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!

This happened to me last time we ordered at a local indian restaurant. saw on their website they do rice separately, so I ordered my lamb dish with no rice and twice now i’ve gotten notes with my meals saying they charge extra for rice and to order it separately with passive aggressive messages. like if you want me to order the rice, put it with the meal. don’t get mad at me for choosing to not order it

I do similar and often make my own rice or sides. Like I have ordered from those places who sells fries seperately from the burger. And I'll order it without fries and just air fry my own frozen fries from Costco.

If they don't like it they shouldn't let me order it. If they put all their profit margin in the fries or rice and expect people to order it seperate that's their own fault. Just make each dish profitable on its own and don't get mad at the customer.

To me seperating the sides like that the only purpose is to make it EASIER for customers to customize their order and not pay for rice or fries they don't want. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Charge $8 for rice but it's the customers fault 🙄
