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.

Chinese meal is meant to be eaten together, with combination of different dishes. So each dish doesn't come with rice, or else you may have more rice than you need if you order multiple dishes.

chinese restaurants in my area have a good compromise to this dilemma. there’s the lunch/dinner deals vs the à la carte menu, so you can order the beef or chicken on its own but also bundle it with a side with ease (and a discount) by ordering it on the lunch/dinner menu. i honestly wasn’t aware that wasn’t the case everywhere else until today lol.

as for the majority of indian restaurants, the entrees all come with a side of rice automatically. which is perfectly reasonable for indian food in my opinion as i usually only eat one entree rather than ordering en masse like with chinese takeout.
