>Not thanking the chef after your meal
It's the least you can do to show appreciation for the effort and love that went into cooking your meal.

My local restaurant has a tip jar for the chefs and I always contribute on top of the tip for the waiter

I remember the first time I experienced the divine construct that is the Big Mac. The starch, the protein, the vegetables, the condiments, all in perfect symmetrical balance with each other. Bite after voluptuous bite I questioned how I had managed to come as far in life as I had up until that very moment.

I couldn't help myself, I had long since begun to cry at the overwhelming emotions I was experiencing from this ordeal. I rolled myself over to the front of the store, before going around the counter into the kitchen. The employees seemed shocked to see me at first, but I quickly eased their apprehension when I asked to shake each and every one of their hands, tears still glistening on my cheeks. Every hand I took into my own, I leaned forward and kissed before thanking the individual for doing the Lord's bidding on Earth.

There is a God, and He does love us. The Big Mac will forever be proof of this for me.

This is why I spit in all my meals, IF they thank me I apologize. There's no need to explain to them why I'm apologizing, though.

My father would only eat rare beef. And, from him, I learned a great ordering technique.

When the waiter/waitress asked him how he would like his steak cooked, he would say, "I would like my steak cooked...", and then pause. He wouldn't say anything until the server stopped writing, and looked at him. Once dad had, and held, eye contact, he would grin, and say, with the slightest of a nod from his head, "rare", while looking the server straight in the eyes.

And, after the meal, he would make the effort to thank the waiter/waitress for insuring that his meal was prepared to his liking, (often, personally giving a few extra bucks to the person, as tip addendum). And, he would ask our server to pass along his thanks to the entire kitchen staff.

With this method, it was very seldom that he was ever put in the position of sending his order back.

Even when, rarely, his order was overcooked, our server seemed to always be at our table, asking if his steak was cooked to his liking. Again, if he paused, looked at his steak, and cocked his head just a bit to the side, the server was always more than happy to bring him another steak, properly cooked.

I saw this method work in restaurants that we frequented, and restaurants in which we were first timers. And, I've adopted this method. For some reason, it works.

Yoroshiku,
Andy

I do this with my mexican food truck because I'm an picky white boy in a majority mexican neighborhood who just wants al pastor and cheese only on my quesadilla or I can't eat it. I look them right in the eyes and if there's even a hint they don't grasp English enough or aren't paying attention I will pause and repeat it in Spanish (al pastor y queso SOLAMENTE!) sternly and then throw them a dollar or two when they get it right on. Now they pretty much know me and not only do they not fuck it up but they pack on the al pastor and cheese just for me and will offer me a free drink if it's busy.

I've done this before but it doesn't yield any benefit.
I have to stop going to what I thought would be a favorite restaurant of mine when I did this. Turns out finding a decent chef in this city isn't as easy at it sounds. All the good ones are barbie smokers in their 40's and 50's or so.
