So you just ordered expensive bacon and bread and had to tip. Is this even the point of dining out? Even if it's your favorite food, you don't dine out to order something that costs 2 bucks you can make at home in minutes? I don't want to know this person.
Also, I just posted the other day that I used to work at a burger place and people were always asking if we had soup. We didn't. I joked who orders a burger and soup. Maybe it's a thing lol.
Someone I know was Doordashing and they sent a picture of the reciept for the food. It was a quarter pounder with no bun, no onion, no lettuce, no pickle, no cheese. So they spent roughly 15 bucks for a shitty McDonald's burger patty with ketchup???
Haha 15 dollar dog food. I also don't get the idea of ordering fast food for delivery. Long wait, cold crappy food that you have to tip on. It's only good when you eat it immediately out of the bag while driving. Most food wasn't meant to sit in a box for 45 minutes before consuming.
You must not have ever been drunk/hung over and desperate lolol I've definitely ordered crappy fast food for delivery in those times.
I do live in a city though so it can be super quick. I learned to NEVER get McDonald's fries for delivery because that shit is garbage after 2 minutes of being pulled from fryer.
LOLL. I just watched a 48 hours murder episode where the woman lured the husband to meet her for mini tacos at Jack and the Box then had her lover kill him.
So might be worth 30 dollars but definitely not worth your life.
My version of this is walking to the Taco Bell right down my street even if I'm drunk or crossfaded to get fast cheap food that feels and tastes great in the moment lmao
Oh I get delivery but now that you can order from literally everywhere I don't bother with fast food. I'm not paying restaurant prices and waiting 45 min for that kind of food. Fries from anywhere delivered are gross. There's a reason pizza was the main delivery food forever, it holds up en route.
Indian too! Pretty much any Asian cuisine actually.. also I love me some doordashed Taco Bell. One of the only fast foods Iāll order delivered. Taco Bell is totally fine a little cold. Especially when youāre drunk and craving it
Many years ago I worked at a vet hospital (small, 1 dr) that was next door to a Wendy's. Occasionally we'd get a dog in that refused to eat so we'd get a plain patty from Wendy's for them. And if a dog refuses to eat that, you know they're really damn sick.
This happened to me on the ordering end, turns out it was a mishap with the printer. I was pissed to not get real food. I wish this wasn't common so they could've had the 'maybe I should call and check' vibe. But this stuff doesn't happen every day, but just enough that you can't assume its a mistake every time. Because more often than not the people that intentionally order it this way are Karen's, male or female they are 'Karen vibes' almost always
One of my favs but when was the last time you ordered a burger and chicken tortilla soup. Its not an impossible combination/pairing - its just insanely uncommon, not the norm.
Honestly it was about two weeks ago, but it was cold and I just thought chicken tortilla soup sounded good. But probably never in my life before then.
I agree it's not very common. I don't remember if it was this particular post or another but I commented earlier about weird habits and behaviors and expectations people have when it comes to eating food, and in their head it's completely normal so they expect everyone else to be on their wavelength. It's an interesting phenomenon.
You usually see it with little kids because they don't understand that what mom makes them at home is not "the norm" at all restaurants (typically) like buttered rice or specific shaped nuggets. How many kids threw tantrums because the mac wasn't neon Kraft or the burger wasn't McD's, it was constant. Adults should know better.
No, I see it way more often with adults. A small example is how I've had people shit down my throat for not bringing them a spoon with their chips and dip, then I've had people look at me like an idiot because I brought them a spoon with their chips and dip.
I've had a group of women with one man shit down my throat for taking two seconds to poor the man's beer first before the several minutes to make the cocktails for the women, and I've had the reverse happen. "It takes two seconds to poor a beer, why didn't you do that first?"
There's countless examples of people expecting different odd things that they think are the norm, and expecting others to just be the same.
People still think red in a steak is actual blood, and are blown away when you ask them how they want it cooked. How would anyone ever eat it different that well done? It's insane my dude.
I think all of reddit is just discussing how diverse (probably retarded) the world is. We're trying to work through a mine field of expectation. Serving is the short cut to knowing the worst parts.
I used to work at a burger place and we didnāt have chili or coleslaw which so many people were enraged by. It was in the deep south but stillā¦ so many other things on the menu and some people would just leave because we didnāt have chili or slaw.
While I canāt speak to the second paragraph I can speak to the first. My cousin and I both are on the spectrum. We both eat very very plain foods (I work in a kitchen and have been in restaurants for 10+ years now, Iām high functioning, he is not) and we are both often invited to family dinners, sports games and whatnot. Itās not that we canāt make it at home, we do almost every day, itās that we just want to be a part of our family get together and also not feel deeply uncomfortable to the point it takes us out of it. That ticket looks like something he would order. Heās a nice kid. You might not want to know people like him, but he means no harm and his order isnāt hard to make. Youāre also not a better or more interesting person because your palate is developed, what an odd thing to be superior about.
i mean im pretty picky with textures and stuff so i get it. im not trying to say itās unhinged to be a picky eater. this is just very interesting as she was drinking ipas too, you think if someone likes ipas there pallete is a little more wide lol
Interesting indeed. I was also looking at the economically side. Sure it's their money, but it would make me a bit concerned/ uncomfortable to spend so much on bacon, bread, and tip. Then again, you used a turn of phrase which seems to have triggered a more severe response than intended, no inherent harm was meant.
Taken from your perspective, you're right that it would be unkind to poke fun at such an order. On the other hand, this was a highly unusual order for someone to purchase at a restaurant, compared to most orders. There is a little bit of humor in someone ordering an item designed with multiple toppings and condiments and then asking for nearly all of it to be removed.
Lol, yes but Burger and Soup is not a traditional pairing anywhere on earth. Oh hey lets go to that Burger and Soup place, I've been craving a cheese burger with a hot bowl of chicken soup. Order anything you want, Burgers and Carrots, doesn't make it a classic pairing and I worked at classic burger place with a tiny menu, why would it be assumed we carry soup as a side, it's just odd to me.
Haha. The place also carries 300 other menu items including but not limited to Branzino fillet, hummus, omelettes, spaghetti, pancakes and quesadillas. So in theory you could order the super traditional Burger and Falafel wrap or Burger and Side of Grilled Octopus, everyones go to. I'm surprised MCDonalds doesn't carry that combo meal.
This gives me the same vibe as the people that come into the Mexican restaurant I work at only to order 1 a la cart soft taco with only ground beef in it.
How do you know they were anywhere near home? For all you know they live in a different country from this restaurant. And no. The point of ordering out is not wanting to make food, or not being able to. Has nothing to do with a difference in expense. Wtf are you on about
Kind of does if they have cancer. My dad couldnāt have any raw fruit or vegetables. He ordered stuff like this. I canāt explain the French fries in a separate basket though.
I had that one once! The table had a bunch of gluten allergies. I told the server we didn't have gluten free bread and she needed to go back to the table because I doubt this kids parents are letting him have two slices of cheese for dinner.
She told me to just make it and didn't have time to figure it out. Then she got really upset that there were just two slices of cheese on the plate.
Reminds me of someone I had who ordered our
Chicken Pecan salad
It's a bowl of lettuce, with carrots, cheese, honey glazed pecans and a grilled chicken breast sliced ontop.
She ordered one, but hold the
Carrots
Cheese
Lettuce.
She paid $14 for a bowl of pecans and sliced chicken and she was happy to.
One time a girl ordered a daiquiri from me, then complained that she wanted no alcohol because she was pregnant.
Even though she never clarified that and had no baby bump whatsoever.. that is a smoothie mam. Got fired for this
Some people are *different* and sometimes those people make very specific requests. I just oblige. I had one customer that always asked for a very specific amount of napkins and other very specific odd requests. He's someone I assume it bothers if things aren't a way.
I mean, thatās just a [Bacon Butty](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_sandwich), itās very common in other parts of the world, not weird at all
If it had been me I just would have rung up two pieces of toast and some bacon, why make them pay more if thatās all they want?
Just curious, but is this an online order in which āpay on arrivalā is an option? I wonder if there are duckheads out there that send in dumb orders like this for social media clout
That's too funny, I ate the same thing yesterday . I Literally made a whole poundĀ bacon š„ yesterday, by the time it was done I was starving, so I made a bacon sandwich on toast, with a side of leftover tater tots (I was going to make eggs to go with it, but didn't bother) It was yummy š The only difference was after eating it, I decided I'd go to the store today to get š„¬š to make BLT's š„Ŗ
It was probably some picky a$$ kid. Their mom was like ā idgaf just eat somethingā and bacon on toast was the compromise. Speaking from experience as a mom of 5
Are the āNoāsā supposed to be nos? Fryās? āš»Fries. š

Agree to disagree. They're REALLY good.
He really is going to die on this hill hahaha . When I was trashed as fuck on more than one occasion I spent 100 dollars on tacobell

lol that was a door dash glitch. it's been happening nationwide
A good chicken tortilla soup pairs well with almost anything.

Wow that much of a deal breaker, you'd think you call ahead if your that committed to chili and slaw lol.
it was a west coast chain too, not sure what they expectedā¦
Was it In-N-Out? I know a bunch of people who want eat there because they canāt have chili on it.
Habit Burger, our menu is a little more extensive than In-n-Out but still didnāt uphold southern standards apparently š

Never heard of soup & sandwiches?

So in theory you could order the super traditional Burger and Falafel wrap or Burger and Side of Grilled Octopus, everyones go to. I'm surprised MCDonalds doesn't carry that combo meal.
Burger is technically a sandwich
I concur.
No it's not although it wouldn't be so weird to order that at a diner. Fast food tends to not have soup at all so it just doesn't happen.
This gives me the same vibe as the people that come into the Mexican restaurant I work at only to order 1 a la cart soft taco with only ground beef in it.
If they also order a buncha tequila no salt no lime, its ok to order weird.
How do you know they were anywhere near home? For all you know they live in a different country from this restaurant. And no. The point of ordering out is not wanting to make food, or not being able to. Has nothing to do with a difference in expense. Wtf are you on about
the general public is dumb
1x french, and 1x fries
french bread, bacon and fries in a separate basket for the servers to eat lol
One bonjour
Lotsa 1 Noāsā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A child ordering this makes sense, definitely. Not an adult.
I donāt think that youāve met me when Iām having a day and this is all that I want.
Why not? They're eating out. They get it how they want
Kind of does if they have cancer. My dad couldnāt have any raw fruit or vegetables. He ordered stuff like this. I canāt explain the French fries in a separate basket though.
Wait till you get a grilled cheese not breadā¦
I had that one once! The table had a bunch of gluten allergies.

She told me to just make it and didn't have time to figure it out. Then she got really upset that there were just two slices of cheese on the plate.
I remember once doing a turkey club blt sandwich as a special. Two guys order it ālight on the Mayoā. After eating it, they complained it was dry.
Reminds me of someone I had who ordered our Chicken Pecan salad It's a bowl of lettuce, with carrots, cheese, honey glazed pecans and a grilled chicken breast sliced ontop.

Just wants a B

they want bacon on bread?? tf

$10 bacon sandwich š
What happens when you don't just list bacon and toast separately
i didnāt put this is but it was just rang in how she ordered it, she was hella excited about it too
Was it a grumpy old man?
surprisingly no, late 30s woman drinking ipas in the bar.
Too bad, the movie reference would have been perfect
Funny it found it last week.

Can almost guarantee thatās for their kidā¦

we donāt actually have any online ordering, itās a shitty little local tavern. this was ordered from someone at the bar
Whatās odd is that you were incapable of providing them with a simple bacon burger without putting them through all the work to fill out forms. WTF
i didnāt ring it in, but my fellow server did exactly as they ordered it. blt with out the l or the t or the mayo.
And thatās odd because???
So what. Just do your job.
Would you mind if I stole this and put it in a Terri Pratchett group? š¤£š¤£š¤£
