Diabetes is tough. At least im self-aware of it and make it as simple as I can when I do eat out with others.

If they expect a 50% tip they can deal with a few mods

My even hotter take is is one item okay? Is it? Maybe order something else.

Is it better to have them take one thing off (anything with cilantro like pico in my case) or not even give

It's better to grow an adult palate and eat like a grown up. Not everything is cotton candy and nachos.

I'm sure you love everything set in front of you huh? Yeah right.

ManicBlue

6/12/23 12:52pm

Don't love everything, but I'll eat everything. I know if others like it there is probably some redeeming quality there.

Sometimes grown ups have to do things they don't want to do, because they are adults.

Hopefully we can perform some service today by making you feel bad and bullying you to change your behavior. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Agreed. If a burger and fried costs $17, it’s fine for me to ask for no mayo and

Agree. Just eat the nacho sauce on the taco bell burrito. No need to get picky.

Every time I go out to eat with my wife I grit my teeth when she orders. And I now refuse to ask what is on a hamburger

shimmy

My wife will read every menu item in detail before ordering. Servers will make 3+ passes to get our order. I die inside.

Only thing I custom order is removing cilantro since I'm genetically defective.

You and me both. I hate cilantro. Even the tiniest of leaf and I can taste it.

When people ask why I care so much I ask them if they would like me to put a drop of Dawn dish soap

I wonder if there is also a Whataburger gene similar to cilantro.

kotacoug

I'd add more than just a drop. Give it a good squeeze.

I hate to say it, but this is a you problem, not a problem for the server, chef, etc. Especially if we're talking about

That's dumb. I'm paying for the food. I'll order it how I want.

This is why you have the palate of an 8 year old, but one that doesn't like pizza.

Pickles are out, whatever they are on. You should allow one change per meal.

Absolutely not. Grow up or order something else. (Sorry)
