Look at the source.

I hope you remain so.

I have only encountered one server that was unwilling to bend to what she
brought out to our table and what we ordered. Since SWMBO has a few
food-based allergies that could end up with the business end of an EPI pen
in her leg, she is VERY specific as to what she orders. Prefacing this
reasoning during the order phase has mostly helped prevent any
misunderstandings during delivery. The one time a waitress chose to go off
on her a simple, "Get your manager. Now." was enough. We weren't the first
table that night but we were her last.
