So like...if their dessert never came after their meal so they just dropped a couple of free wedge salads, that would make sense? It’s free right? They should just accept it and like it?

Some people are just not capable of being satisfied, I guess....

They offered something he didn’t want.

This is exactly how I feel. I had a similar experience at a ramen shop where my two friends were served while the server and kitchen forgot my order...twice. I finally got my order an hour after I had ordered it and requested that they make it right. Their solution? A free serving of alcohol.

Bear in mind that no one…

Yes, the server and the cooks screwed up, but they did offer something free in return. It might not have been what the letter writer wanted,

The only problem is they didn’t “offer” it, they simply served it without asking. I agree with your point otherwise, but that is a big difference.

“Instead of comping me for something I did order...I was given something I didn’t ask for at all” ^^^This^^^ Comp that bottle of wine or don’t even bother, you can ask if I’d like something extra for free (including a digestif or a dessert), but don’t just throw your cast-off crud at me and expect me to be grateful…
