My biggest problem with sending food back is that now you have to wait while everyone else at your table eats. Then when your food arrives, everyone needs to wait for you while you eat.

This usually isn't too much of an issue if your table has a lot of people because you can just chat and the length of time to eat a meal is higher since you all are talking. But when you're on a date, it's super annoying and awkward.

I once ate a steak that was cold because of this. The memory will haunt me forever.

At least it wasn't well done, was it?

Ah yes. Chewy boot leather. No it wasn't. It was medium. I still wonder if they pulled the meat out of the fridge and didn't give it a chance to warm through when searing it, but it didn't seem all that rare in the middle. Just... cold.
