Fast food brands are falling over themselves to spotlight protein, even when the results are cups of meat you'd serve to a child or prisoner.

[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

      They taste like reconstituted jerky. Somehow both dripping wet and dry at the same time.

      No.

      I can’t eat chicken, so I was excited to try beef nuggets.

      It was awful. I regretted every bite. It’s rare for me to turn my nose up at food, but I was tempted to try to see if I could return it.

      Since that’s a terrible thing to do, I sucked it up and ate the stuff. Never again.

          I wanted to try this and decided I didn’t like it isn’t a great reason to ask for a refund from the workers. I should have used their corporate number to explain what a terrible choice the food was. The worked already feel exploited and won’t send the feedback I desire.

            The workers don’t care though, unless it is really busy. You’re not eating into their paycheck or inconveniencing them any more than anyone else waiting in line at the register.

            I agree to, returning because you didn’t like it is a terrible thing to do.

            But that is different from returning it because it is actually gross.

              Having been on the other side of the counter, it depends. Some people get really upset and defensive as if they have ownership of the brand and this will personally lead them to ruin. Others are like you suggest. I can be a bit of a jerk and don’t ask for refunds or replacements unless the order is wrong or the food has something wrong with it.

              In my head, it was my fault for not understanding what the menu item actually was, so if I didn’t like it then that was on me. The people to complain to are the ones on the receipt who actually solicit feedback.
