i complained to a pub about their truly shocking service, and they offered us a free meal. i have replied to say thank you very much but we were after an apology not free stuff. however, as they are offering, they can donate the cost of 3 main courses and 3 drinks to charity, say £30-40.
what's the betting they come back and say "fuck you, our pre-made frozen meals cost us 50p each, so we don't want to do that" ...

neither of the unfortunate bar staff spoke a word of english and we had to point at the drinks. they couldn't understand the food menu, nor could they find the items on the till. when they did enter them, they kept pressing cancel and then having to ask us to order all over again - it took 25 mins to order 1 starter and chips and 2 pies. the bill seemed a bit top heavy, but i'd lost the will to live by then. i felt v sorry for the staff as not one senior or experienced team member was anywhere in sight.
when the food finally came, i got 2 identical starters and no chips, which explained the higher bill, and my friend got the wrong pie, and had to wait 20 mins for a new one. our second round of drinks never came. the final straw was on the way out, when the manageress suddenly appeared, and told me i couldn't leave because i'd only paid for one starter.... i am normally v polite, but that was just too much!

just that a main meal and a drink for a tenner is pretty good value. Assuming it's a reasonable meal obviously.

i didn't want to take the piss. but i think they should give the money to charity.
i also know they won't.

I would rather be buggered by an angry bear than eat that again.
