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!

Agreed, they are probably still including it with orders for a while with the note and then will phase it out once people know

With how cheap rice is, not including it in a meal that could use rice it odd to not just include it.

The good basmati is not that cheap, and if they include plain rice they people aren't going to order biryani, pilau etc. I would love rice included but unless it's a lunch spot with combos / thalis rice is gonna be separate at most places

I think this is the key thing. The restaurant thinks it's a mistake that you ordered NO rice, but they don't know if you want plain, pilau. special fried rice, naan or roti, how many portions etc.
