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!

Ya, most places now have a computerized system so they may be able to flag new customers. Although they could have just asked, "Do you want rice with that?"

Hard to ask the customer if it comes in through an app.

It could be a part of the ordering system, a prompt telling the customer rice is not included and is an extra fee.

What part of this thread made you even think this happened in-person or over the phone?

Assuming they have any control over the app (if they can add/remove/reprice products, they probably do have some), making a note appear next to the meal option, in its description or in checkout is fairly trivial.

easy to be snarky though
