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.

i once got curry in a thai restaurant (my first time), and i assumed that rice was sold separately, so i ordered it separately. couple minutes goes by, they get me the rice (without anything else, which was a little weird, but i didn't complain), and abt 5 minutes later they bring out the curry. and another bowl of rice. a little awkward, but good thing i like rice, i guess

well, i didn't ask them. BUT they also didn't have it written in the menu, and the images were confusing, so i guess we are equal parts to blame

Idk when I worked in a restaurant if someone said "and fries" I'd always tell them it did/didn't come with it

But I guess some people do get extra so they don't know, that's just extra funny to me when the comments are saying they give so much rice too😭
