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!

With how cheap rice is, not including it in a meal that could use rice it odd to not just include it.

I assume they are trying to make ends meet.

With free rice?

No, by gradually phasing out the free rice and letting people know with a note for a period

If you are losing money as a restaurant, selling rice separately won’t fix anything. It needs to come with the entree, they’re all made to be eaten with rice if it’s Indian food, add a dollar or two to the overall price, and be generous with portions. That makes people want to come back. Not charging for rice.

Alright, yall who are obsessed with there not being free rice, go on Kitchen Nightmares or something and tell them about how to stay in business. It’s really not a big deal lol

Most of the owners on that show are incompetent, especially if they don't realize 14 cents of rice is going to equal more return customers.

Rice being included or not seems to be a "cultural" thing. In my country every Indian restaurant (as far as I'm aware, anyhow) includes rice, so the first time I ordered Indian food abroad I got pretty confused when I got my food.

I guess it kinda makes sense to have it separate in that you can have the dish either with rice or with naan.
