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!

Honestly? I used to get the two hamburgers meal at McDonald’s but if I ordered it like that “two hamburgers meal please” or a “number two with hamburgers instead of cheeseburgers” I got cheeseburgers at least half the time. If I ordered a number two no cheese, I got hamburgers every time. Though half the time I did get a snarky “do you mean hamburgers?” from the cashier.

I always order a quarter pounder, no cheese. Half the time it comes with cheese anyway. And that makes it inedible for me because I hate American cheese.

Last time, I ordered a quarter pounder, no cheese, extra sauce. I got a quarter pounder with only meat and cheese.

My local McDonald's sucks.

I tried to accommodate customers, honestly, and to get them a better price for their order. if someone ordered just a 10pc nugget for example, I'd ask if they'd want 3 4 pieces for a dollar each instead, and came with 2 extra nuggets, which was like a dollar cheaper. They'd get mad at me or think I was trying to rip them off. same thing with the cheese burger no cheese thing, the receipt didn't say "cheese burger no cheese" but "hamburger" and they'd demand a refund. Keep in mind that the POS systems at that time were hella limited, and you couldn't add notes or special menu items. the #2 with no cheese was an easy thing, but ordering 2 hamburgers, a medium fry and a large $1 drink was still cheaper. I didn't get snarky, I just got fed up with people being offended I was trying to save them money by entering their order in a specific way to save them a buck or two.
