I ordered Chinese - sweet and sour pork - as Friday night treat and unfortunately what has just turned up is King Prawn. I hate King Prawns

We ordered food the other day and Little Miss JoeP's burger turned up - but the chips specified in the menu didn't.
We got a full credit for the price of the burger and fries and got to keep the burger. (This was through Deliveroo not direct with the restaurant.)
If they delivered the wrong thing, they should ideally get on their bikes and deliver the right thing as soon as possible, but at least give you some refund or voucher.

Before I moved into my new place, but the day I got my keys, my daughters and I went over to check it out. We decided to order Chinese and specified that they bring us chopsticks and napkins since the house was empty. They said they would but they didn't and the delivery guy was very pissed off because he had to go back to the restaurant and pick them up. He even yelled at us! Hey --it wasn't our fault!

I politely complained and they did bring the pork .. we gave them the prawns back. If they'd brought chicken by accident I'd have just kept it but I don't like king prawns

Many years ago, before I even knew Frank, I ordered pizza and the delivery guy couldn't find the building. There were several phone calls and when the pizza finally did arrive, after more than an hour, it was almost cold. I should have complained or at least refused to pay the full amount, but I was too shy back then.

Yeah I am bad at complaining .. had they not sent pretty much the one thing on the menu I knew I could not eat I would probably have just left it

We don't look at what they've brought until we've paid for it and they've gone. But having said that, we've never had a wrong order.

I've never had this problem because I never order food to be delivered. If we do have take-away, we always pick it up ourselves.

Not sure I'll be using that Chinese again though. The pork was not great

I had sweet and sour pork from a Chinese takeaway once but there wasn't any pork inside, just a smear of pork fat.

Yeah it was very fatty .. and far too much batter. The King Prawns looked a lot better quality but they were .. King Prawns.

Would you be OK with Queen Prawns? Republic Prawns?

Would they taste any different?

I would be cautious of Republic Prawns in case one of them is a dictator.

Does that mean it would turn the person that eats it into one?

No, you would become a virtual slave to prawn crackers.
