OT but... I had an argument with wait staff, then the manager, at a local restaurant I used to go to.
"Everything OK?"
"Well, no, not really. This chicken sandwich is... different than it used to be. It tastes different from 2 weeks ago, but the menu hasn't changed. Did you change the recipe?"
"No, nothing's changed. This is the same"
"No, really, it's changed."
Back and forth, slightly escalating - manager comes over.
Same dialog.
He comes back about 10 minutes later.
"The recipe hasn't changed at all. We just use different ingredients".
Well... it's... a bun, chicken patty, tomato, lettuce and mayo. The bun and chicken had changed. But not the recipe. But they didn't apologize for any misunderstanding or anything - quite irate that I was making a "big deal" out of it.
Back story was I'd been going there for about 2 years, 1-3x per month, getting the same thing. It's what I liked best there. Then it was changed. Except not. And it was bad. But there was nothing on the menu to indicate "new" on it. And I was 'wrong' for registering dissatisfaction with the new change that wasn't a change.
