    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.
