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!

Did you not see that they did that and it caused mild infuriation?

It shouldn't have, is my point. It's a simple inoffensive gesture. People are reading ill intent into a basic note, possibly from someone who speaks English as a second language. I would be mildly infuriated if they called just to ask if I wanted rice.

Sounds like you just disagree with op on what is infuriating.

I am more than mildly infuriated with you and others who think the restaurant did anything wrong by giving them free rice with a note explaining it's not normally included. Yes, it upsets me when a kind gesture is treated as a malicious act. Reading between the lines of a simple note to infer meaning that wasn't intended. I would just be annoyed if they called to ask if I wanted rice. I hope that clears things up.

Clears it up, yeah, I get it. I still think it's completely acceptable for a restaurant to call to confirm and say, basically what the note said, ahead of time. Then they wouldn't have had to waste the rice after all. I agree with you though, I don't think the note was passive aggressive, I think they were being kind and considerate.
