Have you ever had to compromise kitchen creativity/integrity for monetary gain?

Never. Period.
I tell my cooks all the time.
"what's your reputation worth?, what's my reputation worth?"
I will never be successful serving a browning head of lettuce to save me $2.00.
If you can't put a price on your reputation, then don't ever justify it by serving subpar food to save a buck.
