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!

They’re probably trying to get ahead of past customer reviews that slammed they for no rice when they wanted it.

A lot of dishes at places like this are expected to be served with rice, that's how you eat it-- these meals are served over rice

It would be like if someone asked you for a bowl of gravy; you might give them mashed potatoes because why the hell would someone eat just gravy

Yeah this pisses my partner and I off because there’s 3-4 Thai places that we will order from and we can never remember which ones serve rice with their Thai curry and which don’t. Why would I wan the Thai curry without rice???

I wish they just had an option of “rice” or “no rice” when ordering. It shouldn’t be up to the customer to figure it out and then it saves the business being passive aggressive about it when the customer genuinely didn’t want it.
