‘He started to yell he doesn’t need money’: Customer tries to return a 2/3 eaten dish as “inedible,” refuses a refund on principle, then comes back a week later to quietly ask for the money he refused

Trying to return a dish is not a pleasant act for most people, but some people just get a kick from arguing with customer service, any and all kinds. But this one act takes the cake, or more specifically, has the cake and eats it too, because marching back in with a third of the box and a speech about standards turns the whole thing into performance art. A small local chain owner covers a shift, serves the food, and then gets told over the phone that the boneless are burned beyond saving, all while remembering exactly what left the kitchen.

From there it turns into the usual hungry theater. Customer walks in with a container that looks empty in spirit if not in fact, swears only one tragic piece was tasted, then launches into a monologue about how the girlfriend could not eat a single bite. The owner points at the obvious math on the plate and suddenly the story gets shaky. Hard to sell the idea that nobody could touch the food when most of it is clearly already digested.
