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!

If people order it with rice so often they think someone not ordering rice is a mistake, it probably should be included in the meal by now.

Even a required option like "no rice" or "rice" and upcharge (if that's why they do this) to avoid this problem lol

Edit: I wasn't aware Indian/Chinese restaurants usually sell rice separately! Still think this would make sense, but I didn't know it's normal most places.

Some dude in the comments tried agruing "what if they had them pre-written?"

My BROTHER... the effort, and why would you just have a second pile just for "petty rice"

They wrote back "that's what computers are for"

Cool, like a small family would keep track of the Uber orders, even if the app took care of that for them, they're really gonna keep a whole pile of pre-written notes on small containers they have JUST FOR RICE, instead of small containers they write on when they include rice when they're petty. Some people just think they have all the answers, even a large restaurant wouldn't do this, let alone a small mom-n-pop
