To think she could have scraped it off?

[ChewbaccasMate]

Hello. I'm willing to be told I'm unreasonable but....
We had a celebration and paid for a meal for around 20 family members. It was pre order menu. One guest ordered a meal plain ie no sauce. This order wasn't communicated as I had that many people to sort I forgot to tell the restaurant. It comes to meal and she refused to eat it and wouldn't scrape the sauce off and instead ordered another meal at a cost of 11 quid to us. Aibu to think just scrape the bloody sauce off and eat it without causing a scene?

I would have, just to make sure. But then I'm a control freak
Especially if I knew that I had specifically asked for something out of the norm.

I'm very much of the opinion that if someone else is paying for your meal, it's your responsibility to sort out any caveats. But possibly that's just me.

If it was going to ruin my meal (meals out should be a treat after all) I'd have....

Spoken to waiter, asked if there was any chance of a swap. (Seems they would've been happy, since they did anyway)

Or paid separately for another meal. £11 won't break anyone's bank will it? But her meal effectively cost op £22, which takes the piss.

So yeah, YABU

YABU! It was your mistake
