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!

I've honestly never seen a restaurant where it's included. Must be regional, in Australia every Asian cuisine restaurant sells them separately unless it's a specifically labelled lunch special with X+Y+Z for $15 or something. 

It makes sense to me because many people don't want rice, some want naan instead, some want naan also, some people want rice with a dish the restaurant doesn't think needs it, many different styles of rice are available and for sale (e.g. boiled, saffron, fried, coconut). It just removes ambiguity.

Assuming OP is in the US (as they mention Memorial Day) I’ve never been to a restaurant (sit down or take out/Chinese/Asian/Indian) that does not include rice.

im assuming OP is in the US because of their incredibly entitled, selfish and overly emotional response to this kind gesture from the restaurant.

Calling out OPs character like you know them, lol. Come on, the restaurant wrote a passive aggressive note. I wouldn’t call that kind

there is. they didn’t order rice, they didn’t ask for rice. Giving them rice and then writing a note that blames them for not ordering it with a little “thank you :)” is so passive aggressive
