You order a meal at a restaurant, and when it arrives, you realize it isn’t what you asked for. It includes something you don’t like and can’t eat. The server looks busy, and everyone else at the table has started eating. You feel awkward saying something, but I know the order is wrong.
Politely get the waiter's attention, request a new meal.
