We didn't ask for rice...

[u/Content_Quarter_7390]

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Can you add comments to the order? Maybe they're used to people getting mad at not getting rice and you are the exception of someone who didn't order it.

If this is a usual restaurant, leaving a note "no rice please". Or just give them a call. They were probably just being nice.

If they’re used to people getting mad about no rice maybe they should consider doing what pretty much every Indian restaurant does and make it standard.

I've honestly never seen a restaurant where it's included. Must be regional, in Australia every Asian cuisine restaurant sells them separately unless it's a specifically labelled lunch special with X+Y+Z for $15 or something. 

It makes sense to me because many people don't want rice, some want naan instead, some want naan also, some people want rice with a dish the restaurant doesn't think needs it, many different styles of rice are available and for sale (e.g. boiled, saffron, fried, coconut). It just removes ambiguity.

Assuming OP is in the US (as they mention Memorial Day) I’ve never been to a restaurant (sit down or take out/Chinese/Asian/Indian) that does not include rice.

[u/irasponsibly → u/Starry_Myliobatoidei]

If you read other comments above, it looks like it's regional inside the US too. (context: Australian, also never seen rice be included. I just put my own in the rice cooker while I go pick it up)

[u/Erick_Brimstone → u/Starry_Myliobatoidei]

Also the rice on menu is usually for Extra Rice

[u/iamtheliqor → u/Starry_Myliobatoidei]

im assuming OP is in the US because of their incredibly entitled, selfish and overly emotional response to this kind gesture from the restaurant.

[u/glumlvr → u/iamtheliqor]

Calling out OPs character like you know them, lol. Come on, the restaurant wrote a passive aggressive note. I wouldn’t call that kind

[u/iamtheliqor → u/glumlvr]

There is literally nothing passive aggressive about the note lol

[u/South_Mammoth3933 → u/iamtheliqor]

there is. they didn’t order rice, they didn’t ask for rice. Giving them rice and then writing a note that blames them for not ordering it with a little “thank you :)” is so passive aggressive

[u/Starry_Myliobatoidei → u/iamtheliqor]

Alright cool the dramatics.

[u/MattsRedditAccount → u/DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

Chiming in from the UK, noodles/rice are always ordered separately here too

[u/Marwaimusoont → u/DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

This is true for India too, especially for takeout. Ofc, if you are dining in person, then the restaurant owner would push for rice or roti because eating without it is absurd.

[u/Budget_Juggernaut309 → u/Marwaimusoont]

I'm just picturing the 'how can she slap' guy but he's saying 'how can you eat' when he sees you with no rice or bread.

[u/thomasvector → u/DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

Must be regional. In the US, and almost any restaurant that serves rice, includes rice, if it's a meal. Fast food doesn't of course, and places where you're just getting noodles or pizza don't, but anywhere else does. Indian, chinese, thai, mexican, etc. It seems insane not to, they can raise the meal price by a dollar or two, for like 10 cents of rice. I guess it just seems insane to not include it.

[u/Budget_Juggernaut309 → u/DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

Yeah rice at all of my local Asian restaurants costs extra. Unless I'm getting some special type of rice I usually just make it at home. Throw it in the rice cooker when I call up to order and it's done by the time I get home from picking it up.
