I had a bar and lounge evaluation declined once. I was supposed to arrive an hour and a half before the kitchen closed and order some food at the bar, and their website didn't list when the kitchen closed, just when the bar closed (midnight). So I go an hour and a half before midnight and I'm told by the manager the kitchen's closed. I figured I could try doing the rest of the evaluation anyway and see if I get paid, and get a table. While there I'm told that last call is at 11:15 and I hadn't been to the bar yet (and I have to pay cash at the bar) so I jump up and try to order something only for the manager to be there and insist on charging the drinks at the bar to my table.
It was kind of out of my hands (the bar did not give me enough information on their website and my instructions said not to call them) but I also was pretty much unable to do everything they wanted me to do as part of the report. I wish they'd have reimbursed me but, eh, c'est la vie.

really, you couldn't call? a typical customer might call to see what time the kitchen closed...i wonder what their reasoning was.

So when I called and he said they were out and offered me a larger size for less than the medium I had to think on the spot and just order because otherwise it would be a flake.

There are probably a half dozen more where I caught my own mistakes and redid the shops so as not to risk the rejected reports.
