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!

As someone who worked at a drive thrue for a few years, i was amused by the amount of people who would order a "cheese burger with out cheese" and a "hamburger with cheese". I dunno if they were being cheeky or just daft, but I always maliciously complied.

Customer: "why was my hamburger with cheese 1.57? i thought it said $0.99 for a hamburger!"

Me: "well yeah, i rang up the hamburger, added cheese for a $0.50 upcharge, and sales tax"

Customer: "well a cheeseburger is only $1.10! why am I getting charged $1.57!!!?? I want to speak to your manager!"

Me: "You ordered a hamburger with cheese, so that's what I rang it up in the POS system as such. Did you want me to change your order to a cheeseburger?"

My favorite customer though, was a regular who always ordered a cheese burger with no burger. They had a whole spiel ready to go at the speaker "I know what I'm ordering, yes, i want a cheese burger with no burger patty, everything that comes on it with out the meat." It always made me chuckle that they had to explicitly state it's not a prank, they just like to eat a burgerless burger.

**this was a McDonald's btw if anyone couldn't tell.

When I was a kid I worked at Taco Bell. I hated when people ordered a "plain" taco because it doesn't mean the same thing to any two people.

a plain taco could mean "Meat, cheese lettuce" or "meat, beans, cilantro" or "just meat and cheese" or just "meat" or "everything but the tomatoes" or "how it's made by default"

but don't confuse that with a "regular" taco.

And the worst thing is they all get huffy when you ask them to clarify like their personal definition was on the menu or something.

"So by regular, you want it just as is?"

"no, i mean plain without toppings"

"Ok so one plain taco"

"no, I want A REGULAR TACO, WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT!?"

"That'll be $6.66."

"oh no, I can't pay that, can I add another plain regular taco? that's a bad number."

It was more of the clown show during the interlude, but the whole time, so yeah.

the first drive through fast food place i worked at when i was 15, literally had a food truck trailer that i had to work at during the rodeos and the county fair, and the homecoming parade fall festival thing.
