"Why is our food cold 30 minutes after receiving it?"

[Amajean]

That is just damn ridiculous! I only complain if it's immediately after I receive my food, I mean like 1-5 minutes have passed. And that's only ever been DQ at the mall- oddly enough.

In this household we obey the law of thermodynamics!

"The hell you do. Get back in the box."

Ah, Mac Hall...

Personally, I would have gone with, "Because of the laws of thermodynamics."

In this household we obey the law of thermodynamics!

"Because we don't cook it with an acetylene torch, and serve it to you with asbestos silverware."

They were looking for the meals to be comped. Then they'd have taken them home and warmed them up.

I agree completely!

[lordlundar]

Me: They’ve just left their food unattended. I bet you they complain.

So when did you collect?

[customersruinmylife]

What's strange though is that while they were clearly intentionally wasting time before finally sitting down to eat, they didn't ask for the meals to be comped; they asked for them to be replaced. What would they have gained from that? Unless of course they asked for them to be comped after they got the replacement meals.

That's what I thought. I didn't sense a scam. I just sensed stupidity.

Also, they had already paid so we didn't lose out on anything

[Soulstealer]

I notice that you didn't mention them paying.

In UK pubs you pay when you order.

[Argabarga]

That's, like, one of those questions that if you have to ask.... you've already lost the game.

[Mr Hero]

My Scammy Senses are tingling! I read this story and suspected what others have already posted. No one is that stupid to believe they actually expected warm food after the fact.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Basic Common Sense 101, which far too many people have flunked.

You're being too generous with their academics. They flunked Remedial Common Sense.

[emax4]

They could have just, you know, lit up again and used the heat from the cigarette to warm up their food...

[Raveni]

They ate the meals and stormed out about 30 minutes later.
