What's protocol if a restaurant gives you 100% the wrong order for to-go (not realized until home)?

I am not burning literally an hour go pick up what we actually ordered. Should they just refund the full amount back to CC?

You eat what they gave you or drive back and get what you ordered.

Eat your food and learn to check your bags.

You call them. They'll decide what their version of 'making it right' is.

They should refund. It should be obvious to them they mixed up the orders. Next time check.

Why didn’t you check your things in the restaurant?

This has happened to me. They gave a free order of the missing item on my next order.

I feel like the fair and honest method would be to deduct what they gave us that we ate -- but it's all stuff we'd never order!

And the gal who gave me the gave me the bag is the gal I talked to on the phone and I signed the receipt and gave her $5 tip!

This is why you should DoorDash rather than pick up delivery.

They haven't answered the phone for over an hour, which creates more awkwardness. Oy vey.

Yes call them. Usually they will provide you a replacement. If you don’t want the replacement you might be SOL. It is super annoying but this is why I always check now after getting burned once or twice

Disagree. You can always do a chargeback on your credit card.

I would call them, and if you can't get someone on the phone, leave a message. Also, does the website list and email? I would email so you have a paper trail of what happened in case you decide to do a chargeback on your credit card.

If it was food I could eat, I might just ask for a 50% refund if it's a small place. But if not, I would expect a full refund. Though I guess refusing future orders from me would be their option.

Did you eat it?

Was it better than what you ordered?
