The Foresters Arms, Brockenhurst

Why do people ask questions they don't want to know the answers to? When I was last in the Foresters I ordered good old fashioned pub grub namely ham egg and chips. A dish you would think almost impossible to spoil. Well you can if the eggs are solid and you double fry the chips left over from lunchtime. I'm not a complainer but when i was paying the bill I was asked 'did I enjoy the meal?' so I said was the question a mere formality or did they really want to know? Yes they did so I told them. Response complete denial. Apparently I should have specified I wanted my eggs molten and chips were perfect. Why do they bother to ask?
