If you order food from a restaurant, how much can they mess up the order before you sent it back?

I stopped at a Mexican place between clients and an employee came out saying "Hey, we gave you someone else's burrito. Here's the right one."
"Okay, but this one is really good!"
"Keep it!"

Back in Mesa people always talked up Ned's Crazy Subs. I went once and they intentionally and maliciously wrapped a pickle wedge with my sandwich.

The parts of my sandwich not soaked with pickle juice were good, but the rest was ruined.

Now, people who don't like me claim that pickles are great and wonderful just because they know it bothers me.

Have we established that I need to find new people?

It was years before I returned to Ned's Crazy Subs, but I kept telling them to hold the pickle.
They kept telling me to just remove it.
They finally stopped saying the same thing over and over expecting a different result and I had a pickle wedge wrapped with my sandwich with pickle juice soaked into my bread.

I haven't been back for years and I'm never going back.

However, if you give me something for free, I won't be picky.

Here's the thing: The Alaskans have been homeless.

They didn't mind it as much as I expect?
