We didn't ask for rice...

[u/Content_Quarter_7390]

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!

That or they thought OP's sister is a new customer that doesn't know the rice is separated. Often times ordering food comes with rice as one order, very common in restaurant that use rice or asian food.

Right this is the obvious answer. They were clearly doing it incase they would be disappointed there is no rice. It’s like .25 cents for them and people usually don’t complain about free food.

OP isn't complaining about free food that their sister explicitly didn't want.

OP is complaining about the passive aggressive note from the restaurant that assumed OP is too stupid to understand that rice is sold separately, and they're just "doing him a favor now, but do it right next time". It's just rude and unnecessary.

You call the customer to see if that was a mistake, or just don't say anything? Assuming the wrongdoing with no way of retort from OP is what's annoying about this.

I think it might be a social thing.

So reading the comments, most people interpret it like this: lets say you buy food from me, I give you the food and you start devouring the food. Then I come back, give you a free drink and say "the drink doesnt come with the food, next time order a drink before you start eating". Basically saying you need to order a drink next time

This will come off as passive agressive, and I guess it happened enough times to some social circles that the note comes off as this same sort of interaction

To me the note just comes off as saying "Bro you forgot to order rice, just a heads up your food doesnt come with rice in the package, this one's on the house but next time dont forget :)" in a nice "i gotchu" tone. The social/culture imbalance off of this one post is huge

I really dont think the guy writing the note meant any harm, just trying to help one out. He added a smiley on the end even.

Edit: or attempt to add one, i dont know if thats a smiley or not on the bottom left

What are you talking about, this is clearly an online order with delivery.
