Do u dont wanna A restaurant tried to pull a switch-a-roo on the type of meat I was served.
So a group of us went to a local popular American chain steakhouse restaurant and all ordered different dishes. I ordered a filet, when my food arrived, I thought the steak looked more like a sirloin than a filet.
Upon taking my first bite it was chewy and not buttery like a filet. It was supposed to be an 8oz filet, it was more like 12oz sirloin, 2nd bite confirmed it was definitely not a filet.
I must’ve been visibly upset because the manager walked over and asked if everything was ok, to which I questioned the cut. She said it was a filet (but I think she went based on the toppings that are only offered on the filet). I said hmm ok, I guess.
She offered to switch it if I was not happy, I said it was fine, however, she insisted, so I accepted.. The second steak was a filet, appearance, taste and texture.. only the cook made it EXTRA peppery for me.. jokes on them I appreciated the extra pepper :)

Not outback but Texas Roadhouse. They have these table tablets for you to pay at the table. Well our bill was like 14$ for 30 ounce prime, a steak and rice dish with two apps and a few drinks. Obviously it was wrong and being in the industry my wife and I had to say something.
The server said it was probably the bill from the table before us. Well they comped half our meal anyways. We left a generous tip and they offered us a job lol.
It was good dinner.
