    It’s true, any time you have been slightly inconvenienced in life it was not mere coincidence but rather the targeted action of malicious wage workers against you specifically because they’re definitely that invested in your life.

      The only way to take your revenge is to quit your job and take employment at a minimum wage service restaurant, in an effort to revisit the sleight against all those that have offended you.

      Anyone who does not start working minimum wage service work in this manner is merely faking their outrage for attention.

        Yes and I’m saying maybe instead of coddling the modern sense of cosmic self-importance by acceptance through jest, we should instead maybe tell people to like, grow up?

          I really don’t see your argument here. The humor in the comic is based entirely on the subversion of expectation. Specifically the implicit understanding that these kinds of minor inconveniences are not the product of intent (malicious or otherwise).

            I disagree, the humor in the comic is indulging out irrational feelings that things happen to us as a matter of cosmic consequence. This wouldn’t exist if we didn’t have a stupid internal voice that said to us “they’re doing this to you.”

            It’s “I know this isn’t true, but what if?”

            The problem is, people and psyche are subtle and nuanced, and by even acknowledging that question, even in jest which seems to point to understanding how silly it is, it effectively helps to legitimize said feeling.

            This is the case with a lot of “relatable memes,” tbh.

          (anyone needing a translation of this admittedly fucking awesome sentence:)
          “instead of normalising entitlement with memes”

    There is a sign at Portillo’s (Midwestern hot dog chain) that says something along the lines of, “your number is just an identifier and might not be called in order.”

    Presumably that’s because they give out food in whatever order they’re finished, so 224 is going to go out before 221, 222, and 223 if it’s just, like, a cookie and the others are all full meals for families of four.

    Veggie burger is the issue there. You always get extra wait with veggie options unfortunately.

      Its kinda crazy because in reality its by far the cheapest, but lobbyist groups have pushed so fucking hard for meat that often meat options are cheaper, due to insane inertia and gargantuan subsidies.

      Its not even limited to one country.

      Can confirm. Sometimes I’ll order one, only for them to go check and come back to say “Oh, I guess we don’t actually have any.”

        I’m gluten free due to allergy and the amount of times they say “oh we don’t have the gluten free option” is staggering. I mean I know I should eat at home 99% of the time, but I wanna go out sometimes…

    I want everybody to know that in fast food you are not entitled to a place in line. If you are not physically stuck in the drive-thru line then there’s no real reason to get your food out in exact order. You get your food when it is the most convenient to push out as fast as possible. Sometimes that means somebody ordered before you ordered a way easier meal gets their food first.

        i actually miss the days when you could walk up to the counter at mcdonalds, see what was already made, and order that if you were in a hurry.

            Don’t be embarrassed and lash out, just work on your sense of humor. Unless you want to be dated and cringe, in which case you’re nailing it.

        Well we try to go in order but if your food is still cooking and the guy behind you can get his food hotter now why wouldn’t we do that?

        Well, you are here. But I’m not a incel. I have kids who are grown and one thing is certain. Many of you probably never will. Somehow its funny that some damaged souls think its okay to dump on men because some of them did you wrong. What you do and how you act makes you no different from them. Its funny to me that people like you can’t see it. The person who does these comics is no different from the men she hates. In this context the meaningless downvotes are hilarious.

            Its my interpretation and I say it does. I get treated rudely for just existing these days. I realize there are a lot of assholes out there but I can see the hypocrisy of it all. Few of you help the community as much as I do. Today I help set up five bouncy houses and prepared for a Halloween festival. We had three hundred people there. Served them all pizza popcorn and cotton candy. All of this was prepared by people who care about the world and try to make it a better place. As far as I’m concerned when some clueless fetus starts calling people a incels because my worldview clashes with theirs its really shows they are just like those they hate.

              I’m a cis white male, to the point that I almost look like the “default” male character in video games; I almost never get treatedly rudely and can’t recall a single time that I have when it has had anything to do with my gender.

              If you are getting rude treatment on the regular, I am confident that is has exactly fuck all to do your gender.

    Costco, whole pizzaa take 20 minutes or so, I order then go shopping

    COSTCO: “Order 221”

    me: “do you have 175, it’s pi…”

    COSTCO: “Order 221,222”

    me: “do you have 17…”

    COSTCO: “Order 222”

    I’m not mad, they’re super busy and desperately need to get orders off the counter, but they could at least circle back to me after 221 picked up their order.

    I’ve started ordering a cookie now when i’m done shopping, they make eye contact with me to give me the cookie and I ask them for the pie(s)
