…and they always put an egg on top of the burger for fucks sake.
To be fair, egg on a burger is pretty good
This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called "With an egg on top".
I'd be there weekly, so many things are just better with an egg on top.
No it fucking isn’t.
I've upvoted you both
Same. They're both perfectly valid opinions. If it's 4 in the afternoon and I want a burger before a night of hard drinking, keep your damn egg to yourself. If it's 4 in the morning after a night of hard drinking, a runny yolk on a greasy bacon breakfast burger is just what the doctor ordered. But for me hard fried or scrambled just don't feel right.
I admire your passion. How do you feel about peanut butter on a burger?
I tried one a couple years ago with an open mind.
I took two bites and yeah no. Couldn't eat it.
I told the server that I couldn't eat it, so she took my plate off the table and slapped the bill down in front of me, charging me for it without offering any alternatives while my lunch mates slowly enjoyed their good burgers and I got to sit there watching, hungry, and sixteen dollars lighter in the wallet. Worse, I was about to catch a plane, so I was fucked on getting any other food.
I got the rolled eyes treatment when I paid and didn't tip.
I'm not bitter about that experience. Not one bit.

Your order being fucked up or undercooked, or having an allergic reaction is a valid reason to have your meal comped, merely not liking the food is not a valid reason. It sucks you didn't like it, but it's no fault of the restaurant. That's what you ordered. It doesn't matter you only took two bites of it, all the restaurant can legally do with it is throw it in the trash, so it's still a loss for them.
Cool your jets there. I don't mind that I paid for it.
There was an aggressive, "well fuck you, pay me and get the fuck out then," demeanor from the server.
I never raised my voice, never asked for a comp. All I did was response, "I can't eat this," when she asked how everything was. That was it.
I would've paid AGAIN if she'd offered to let me order something else because I was so god damned hungry and knew there would be no food for many hours ahead.
But no. She grabbed that plate, stormed off, and slapped a check in front of me. The end.
Sorry i hurt your service industry feelings.
I NEVER send food back and I NEVER ask for a comp. Never have, never will.
But you want to be shitty to be about it, I'll pay for the food, and that's all I'm gonna pay for.
In a similar situation this past summer, I told the server I didn't care for the food and she immediately asked if I wanted something else. I politely declined and told her to charge me for the food, that it wasn't her fault, and tipped her somewhere in the 25% neighborhood.
These two incidents are the only two times I can recall not being able to eat what I was served. I have, however, been witness to a number of other people getting pretty vocal about wanting everything for free, including everybody at their table, claiming they didn't like the food they had consumed in its entirety. On that front, you and I are united, I'm sure.
Don't worry bout that other guy. I worked in the restaurant biz for 10 yrs and despite the popular narrative of spittin' in the food if you complain. we actually don't care if you send stuff back, or really about anything you do unless you're being a dick. So ignore ol bummer over there.
Anywho my first experience of a pb burger was on a dare. It was actually a hazing ritual for a club i used to belong to, and the "specialty" of the restaurant nearby I actually thought it was good! (So it kinda makes me sad you don't like it) The peanutbutter and mayo on the burg worked somehow. Not like "i want this forever" but "hmm yeah ok" kind of way.
I ended up leaving the club because they sucked but! Ill always know that pb can work. Sometimes. And be good! Mostly!
That’s pretentious but I could deal with it better than a fucking egg.
How is peanut butter on a burger “pretentious”?
Because he's some provincial jackass who thinks anything outside of his personal norm is an unjust and unfair imposition on his right to act as if his experiences are the only thing that dictate what reality is.
He's the same kind of circus clown that gets angry when you correct him on a factual matter, or on grammar, or if you criticize a popular movie he likes.
He and people like him are extremely self-centered, arrogant, know-it-all crybullies who think they are smart because they are adults. They are clearly not.
Yeah, honestly sounds like something you'd try when you have no shame. Not that I'm judging, just there's a certain low you have to sink to to be the first one to try that...
That's, just, like, you know, your opinion, man
It was messy, but I still loved it. Them my body spontaneously became allergic to eggs. A tragic loss to my taste buds, especially since a lot of the Asian foods I love like to include eggs (Ramen, fried rice, Omurice, Kimbap, oyakodon, etc etc).
