Me and SO went to a decent but not too fancy restaurant that had really good reviews, however the food was so bad that when the waiter asked if we enjoyed our meal we told them it wasn’t quite as expected. We have never given negative feedback in a restaurant before and we aren’t too picky eaters either, as we follow a diet and don’t expect restaurant to put much effort into it. I feel kinda ashamed even though I know honesty should be appreciated, I’m sure they tried their best, but in this case a microwaved ready meal would’ve been a better choice. We didn’t ask for discount but they gave it anyways. Phew what a stressful day!
The awkwardness is the worst. I’ve even had a manager like verbally pressuring me to give feedback, and all I’m thinking is “This is so unpleasant, I just want this conversation to end so I can leave. I don’t care about how much the bill is.”
