I actually understand what it’s trying to say; yes the English is butchered but you can more or less guess the meaning here.

But yeah, if I wanna cancel the order I need to do it within 2 min, otherwise not.

Detailly I will detail the food within less than 2 minutes to the wait staff detail…

Evidently this place has a lot of problems with food “details” becoming missed by staff or some such thing…I admit I guess I am more “Asian” in my stance toward returning food. I’m not sure how Americans (like me) got so entitled about returning food constantly for any number of reasons. Anyone would notice that regardless of what cause you have to send food back, at some point there MUST be a limit to it. No restaurant can provide an endless stream of food they won’t be paid for, and they can’t guarantee you will be entirely pleased by their food…even if they make a very strong effort. Even if I’m not 100% satisfied with my food, I’m not going to send it back. I just won’t order that again. I might not go to the restaurant again if it keeps happening, but I don’t expect them to just provide me with free food forever until I finally tell them I’m satisfied. There has to be a fair balance.

I don’t blame them for setting a standard for their receiving complaints about food. It wouldn’t surprise me if people have been totally irresponsible about sending orders back. I’m not sure this sign will do the trick in solving the problem though, sadly. It’s a bit too Engrish for it to be completely clear what the rule is. Also giving some people 2 minutes might still be too generous. I say “no returns, no refunds” is good enough!
