i dropped by my local bahn mi joint for lunch today mostly so i could tell them that their website had completely stopped taking takeout orders less than $15. like you can’t even say you’ll pay cash, it just flat rejects it. apparently only for takeout, too

I have changed my ordering take out strategy to simplify calling the phone number of the place I want to order food from.

every online ordering thing has its own special hostile UX. if its not adding $2.00 to the listed price of every item then its defaulting to 30% tips or outrageous takeout fee’s or some other nonsense. every single time.

I dont have it in me to memorize every single gotcha while ordering takeout. calling is easier than not.

When I order food to be delivered to my door it's because I don't want to interact with another living being. Having to talk to a stranger without visual cues for how the conversation is going is the absolute last thing I want to do.

My only recourse is to only order online from places that have pickup service and enter the establishment with a hoodie and big headphones and pay without making eye contact.

almost all of the places i actually care about eating from are run by people with thick accents. in person it's fine, but on the phone some combination of their accent, poor audio quality, and my lovely ears combine to make it pretty difficult. it's fine if you're eating at the restaurant, but phone orders are a big no for me. if i cut out all those places, i'm left with just pizza and mexican basically

How was that supposed to work? Isn’t that just a bunch of PR stuff or is there money involved?

hot water has become an option because drinking cold water is unpleasant and uncommon in China and many other Asian societies.

my wife is from hk and her (and her fam) get fussy guts if they drink cold water after eating hot (esp. oily) food. hot water it is

more common a request these days but when we first started dating and she came to east coast canada she would get some weird reactions from waitstaff
