    nah dick's is great and is a local institution. they've offered really competitive tuition support for years and they don't deign to the customer at all: if you take too long to order, they tell you to fuck yourself; if you try to order anything customized, they tell you to fuck yourself; i think they finally got card readers, but for years if you tried to pay in anything but cash, they told you to fuck yourself.

            b-b-b-but what about people w/ allergies? don't they get their treats?

            amazing that you morons will construe literally everything in the least charitable light possible, every time. fwiw, iirc, there are like four sandwich options, so if one were allergic to, say, their relish sauce, or cheese, or onions, that would not prevent one from eating there.

              Or, crazy idea, just let them get the sandwich minus the relish. Literally just not adding an ingredient.

          It's pretty bad for disabled people. I don't want a certain ingredient because the texture is just horrible to me? Fuck me? I take too long to decide because I have trouble making decisions in general? Fuck me?

            Handy tip. Don’t stand in the line. Look at menu till you’ve made your decision. Join line.

              I can't speak for OP and I usually try to do this, but this is not always practical when the restaurant is designed such that the only way to be able to read the text on the menu is to be close to the front of the line.

              I was thinking about sit down restaurants. Of course if there's a line I'm not gonna hold it up. But like the other reply said there needs to be a way to read the menu without being in line in the first place.

              It's not a "boomer mindset" to want accommodations for a fucking disability. And it's not "picky", I've literally thrown up from certain textures. Or not in my case but even more common: people are allergic to certain ingredients.

              don’t hold up the line

              I was thinking a sit down restaurant. If there's a line ofc you just let someone in front of you and take your turn when you are ready. But the restaurant would need to have printed menus easily available instead of just the big overhead displays that I can barely read unless I'm already at the front of the line.

                  "to accommodate my pickiness which is totally serious and not just food preference because I said so it’s very different than food preferences that literally everyone everywhere has I’m different"

                  Holy shit this is ableist as fuck. Just shut the fuck up if you don't know what you're talking about.

                  it’s totally something that they should be forced to work around just for me not for normal people with food preferences but definitely for me because I’m different it’s not pickiness

                  No, it's something that should be (and is) standard fare for food service, for anyone. It's takes literal seconds to complete most requests. Hell sometimes you do less work because it's just leaving something off.

                  And I’m also certain that this place isn’t going to say “FUCK YOU” for ordering a burger without lettuce because you’re allergic to lettuce or whatever

                  That's not what this says: "if you try to order anything customized, they tell you to fuck yourself"

                  Then read the fucking menu instead of wasting your server’s time.

                  I'm not wasting my server's time, I'm apparently being told to fuck myself for asking that they come back later because I'm not ready yet.

                      that lets you order your tendies without sauce

                      Yeah, let's add in some well know shitty ableist memes, I'm sure that will help your case.

                      expect to be treated like royalty.

                      Some minor change isn't "expecting to be treated like royalty". Nobody is asking that their food be served on a silver platter at a specific temperature plated just the right way or some shit like that.

                      I don’t think that was meant with 100% coverage of all conditions, obviously.

                      No, I don't see where that's obvious. "Anything customized" means... anything customized.

                      That’s not really part of “if you take too long to order” now, is it?

                      It is.

                      if you cut into their pay

                      Servers are ideally paid hourly, it shouldn't matter whether they serve 1 customer or 5. A restaurant isn't good for maximizing the number of tips its servers get, it would be good for paying their servers and actual fucking wage.

                                Oops, deleted this when I cleared out of this thread because the vibes are definitely bad

                                My lowest price to performance so far is Mellow Corn. Used to be like $8/bottle but now it’s like $16 because everything is expensive but it’s still very good.

                                Japanese bourbon drinkers are geniuses by normalizing whiskey+soda highballs as a great alternative to beer that doesn’t make you feel too full imo, they also bailed out the US’s bourbon industry when we were too busy overpaying for vodka drinks and fortified wine for decades.

              It is not "boomer mindset" to want to be treated with some basic level of courtesy, at least as far as being told to go fuck yourself for requesting a small concession.

                  Is that the case with Dick's restaurant? There was another comment where someone was confusing Dick's restaurant with Dick's Last Resort.

          I'm not saying you have to keep a bunch of extra ingredients on hand. If someone wants an ingredient you don't have oh well. But that's not what this is about, "anything customized" includes removing ingredients.

        It’s a specific part of the appeal of that place, one of their gimmicks is that the staff treat you like shit and fucks with you. It’s very fun when boomers don’t understand that and get mad.

          Is that Dick's restaurants, or Dick's Last Resort in Las Vegas, which doesn't appear to be affiliated with the restaurants? Or do the restaurants do that too just by coincidence?

            Oh I see yes I thought they were the same thing, there’s also a Dick’s Last Resort in Orlando(?) and I assumed with how people were describing it they were the same thing, my bad.

      Owner is still a little porky who opposes new taxes to deal with homelessness and so on.
