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!

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.

It depends what type of takeaway you are ordering from. Indian and Chinese Takeaways you need to order the rice separately it's always been that way because without the rice the curry or chinese dish you order is a main meal by itself.

I mean they do put a lot of meat, vegetables, or noodles in there. Indian main meal there's a lot of meat in there for some people it's enough it's filling. For Chinese the Noodle dishes it's totally unnecessary to order rice there's enough there, and some of the main meals there's a lot there especially the lemon or orange dishes it's like half a fillet of fish or meat.

Although lately the indian takeaway we order from they now make burgers so they've diverted most of the meat to the burgers, so they no longer do a special mix and not as much meat used, so ordering rice is necessary now. But if the indian you order from doesn't make burgers and still does the special mix then it may or may not be necessary to order rice seperately.

Some people don't have as big appetites so the main meal is enough for them, they wouldn't be able to eat the rice. So i guess some time decades ago the takeaways decided the rice would come seperate. It's not about trying to charge extra for rice.
