Why would the server get mad? They aren't the ones making bad food.
The server might think that its going to get taken out of their tip and they might go scream at the kitchen staff. The thing is, unless if its a blatant error on the kitchen's fault (ex. overcooking something, overseasoning it, etc), they're forced into whatever shitty decisions that the kitchen manager/executive chef/whatever decided to vomit onto the menu.
Line cooks don't create the food to their own liking, they simply replicate whatever their boss tells them to. Its not their fault if the combination of flavors is absolutely horrible.
For example, I had probably the worst meal of recent memory with Danzor a couple days ago. I got a Chicken Codron Bleu (named Chicken Gordon Blue on the menu, mind you) on the menu. Its not the kitchen's fault that the ham was like eating a salt lick, nor was it their fault that both the sandwich and the chili were lukewarm when they came to the table, it was a combination of buying shitty ingredients and the laziness of said server.
Cooking is a hard job and having some server bitch at you for problems that are entirely out of your control is one of the most aggravating things that can happen. I have no idea how many times I wanted to sock a server in the jaw because they bitched about a soup being cold because I put it in the window when all the other food came up on the ticket that
THEY put in, only to come and pick it up 15-20 minutes after the food was done and rotting, waiting for them to pick it up.
