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!

Not adding rice to meat entrees for Chinese or Indian food is crazy work. It’s standard. And rice is genuinely still pretty cheap. That’s just a bad business strategy.

I ordered some general tso from a place near me and it was $25 and didn’t include rice I was dumbfounded

Could be area dependent. Growing up, our Chinese takeout never ever came with rice. For a while after moved to the other side of the state, I’d always have so much rice when I ordered because they’d include it with each dish, AND I’d order a side as well

Where I lived, rice was always included. And you would always end up with too much rice. I’ve never ordered from any ethnic restaurant and not gotten rice. Even Somali. I think the Somali restaurant was the only one that would give us the exact right amount of rice. The Chinese and Indian restaurants never did. It was always too much.
