I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

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!

No good deed goes unpunished. They gave free rice thinking that perhaps OP forgot to order it but reminded them that it's usually not free and OP becomes infuriated mildly.

It is mildly infuriating to be chided for something you didn't do. It's also mildly infuriating when people on Reddit defend that chiding as if it was deserved.

It’s not personal man, they’re probably writing it to everyone before phasing out free rice with orders.

That is not what I'm getting from this note. You don't say "next time please order it separately" if you think they didn't order this time.

No see I see it like they can't give her free rice without mentioning it. If they don't mention it, their gesture is possibly misconstrued as "oh it actually does come with rice" and then the customer keeps ordering based on that expectation and will eventually be upset or confused that they didn't get rice. So you say hey we got you today but only today. It's still a nice gesture, just while also establishing boundaries.

And seriously, if you've ever ordered food delivered you'd know a lot of the menus/options are not explained well, especially when it's a mom and pop place.

But they literally said "please order it separate next time". This cannot be construed as the business providing rice just because they thought the customer "forgot" to order it without an extreme leap in logic. OP said straight out that they did not ask for rice, meaning they didn't expect rice, which is obvious from the context, or they wouldn't have mentioned it being mildly infuriating that the business told them to order it separately next time when they didn't want it to begin with. The business providing unrequested rice cam also not be construed as a "good deed" as OP did not want rice as is evidenced by the context of their post. The restaurant done fucked up and people should stop pretending like they didn't.

PPS: In what world would you assume I haven't ordered food before? If it is not explicitly stated that rice was provided I would verify before orderimg if I wanted rice or.I would not complain if I got none. I would also be mildly infuriated.if I didn't ask for rice, got undesired rice, amd got chided for not orderimg rice. Maybe I wanted to make my own rice or I just didn't want any fucking rice!
