I ordered eggs benedict and I asked the waiter if I could get the
eggs done medium because I hate runny eggs, but benedict
most often comes runny as the default. He said there was no
problem, but when he brought them, they were very runny; the
white was not completely congealed and as the yolk all runs
onto the plate, much of the flavour is lost. I tried to get the
waiter's attention, but he didn't look in my direction and he
never came over to ask if everything was alright. By the time I
flagged him down we had finished and wanted the bill. I had not
finished the first egg or touched the second one. I asked him to
take the plate away. He came back with the manager who said
that I would be charged for the eggs because that's the way they
came and I could either get them again or pay the full price, but
regardless, I was going to pay for the eggs. I told the manager
that I had asked for medium and that I couldn't get the waiter to
come over, but he said, "regardless, you're paying for the bill." I
told him I thought it was unconscionably rude and he just said,
"okay, goodbye."
