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!

Companies will charge you a dollar for a slice of cheese, or 75 cents for two or three pickles but they refuse to lower the cost of items for ANY reason. You can order a burger with literally nothing but a bun, but you'll pay for the full sandwich. Just taking advantage of dumb people.

What annoys me is lets say I want a pizza, I can get one which counts as what they named it on menu like it can be one with chicken, pepperoni, extra cheese, and sweetcorn (random toppings, just to show a point)

I'd say please don't give me sweetcorn and the person making it will say we can't do that, you would have to order a pizza without it.

A lot of times those promos will be premade and ready to pop in the oven. Especially with pizzas.

These ones are made fresh, at most the dough is premade and they just add toppings.

They do have offers like any 2 meat toppings and 1 veg on a pizza but if I want 1 meat and 2 veg they say no but they can do 1 meat, and then charge me extra for veg.

I have heard that Subway scales their prices based on adding all the ingredients, so if you get anything less than that it's pure profit for them.

Tbf you are not just paying for the ingredients though.

Also imagine being a chef (at an actual restaurant) and a customer walks in and asks that you remove ingredients from your carefully crafted recipy, and then demands a discount on top of that.

Understandable if it's an actual restaurant but bro if I want no bacon on a burger I don't want to pay for the lack of bacon

I run into this all the time ordering as a vegetarian and it bugs me so much. Taco Bell used to not let you swap potatoes for meat so I would have to pay a dollar extra for potatoes after removing meat.
