When it's not worth complaining

I was taken out to a Fathers' Day lunch at Park Town. Opted for a 200g fillet steak. Probably worst fillet steak I've ever eaten. Burnt on the outside but medium rare inside as I ordered. But it tasted off and even the runny and insipid pepper sauce didn't make things better. I didn't want to complain at the table and embarrass my children so had a quiet word with the lady in charge. We've all had bad steaks but the reason for me posting this is that she didn't even care and dismissed my complaint as if it didn't matter. I'm sure that the complaint never reached the kitchen staff and therefore things like this will happen again. Clearly, next time, if we want a decent steak, we will have to go to a proper steak house!
