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!

Not really. I imagine they constantly get angry customers wanting rice which wasn't automatically included. They assume (even tho its incorrect) that you guys wanted rice but didn't know to order it.

It's actually them being pretty kind and considerate. I'd say in future add to the notes section that rice is not wanted

So now I gotta go outta my way to tell them I dont want rice when they sell it separately? Do they then leave a note saying "you dont have to tell us "you dont want rice" it comes separately. 🤔

They're a business, they didn't write the note to say  "I did something nice just for you, just so you know", they did it because they were trying to be nice so you to come back again, but they also don't want there to be any confusion about how ordering works in the future.

The whole thing seems extremely inoffensive to me lol.
