When it comes to eating out, you either stick to the menu as it is or tweak it to suit your palate.
However, when you start removing and swapping ingredients, you risk not only changing the intended flavour of the dish but also potentially offending the chef.
This was a lesson one man learned the hard way after he requested no pickles on his double trouble smash burger. His note read: “No pickles please. I know…. You guys hate taking them off, but not as much as I hate pickles.”
But when his order arrived, he was left chuckling at the chef’s cheeky response to his request.
He revealed that his UberEats delivery included cajun fries, homemade pink lemonade, an extra signature sauce, and his pickle-free burger.
However, delving deeper into the bag, he discovered a small pot of pickles with a label stuck on it reading: “Eat it” accompanied by a sketch of an angry face.
He simply posted on social media: “Passive-aggressive chef strikes back.”
The post has since been shared on Reddit’s mildly infuriating thread, leaving people in stitches.
One user commented: “Lmao the ‘eat it’ tape on the pickle container is sending me. That chef said what they said and I respect the pettiness.”
Another user added: “The >:( was what sent me over into a laughing fit.”
A third user chimed in: “I think this chef would be a brilliant drinking buddy.”
One amused user commented: “This is freaking hilarious. I would absolutely eat that pickle!” Another chimed in with: “This chef is hilarious. I’d definitely be ordering again.”
Sharing their thoughts on the food industry, a user remarked: “I will never understand why people in various food industries (especially fast food or restaurants in general) complain when people ask for things to not be put in/on their food.
“Unless the s*** is 100% premade reheated bull****, the only consequence of ‘don’t put this thing on my food’ is the person making it has to do less work.
“As a young person working the line, I loved people who wanted plain food, or wanted half the s*** that goes on something to not be put on the thing.
“Simply meant I got paid to do less work than normal, ‘Ohh I can skip putting all this other s*** on this burger? F*** yeah, easy peasy’.”
