I'm gluten free due to allergy and the amount of times they say "oh we don't have the gluten free option" is staggering. I mean I know I should eat at home 99% of the time, but I wanna go out sometimes...
Its kinda crazy because in reality its by far the cheapest, but lobbyist groups have pushed so fucking hard for meat that often meat options are cheaper, due to insane inertia and gargantuan subsidies.
Have you ever waited in line for an order, with a ticket, and it seemed like you got skipped? I assume that was a coincidence, and probably your order just took a little longer, or the ticket numbers aren't in order anyway. This comic jokes that it's intentional to spite you.
Or the people that ask for unsalted fries so they’re fresh. The people know exactly why you ask, sometimes they get upset with the extra work so they let them cool off anyways.
Which is one of many reasons why I won’t go for fast food anymore.
I’m on a low sodium diet, and have been all of my life because high blood pressure runs in the family. (I started blood pressure meds at 17 despite being an athlete with a great diet)
I used to swing by after work 2 days a week and get fries on my way home, a treat after the 12 hour days (2 days a week were 12 hrs due to how the workflow had to be).
Eventually they started being cold, and like.. they aren’t any good cold.. haven’t bought fast food in decades as a result, even as a treat, or when on a road trip. If my health is such a problem that you’ll punish me for asking for what I need in order to spend my money with you, you aren’t getting my money ever again.
I get it, they aren’t paid enough to give a fuck and do “extra” work, and I don’t blame the workers. That’s why I didn’t complain about cold food to management, I just stopped spending money there.
Sometimes they just take the salted fries, throw them back in the fryer for a few seconds to "wash away the salt" and then give them to you. Now you get slightly older, extra oily fries instead.
Not salt, but that goes against every food handling process, and if you did that once, management would have been informed by the customer.
Sure, some edgy teenagers probably do it once or twice, but they’re not gonna have a job much past that day. There’s a bunch of other “legal” stuff to do, that’s gonna bother them even more.
I’ve never heard that one but I’ve heard some fast food workers say that when they get those customers, the unsalted fries are typically ones that have been left out longer, not a fresh made order.
When I worked in fast food, unsalted fries were such a rare request it didn't make sense to keep any on hand. Especially considering fries are only good for 15-20 minutes. Also, we didn't have anywhere to keep them. They had to come straight out of the fryer, or else they'd have to be stored under the heat lamp on metal that is slathered with salty oil.
that salty oil is what makes 'em so good. i don't need extra poured over the top, though, just dump the fries in the bin and scoop 'em right up. there's enough salt in the bin already.
Or, they just had to cook an entire new batch of fries for your "unsalted" order that you're going to throw a bunch of salt on anyway. No maliciousness required, that takes time to cook. The two other people in line with you can just get a large fry shoveled out of the already existing batch of fries, you have to wait because you specifically requested them make a new batch of fries.
Weird for that to happen. But it makes sense now.
I can count with my hands, the number of times I've had to take a coupon and wait.
Guess it would have been funnier had that actually have happened to me before.
I want everybody to know that in fast food you are not entitled to a place in line. If you are not physically stuck in the drive-thru line then there's no real reason to get your food out in exact order. You get your food when it is the most convenient to push out as fast as possible. Sometimes that means somebody ordered before you ordered a way easier meal gets their food first.
i have food allergies. when i'm traveling, sometimes the local multinational corporation is the only place i can get reliably safe food and we're not really willing to drive all over a new town trying to find a safe food truck in the middle of a road trip. consistency across the chain is a valuable selling point. but yeah, i agree with you in general.
For me it's a guilty pleasure. I don't go often but I know exactly what I'm getting when I do. It's fairly consistent.
What's not consistent is the pricing. Holy shit they've gotten expensive. Nice local places can be cheaper nowadays... If you're local enough to know where to look.
the 'nice local places' around me just raise their prices, too. two or more can eat at a chain fast-food place for the price of one basic lunch at a 'local' restaurant.
I know. I just hear people complain about how expensive it is. I mean, if you can afford it go for it. But If your budget is stretched to the limit (or beyond) then perhaps consider making food at home. Yes I love fast food, but for what they charge I could get three meals made at home for the comparative cost. (And I find it tastes better too.)
oh yeah, our family ate at one of the local taquerias (our favorite went to shit so we're exploring them all again) and the whole family ate for less at the taqueria than it costs the teenager to eat at taco bell. idk what's up with fast food right now but i could wager a solid guess (trying to adjust prices to inflation before that inflation happens. projected inflation i guess)
Ehhhhhhh as someone who works in the corrugated industry. I've seen the massive tanks that hold a myriad of chemicals with odd names they use to make the paper, and then all the chemicals and additives that go into the starch (read: glue) that holds that corrugated board together. Cardboard is probably worse on your health than McDonald's.
Once upon a time, I dismissed the adage for the region "Want your dick sucked? Dip it in ranch." as ridiculous... Then I spent some time there. It's not entirely inaccurate. 😶
It's true, any time you have been slightly inconvenienced in life it was not mere coincidence but rather the targeted action of malicious wage workers against you specifically because they're definitely that invested in your life.
Yes and I'm saying maybe instead of coddling the modern sense of cosmic self-importance by acceptance through jest, we should instead maybe tell people to like, grow up?
I really don't see your argument here. The humor in the comic is based entirely on the subversion of expectation. Specifically the implicit understanding that these kinds of minor inconveniences are not the product of intent (malicious or otherwise).
I disagree, the humor in the comic is indulging out irrational feelings that things happen to us as a matter of cosmic consequence. This wouldn't exist if we didn't have a stupid internal voice that said to us "they're doing this to you."
It's "I know this isn't true, but what if?"
The problem is, people and psyche are subtle and nuanced, and by even acknowledging that question, even in jest which seems to point to understanding how silly it is, it effectively helps to legitimize said feeling.
This is the case with a lot of "relatable memes," tbh.
The only way to take your revenge is to quit your job and take employment at a minimum wage service restaurant, in an effort to revisit the sleight against all those that have offended you.
Anyone who does not start working minimum wage service work in this manner is merely faking their outrage for attention.
Costco, whole pizzaa take 20 minutes or so, I order then go shopping
COSTCO: "Order 221"
me: "do you have 175, it's pi......."
COSTCO: "Order 221,222"
me: "do you have 17......."
COSTCO: "Order 222"
I'm not mad, they're super busy and desperately need to get orders off the counter, but they could at least circle back to me after 221 picked up their order.
I've started ordering a cookie now when i'm done shopping, they make eye contact with me to give me the cookie and I ask them for the pie(s)
There is a sign at Portillo's (Midwestern hot dog chain) that says something along the lines of, "your number is just an identifier and might not be called in order."
Presumably that's because they give out food in whatever order they're finished, so 224 is going to go out before 221, 222, and 223 if it's just, like, a cookie and the others are all full meals for families of four.
Honestly I'm never surprised to see @lemmy.world after these comments. Not saying there aren't plenty of cool people on world, like yourself, but it is the default instance.
Well, you are here. But I'm not a incel. I have kids who are grown and one thing is certain. Many of you probably never will. Somehow its funny that some damaged souls think its okay to dump on men because some of them did you wrong. What you do and how you act makes you no different from them. Its funny to me that people like you can't see it. The person who does these comics is no different from the men she hates. In this context the meaningless downvotes are hilarious.
Its my interpretation and I say it does. I get treated rudely for just existing these days. I realize there are a lot of assholes out there but I can see the hypocrisy of it all. Few of you help the community as much as I do. Today I help set up five bouncy houses and prepared for a Halloween festival. We had three hundred people there. Served them all pizza popcorn and cotton candy. All of this was prepared by people who care about the world and try to make it a better place. As far as I'm concerned when some clueless fetus starts calling people a incels because my worldview clashes with theirs its really shows they are just like those they hate.
I'm a cis white male, to the point that I almost look like the "default" male character in video games; I almost never get treatedly rudely and can't recall a single time that I have when it has had anything to do with my gender.
If you are getting rude treatment on the regular, I am confident that is has exactly fuck all to do your gender.

I disagree, the humor in the comic is indulging out irrational feelings that things happen to us as a matter of cosmic consequence. This wouldn't exist if we didn't have a stupid internal voice that said to us "they're doing this to you."
It's "I know this isn't true, but what if?"
The problem is, people and psyche are subtle and nuanced, and by even acknowledging that question, even in jest which seems to point to understanding how silly it is, it effectively helps to legitimize said feeling.
This is the case with a lot of "relatable memes," tbh.

The only way to take your revenge is to quit your job and take employment at a minimum wage service restaurant, in an effort to revisit the sleight against all those that have offended you.
Anyone who does not start working minimum wage service work in this manner is merely faking their outrage for attention.

Costco, whole pizzaa take 20 minutes or so, I order then go shopping
COSTCO: "Order 221"
me: "do you have 175, it's pi......."
COSTCO: "Order 221,222"
me: "do you have 17......."
COSTCO: "Order 222"
I'm not mad, they're super busy and desperately need to get orders off the counter, but they could at least circle back to me after 221 picked up their order.
I've started ordering a cookie now when i'm done shopping, they make eye contact with me to give me the cookie and I ask them for the pie(s)

Not sure if I'm thinking of a different one or not. That doesn't really seem like evidence of hating men though, that guy sucked.
Everyone knows asking for the hot dude discount means you're not hot enough.

There is a sign at Portillo's (Midwestern hot dog chain) that says something along the lines of, "your number is just an identifier and might not be called in order."
Presumably that's because they give out food in whatever order they're finished, so 224 is going to go out before 221, 222, and 223 if it's just, like, a cookie and the others are all full meals for families of four.

Well, you are here. But I'm not a incel. I have kids who are grown and one thing is certain. Many of you probably never will. Somehow its funny that some damaged souls think its okay to dump on men because some of them did you wrong. What you do and how you act makes you no different from them. Its funny to me that people like you can't see it. The person who does these comics is no different from the men she hates. In this context the meaningless downvotes are hilarious.

Hint: the comic has nothing to do with gender. That's all in your head.
MehBlah@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 296d
Its my interpretation and I say it does. I get treated rudely for just existing these days. I realize there are a lot of assholes out there but I can see the hypocrisy of it all. Few of you help the community as much as I do. Today I help set up five bouncy houses and prepared for a Halloween festival. We had three hundred people there. Served them all pizza popcorn and cotton candy. All of this was prepared by people who care about the world and try to make it a better place. As far as I'm concerned when some clueless fetus starts calling people a incels because my worldview clashes with theirs its really shows they are just like those they hate.
Vespair@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 295d
I'm a cis white male, to the point that I almost look like the "default" male character in video games; I almost never get treatedly rudely and can't recall a single time that I have when it has had anything to do with my gender.
If you are getting rude treatment on the regular, I am confident that is has exactly fuck all to do your gender.
