Do you tell your waiter/waitress the honest answer when the ask whether you have enjoyed the meal?

I was told not to a couple of times when I think the food are basically not edible.(validated by the whole table)

If the food is not edible and it was made incorrectly, I ask politely for a replacement. But I’ve never had that happen in SF Bay. How picky are you?

I have waiters who told me the portion is for entree and got served a plate that is not enough to feed an 8 yr old. Another scenario is a side dish that is wayyyyy too salty. (Latter case validated by a few people who ate with me, all are used to heavy spices)

Wouldn’t call myself picky by having a problem in either of the case.

So even if one simply don’t like the taste, the correct answer is to be polite and not be honest? (They why ask?)

No - I let them know I didn’t like it and I order something else. I also usually expect to still pay for it though since I ordered and didn’t want it. This rarely actually happens to me, but usually server / restaurant are really understanding and don’t charge for a dish someone doesn’t like

Less than a year before I can retire and not sure I can make it. The stress at home, work and with the aches and pains of my 54 year old body are taking their toll. I wake up every weekday and dread the coming 14 hour day. I live for the bliss of two days off on the weekend when I can attempt to just ignore everything until Monday morning.
