadly, that's the case in many restaurants today.
