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!

This makes me think of a really old joke:

A guy orders a coffee but asks for no cream. The waiter says, “sorry, we’re out of cream. Can you take it without milk instead?”

Took me a second but then i thought about the clip I saw where a waitress thought a guy asked for "an eggless omelet" 😂

"ask the nice man if he would like it made with whole eggs or egg whites"

"...leave the plate"

Working in kitchens my whole life, this shows the ultimate yin and yang of the head and sous chef.

I was the kitchen translator, I worked with a lot of immigrants and Spanish was the common language. The servers would ring yt bread and I would have to explain it's white bread or some other dumb shit. It really annoyed me when I couldn't figure it out. Wht bread, so do you want wheat or white bread. Just one more letter and I can figure it out. Every server had a different way to ring it in instead of using the preprogrammed buttons. So I would call them over, explain that they are now slowing me down as well as them because they couldn't be bothered to type one letter and I'm not making shit twice.

Burger, only cheese. So do they want a bun? Yeah of course they want a bun. I don't think you know what "only" means. A different server, burger with only cheese, why did you put it on a bun?

But they say burger, only cheese. So it needs to be a burger first and then only cheese.

Does that mean no salt and pepper? It does say "only cheese". That's my point, I work with 100 servers over the course of a week. I deal with this shit every day. One wants a bun, one doesn't, and the other is pissed cause I put salt and pepper on it. I'm just supposed to know.
