AITA for ignoring my sisters after they weren't there in my time of need?quote:I (29F) won't say the diagnosis, but it causes me to be ill very often; it's a miracle if there's one week where I'm not sick. This diagnosis means I'm prone to getting ill and will often easily pick up whatever my work colleagues or anyone who is sick and is around me has. My immune system is weak, and whereas people are often told to rest and take paracetamol/ibuprofen, I have to go to my GP for solid antibiotics to fight this infection as my immune system can't. Although I have this diagnosis, I don't talk about it or complain and get on with the day.

Getting staff involved is unhinged. I'd personally just pull it off, but there's absolutely nothing unreasonable about letting the staff know that they hosed up your order, this helps everyone involved (including the diner, the FoH, the kitchen, and the next person who might be allergic to tomatoes or whatever). Many restaurants actually pride themselves on serving food as-ordered and a burger is a super easy ticket to refire.

Yeah if I say "no tomato" and the waitress writes down "no tomato" and it comes out with tomato then I am within my rights to send it back and get what I ordered. You don't have to be an rear end in a top hat about it, but it's not "unhinged" to get the food you ordered.

the holy poopacy posted:AITA for ignoring my sisters after they weren't there in my time of need? Something similar to this is why I immediately kicked every single person I knew in high school to the curb the second I got out. I ended up with complications from surgery during my graduation year, and not only did my "friends" kick me out of any grad related stuff, while I was hospitalized I begged them to come see me and only one did and it was obvious they didn't want to be there. I have friends now that have shown up for me even when they didn't need to or I didn't ask. gently caress those sisters. Your best friend is your sister now.

A tomato on a burger, I'd probably just remove it myself and not be too concerned. But I don't think it's unhinged to send it back. I just wouldn't do it. Now if it was something where you had the offending ingredient mixed into a pasta dish or something, then yeah I'd definitely either send it back or just eat it depending on how strong the preference is. "Hey, I'm sorry, I asked for this without tomato, can I get a new one?" is not being a Karen or whatever loser OP was afraid of. Literally just not eating the burger but not doing or saying anything is pretty unhinged, though.

Everything in the kitchen is suffused in tomato essence anyway. Even if there is no visible tomato in your dish, homeopathy teaches us that this is actually worse.

The tension between not being able to say "okay really dude just like flop em off its a tomato why are you getting me involved how could life come to a point where a stranger is asking me to manage their tomato situation" and "having to smile be nice and act contrite because my job is to act subservient long enough to gamble on a few bucks the table will leave behind when I got to clean up their mess and If I don't do this enough today I won't be able to pay rent" gave me a weird emotional reaction to even simple requests that was logistically not able to be expressed. It's been several years, I no longer scan tables for refills and I mostly just ignore what everyone else at the table has ordered instead of try to remember it for no reason.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for not yelling at the waitress It's weird, some people are so anti-confrontational that they'd rather not even politely ask for an order to be corrected. This has happened to me with two different friends. One friend ordered a Dr. Pepper but received a Coke. She hates Coke but decided to just live with it rather than say anything to the waitress. On a separate occasion with a different friend, she placed an order for fries but the waitress forgot them. She was quite upset that she didn't get the fries but adamantly refused to say anything to the waitress about it. Both times, I took it upon myself to politely ask the waitress to correct the orders and both friends were mortified that I did. They felt like doing so was rocking the boat or something. They were both much happier with their meals when they were corrected so I was baffled as to why they didn't want to say anything. Neither waitress was bothered when I asked for the orders to be corrected. It happens all the time with service jobs and isn't a big deal. Extreme passivity is odd.

I'm sure waitstaff are also plenty used to one person asking on behalf of someone else who won't do it themselves. So just help your friends out if they can't muster up the courage themselves and it doesn't bother you. But I also can see why someone might find that kind of passivity unattractive in a potential partner if they don't want to be forced to always be the one speaking up.

It’s not that big of a deal, someone involved in the process made a mistake and you were being asked to correct it as the customer facing end of that organization. It is not a personal attack, if the customer isn’t being an rear end just fill the order as requested and move on with your life?

also if you do like a doordash type delivery and some of your order gets forgotten, when you ask for a refund or w/e you can also lie about one additional part of your order being wrong/missing for bonus credit

I've been served the wrong thing at a restaurant a couple of times and even though I'll make the wait staff aware I usually try whatever they gave me instead of sending it back. Who knows, I might like it. That included a salad that came with choclolate sauce instead of dressing. I did end up sending that back after a few bites and got a new one.

Y'know what? If it's something that you asked to be excluded and you're allergic to then go your hardest and get them to remake the whole order. Fine. But throwing out an entire burger rather than just sliding a single tomato slice onto your plate is the most aggressively wasteful poo poo. Whole bunch of people itt:

Captain Hygiene posted:Yeah, that's just such a tiny thing, who cares. Chocolate syrup salad is the kind of restaurant fuckup I want to hear more about. It was a salad that usually comes with jalapeno ranch dressing but came with a dark dressing instead. I also usually get the dressing on the side so my salad isn't drowned in dressing. I thought it was like a vinaigrette or something and wanted to see if that was better on a southwest salad. When I poured it on the salad it was clearly not much of a liquid and when I tried the sauce I realized it was chocolate. It was at a Rock Bottom I would go to a bunch and when I mentioned it to the bartender she was horrified and offered to get me a new one. I told her I wanted to try it first because who knows, it might be good. It was not and I got a new one made. She kept on apologizing to me but I just laughed and told her its partly my fault too for just pouring it on top. She would tease me about it every now and then when I would come back. I also left her the same tip as I usually do because it was an honest mistake and I do not gently caress with people's tips over mistakes. Unless its crazy egregious, like when I went to a Dave and Buster's and I sat in a booth for 15-20 minutes without seeing a single waitress or even a bartender behind the bar. I even got up and looked around for an employee, any employee, and couldn't find one. I left a bad tip then.
