text: returning food that was half way eaten? now, i work as a cashier, why in the world would a customer return back food 1/2 eaten and say it is bad? and then they want the money back. usually people take a bite, or a little piece but not the whole thing. please tell me the psychology on this? sometimes when eating food you take a bite and feel something isn't right...  so you eat a bit more.  so i guess it depends on what your eating really.  for example. i want out to a nice restaurant.  i ordered reef and beef.. my fave dish. it came out looking awesome.  the steak was awesome the sauces were awesome..  but the prawns were not that great.. tasted raw-ish and just not right.  i'm not a prawn eating expert but i know they were not right.  i tried one at the start of the meal in the middle of the meal and eat the rest at the end.. hopping it was just me.  maybe its the same with with people that eat half a meal..  they are trying to work out what it is that dosent taste so bad.. if its just them or if its really the meal.   by the way. i did pass on my congratulations for the steak and sauces..  but to check on the prawns as they really didn't taste good.  i was asked by the waitress at the time.. did you try the prawns at the beginning of the meal.. as you might have left them to get cold.. i said yes i tried them  at the beginning, middle and end..  it was indeed the prawns...  my partner had the same dish same feeling and we both went home after paying fully.  hopping for no repercussions.. if you know what i mean.
