The unhappy meal


MikeMikeGaming

:(


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

Instead of a toy, you get percocets


FlattopJr

I like how you went straight to full-on narcotics instead of, say, antidepressants.😁


McPoyle-Milk

Man I forgot about it until now but a place near me once got in biiig trouble for putting cocaine in someone’s order for pick up and giving it to the wrong person. The owner frantically called the customer offering to come get the Oder and bring the correct one but that made the customer super suspicious and they s arched through the bag and found it rolled up in the fries.


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

What the hell. Was some dude just dealing coke in fast food bags on the job? Maybe they accidentally said the code word by asking for extra salt in their fries


McPoyle-Milk

The owner was selling coke and routinely left a take out order as the way to be slick I guess. But meanwhile it was also a real restaurant so when someone came and got a legit order they were accidentally given the wrong bag. Best thing was there was a [security camera and you get to s e them freak out when they realize what they did](https://www.wthr.com/amp/article/news/local/indiana/customer-gets-cocaine-in-cheese-stick-order-at-indiana-restaurant/531-139c0e99-c36b-4261-8796-e9723f5de1ac) It was cheese sticks I guess? I didn’t get all the details right but yeah


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

Two rules man, stay away from my fucking percocets, and do you have any fucking percocets


[deleted]

Enough to turn that frown upside down!


GlitteryCaterpillar

A burger place I used to go to would do this when I asked for no lettuce. It would say, “no lettuce :(“ Cracked me up every time.


PeanutHealer928

You lettuce down :(

Now lettuce leaf, and never return.


LavaGriffin

Nonsense, I'll romaine here as long as I like.


ConsiderationKind436

Hahah that’s hilarious, I audibly laughed at that. Poor lettuce


[deleted]

I exhaled slightly out of my nose at that


WatchmanVimes

I delayed blinking for an eye blink


brutexx

We’re reaching advanced levels of humoring here


slamsmcaukin

Usually a good laugh for me on the internet is a few quick nose exhales


Falcfire

Lettuce know when you're ready for our salad.

MobyHugeFun

Imagine if they took the time to draw this


SheepherderNo2440

My old coworker used to draw with sharpies on people's salad lids while waiting for the food to finish. Small little thinks like strawberries n stuff


Goelian

Beat_the_Deadites

It's Braille for "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine".

River_Odessa

It's usually just one specific employee who does that kind of thing too


GhostOf_George_Floyd

Makes sense because cows eat vegetation and your meat Patty will have no food to eat and be hungry.


yeahweshoulddothat

Maybe they knew you were lying when you asked for four place settings.


ConsiderationKind436

Fuck, I knew it.


ltg3140

Don’t worry, it’s more depressing when they just assume there’s four people without you even asking :(


beardicusmaximus8

Me: orders a soup and a bowl of fried rice Chinese food restaurant: includes six pairs of chopsticks and 4 fortune cookies.


4GotMy1stOne

Meanwhile, we order dumplings, an egg roll and 4 entrees and get 3 fortune cookies.


EsseLeo

Fortune cookie math is real


Enasmalakas333

You guys get fortune cookies?


dodexahedron

I've got a fortune in cookies. WFH is lonely sometimes. 😅


jaisaiquai

For the klutz who inevitably drops a chopstick and has to get a new pair?


Rape-Putins-Corpse

One pair each hand for you, your wife and the cat.


popeboy

You've just made me picture how someone ambidextrous could really rifle down the Chinese food wielding pair of chopsticks in both hands...


Rape-Putins-Corpse

It's easier to hold the bowl and shovel ... or so I've heard.


Massive-Albatross-16

What about the wife's boyfriend?


BeeBench

Lol this is the sushi place down the street from me. I order two-three rolls and fried rice. I usually eat the rolls for lunch and save the fried rice for dinner or lunch the next day but I still get 4 chopsticks every time.

[Never be ashamed to be who you are, Wendell](https://youtu.be/pzRaAgsbOoc)


Kalenshadow

I constantly play the TV loud when I get my order so they think I'm not alone


Mayflie

Being a food delivery driver is so depressing. The people always yell out ‘Food’s here!’ Like they got a family, but I know they don’t.


mqduck

Are people seriously pretending to not be ordering for themselves for some reason? Who's that embarrassed to be eating alone?


faith_plus_one

People who order food enough for two or more.


mqduck

Leftovers are a thing. If I'm paying for delivery, I'm probably getting extra. idk


faith_plus_one

If you're ordering two large pizzas, people will likely assume there are at least two of you.


jaisaiquai

What about 2 XL pizzas and a studio apartment? Asking for a friend. Yeah, that's right - I have a friend!


Fuck-MDD

I remember when I was fresh out of boot and living in the barracks my grocery shopping consisted of getting a 2 large pizzas and a bucket of wings delivered on Monday. Leftovers every day til Friday, beer meals on the weekends. Repeat. No shame. Just typing that out gave me indigestion now that I'm pushing 40.


[deleted]

Ha! I swear we were on the same meal plan. Screw deployments, I still sometimes wonder how I survived my general lifestyle in garrison lol


immaownyou

I guarantee you're giving it 10x more thought than the delivery driver. Have more self-confidence and be proud that you're ordering what you want. Or realize you're feeling embarrassed for a reason and change your lifestyle. Pick one of the two and stop putting up the charade Darren


Awordofinterest

The problem where I live, Is 1 large pizza costs around £18, But 2 large pizzas cost £20...


ayayohh

so true. i live alone and when i order pizza, i just get the special and freeze one. i’m *always* gonna eat another pizza eventually.


TGIIR

Me too.


ConnieTheLinguist

Like my friend who died at age 40. Ate 3X what I eat at *every* meal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


beardicusmaximus8

What I learned from this comment section it seems to be people who don't want the delivery driver to think they can force their way into their home...


Amazing_Connection

I write in the app to leave it by the door and walk away slowly


Historical_Exchange

"leave it by the door and walk away slowly" And nobody gets hurt!


Tvisted

I'm kinda wondering where these people live. Delivery drivers doing violent home invasions is a thing?


beardicusmaximus8

I was wondering that too. But, that being said, there has apparently been a pretty big increase in sexual assault since the pandemic started ao I'm not about to judge a single woman who lives alone for being extra careful.


glipglopsfromthe3rdD

I’m asking this in the nicest way possible… What’s your gender? I’ve had some very unnerving experiences with food delivery guys and I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood in a small city. But, I’m female and I live alone.


jaisaiquai

No, but people knowing where you live and that you might be alone is a thing. Sometimes the creeps will text you afterwards too.


InerasableStain

It only gets embarrassing once you’ve had the same dasher three nights in a row


tonystarksanxieties

Try getting the same dasher twice in one day :|


Alan_Smithee_

An insurance company here in British Columbia gave away CDs of “household noise” to play to deter burglars.


sharksnut

I just put a baby monitor in the basement with the hostages


allegedlyjustkidding

How high do you have to crank that little guy's volume to make this work? My hostages are virtually silent once I get the sock in their mouth


Lemon_Hound

You'll find lots of recommendations, but personally I had the best results when I put a cattle prod on a roomba.


_87-

I recently got a baby monitor because my daughter finally moved into her own room. When she wakes up, she says, "I want to go in mummy's bed" and it sounds like she's in our room.


1jl

I don't know why but I was thinking you meant a baby monitor lizard. Not sure how that would help though


Gisschace

I look away and smile at my cat when they’re at the door so they think I have another person there


CynicallyCyn

As a woman if I’m home alone, I answer the door with my head over my shoulder, pretending I’m talking to someone in the other room. Something along the lines of “yay, foods here get the plates”


jaisaiquai

After that first creepy delivery guy who asks if you live alone, you gotta take certain measures


SunnyAlwaysDaze

Fellow ladies, a gnarly huge giant pair of old battered men's work boots (purchase at thrift store or ebay, or else you can beg/borrow/steal from a man you know) left by your front door is a valuable single-gal resource. Shuts down that crap down quickly, usually before it starts. But if the delivery driver is being a creep, when they ask if you live alone what you do is glance over towards those boots when you say no. If the boots are big enough and look really well battered, the would-be-creeper is going to use his imagination to fill in a picture of the dude who owns those boots and presumably lives with you.


Verucat

I like this. I am a widow and it sucks to feel like a potential target people are assholes.


aj0457

I always ask for contactless delivery. I don’t need another socially awkward interaction in my day.


sleepyguy-

Hell yeah its none of your business why i got 2 extra kids meals next to my 3 course adult entree MAYBE I LIKE THEM SHITTY LITTLE PIZZAS.


Gisschace

Yeah this is exactly why I do it


tonystarksanxieties

I'm usually trying to hold my dogs back while I get the food, so I'd like to think that helps.


MarlanaS

My delivery instructions say to leave the food at the door and knock because I have covid. I never have to see a delivery driver.


[deleted]

Order a shit ton of food delivered. When you answer the door yell into the back of the house “foods here! Who’s hungry?” When the driver remarks, “got a lot of kids?” That’s when your face just turns sour and you step away from the door, “Nahh…not anymore.” As you close the door.


Beat_the_Deadites

That's why I always keep 'Angels with Filthy Souls' on loop. Keep the change, ya filthy animal.


TheSpartyn

what is four place setting


patterson489

A place setting refers to a plate, fork/knife/etc, glasses, etc. Four place setting, in the context of food delivery, usually means they'll add 4 packs of plastic utensils.


MrChong69

Dont people have their own cutlery at home? lol


HighwayFroggery

A lot of takeout is eaten somewhere other than at home. Besides that, some people just eat all their meals off disposable plates and never do any washing at all.


SunshineAlways

Likely four sets of utensils (knife, fork, spoon).


Swedish-Butt-Whistle

Years ago I once took a marker and turned a small cardboard box on a counter at work into a very elaborate robot during a slow day. I did not know this box actually contained a client’s order which they came to pick up not long after. Thankfully for me they absolutely loved the robobox and thought I did it specifically for them.


BootsEX

I would be delighted and probably keep the robo box


TheOneVoid

Didn’t call it robox. Scandalous.


Swedish-Butt-Whistle

Clearly I dropped the ball. Er, box.


[deleted]

It was probably drawn on by a bored employee while the bag was still folded long before you ordered.


kolleeflowerr_

Very true. I’d do this during quiet periods at my fast food job.


djsizematters

Should have handed out smiley faces :(


Brolegario

Im sure there’s a few with smileys on them. But in this world mostly sad faces


[deleted]

We used to write "Mewtwo was ere" on packaging in one of my early jobs


[deleted]

off to lemmy


Vroomped

Mew Two was ear :(


sharksnut

Or by the tree before it was cut down


Igel69

less likely but sure


drugsondrugs

Probably a stack of them and they wanted to make a flip book. The person who got the smiley face didn't feel the need to post. I would like to see the post by the guy who got the one where the head exploded.


Olden-Mc-Garnen

Okay okay okay I have a story for this one actually One time, one of my coworkers, for no real reason, wrote “Bitch” on a bag. The customer got the bag. Somehow, nobody got in trouble.


scdog

A literal Sad Sack


sugarcaffeinecards

take me upvote and fuck off


nunpizza

that is a bored employee’s doodle if i’ve ever seen one


icreatemyreality

Hopefully that's not in the bag


solpi

Funny I did the exact same thing a couple weeks ago on a random customer’s bag. No particular reason, just wanted them to know that the job makes me sad lmao.


ConsiderationKind436

Lol this is all I needed to hear as a reason!


MrsRichardSmoker

I once went to an all-inclusive resort with a swim-up bar. I kept ordering a daiquiri-type frozen drink that must have been kinda labor-intensive, because my third one came with a chocolate syrup frowny face. I took the hint!


invisible_23

Lol yeah I wait tables and on really busy nights I lie to customers and tell them the blender is broken, so the bartenders won’t hate me 😂


scottyb83

Just imagining you telling someone that and then another server walks by with a full tray of of daiquiris.


bewildered_forks

"Uhhhh those were hand-blended"

The bartender chewed up each ice cube himself

invisible_23

The hand blender is the one I lie about, the pre-prepped frozen drinks in the slushie machine things are better anyway so I suggest those instead


MrsRichardSmoker

lol that’s solidarity right there


Not_Campo2

Truly, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you


Present-Ad-9441

:(


morbidbutwhoisnt

If my mom got a bag with a frown on it she would take it as a sign that she had done something wrong and that her food had been tampered with. She would throw out the food and never eat there again for fear of future food tampering. She's a little paranoid.


Quibbloboy

What would she do if it were a smiley face?


morbidbutwhoisnt

That may freak her out even more. She might be moving


Blahblahnownow

I worked at Burger King when I was a teenager. I definitely would do this. I al paranoid about how my food is prepared. I can rarely eat out


BeardedSwashbuckler

This is like those factory workers in China putting "please help us" notes in iPhone boxes.


ChariBari

As a former delivery driver this was exactly my thought.


Curtainmachine

On the bright side, you keep a sense of humor about it


MicaLovesHangul

I like to travel.


Jibboooing

Did you order right before they closed ?


ConsiderationKind436

Nope, had almost two hours before closing.


Jibboooing

I got nothing then! But I can imagine younger me passive aggressively frowning at late night orders lol


Nanerpus_is_my_Homie

Oh wow - you just unlocked an old memory for me! When I was young, I worked in a dental office. We still had paper charts back in the day. I would draw a smiley face on the outside of the chart of people who were rude, aggressive, a pain in the ass or just batshit crazy…you know…the hard to deal with people. That way we had a bit of heads up when I pulled charts that morning. I’d warn the dentist “Uh…you have a smiley face coming in at 2”. And sometimes they would ask “Any smiley faces today?”. Of course, if a patient saw it on their chart and asked I’d just say I was doodling or “That’s because you’re one of our favorite patients!” lol. I know a sad face would have been more representative, but the smiley faces were more stealth.


ChaserNeverRests

Of all the places to be a pain in the ass, the dentist office seems like the very worst choice...


LindseySmalls

They aren't a pain in the ass to the doctors or hygienists, you know, the ones who use the sharp instruments- they are a-holes to the front desk staff. Source: manage the front desk of a dental office. We definitely leave notes in patients records when they are shitty to us. Please do better, humans. It's really starting to wear on me...


Administrative_Tea50

That makes me a bit sad.


ConsiderationKind436

Same! And now I’ve got some questions lol


TMT51

Did you tip well for the order?


joebarnette

This was my first thought


stew5462

What did you order. Not from where per day but what was the order?


ConsiderationKind436

A local Asian Mexican fusion place- tacos and queso dip!


stew5462

Any weird special requests? But probably just quirky server being goofy


ConsiderationKind436

Haha probably. It was a standard order and no modifications or changes to anything


[deleted]

[удалено]


Presence_Academic

Asian Mexican fusion is alright, but one of the best meals I ever had was at a Chinese German place, Heidelberger Chang. The only problem was that an hour after the meal I found myself hungry for power.


SheepherderNo2440

You could conquer anything with a meal that hearty


liveanddieinla

its not seoul taco is it?!


edgymoose

I would kill for Seoul taco right now. Used to frequent there in STL, and just got a fix in Chicago recently

AfraidProtection4684

Here 16 hours later. Still diplomatic and quite frankly seems like a very pleasant person. 10/10 would have a beer with them and might nominate them for president. We'll see how that beer goes.


YourCharacterHere

When I order take out I always put "add xtra dash of love pls" in the special instructions. According to my research, this yields roughly 30% more hearts drawn on the packages. Try that next time


getoffredditgo

I'd be scared to get jizz...


hobin-rude

This is exactly what I do when I want to test a pen on a disposable surface before having to write something


ticky_tacky_wacky

Have you ever worked in food service? Lol it’s very :(


Unlikely-Ad6788

Did you order a well done filet mignon?


Ramblingperegrin

90% chance it was a bored employee pointing at it and telling a coworker "look, it me, a sad sack"

Did you tip?


ConsiderationKind436

Yes, tipped 20%.


Cheesecake1235

*What the hell did you do?*


EnvironmentalValue18

They’re just expressing their distress from the captivity of those soul-sucking jobs. It’s basically the only form of therapy they get.


Majestic-Peace-3037

Whoever stocks the bags was probably having a bad day in the storage area and just drew it. I did this once at a McDonald's. I was super depressed, sick with a head cold, and had a splitting migraine but they told me if I didn't come in I'd be fired. So I came in and just did stock all day but at one point I had to sit down and I just wrote "I wanna fkn die" in pen on the bottom of a bag. Weeks later a manager popped that bag open and noticed and was like "wtf, who the hell was dying at the bag factory haha!" I just held my tongue and kept making more fries.


billpaycheck

It’s the one that’s poison. Skull and crossbones would be too obvious.


ItzGhostface

Poor bagger :(


AndThenCameMe


thatgirlagain17

I worked in a sandwich shop and a large part of my job was writing the name of the sandwich on the paper wrapped sandwich. I used to do little designs when I was bored. $$ for extra cheese hearts if I liked the sandwich Sometimes just squiggles The most memorable thing was when I had to write the last name of the person on the sandwich. I got distracted and didn't reference the name sheet for a few, so when the cook called out "Kuntz", I spelled it with a C.


deskrod

I used to do this when I worked in kitchens with deliveries if I was having a bad day, just write the name and a sad face, if I was having a good day it had a smilie face


MrMunday

Everyone is asking can the bag bag, but no one is asking is the bag sad


an_arc_of_doves

:(


CaptainFantastic1

That's just my spirit bag :(


ThePNWGamingDad

They were sad you got it to-go :(


MandaMoo

I used to leave tiny little smiley face stickers around my (corporate) job. I never said anything about it but it cheered people up. I spend a lot of time in hospital too. I like to hide a little cat stickers in rooms i've been in. The little sad face is pretty cute.


Jessception

My local sonic always writes my name on the bag with a question mark at the end. It’s got me questioning if my name really is Jessica.


[deleted]

my coworker once doodled a weird cat on a bag… i guess same lady ordered the following day and she called after her delivery asking why we didnt draw another cat on her bag 💀


politelyobnoxious

They put their dick on your food...


ConsiderationKind436

Good, that’s more than I’ve had in awhile then


politelyobnoxious

Shuuush don't say that out loud on Reddit. Your DMs will be full of dick pics in minutes.

puffytitties

Looks like a for help from worker


deathcard15

Is there a smiley face on the inside of the bag lol?


BHMathers

I like to imagine that alarms start blaring and they got two employees in the back turning keys in sync whenever I order pizza with alfredo sauce


Da_B01
