    If you’re doing this over pickles, you’re taking turns being Karens.

    EDIT: Wow, some pretty Karen-like reactions to a post arguing for decency. And this on a community that‘s supposedly for relationship advice.

    EDIT 2: Sure is weird, and sad, that so many commenters below think it’s OK to abuse restaurant workers. Good thing they can be blocked. I don’t have to listen to them. feel sorry for the people they inflict their bad attitudes on though.

      How dare people complain about being served the wrong food, they’re acting like they ordered something, payed for it and didn’t get it.

        A decent person would handle the situation differently. In the US anyway food service people are poorly paid. Most are trying their best. A simple request should correct the error. Acting like an entitled jerk unnecessarily hurts them and makes you look bad.

          Nothing about Daisy’s speech bubble indicates she’s yelling. The only emphasis is on “no pickles” and she said excuse me. Context is pretty clear here that just before this Luigi had asked whoever is serving them for his to be with no pickles and was ignored and Daisy is politely, but firmly restating his request.

          You’re the only one ascribing any kind of ill manner to what she’s doing. Nothing that we’re presented with indicates that she is being anything other than polite to whatever wait staff she is interacting with.

                  Important enough for you to leave a face saving comment about how you definitely weren’t wrong and definitely aren’t dying on this hill and it’s actually me that’s silly for finding examples of what I’m taking about lmao 🤡

            Look again…. Her stance, facial expression and the emphasis on no pickles all point to an aggressive approach to a situation that does not warrant it. Have a little sympathy for the person behind the counter, OK?

              So… because she’s a woman and is showing even the slightest bit of irritation at watching Luigi get ignored? Got it.

              I’ve been the person behind the counter, honey. So I say again, I’ve seen the kind of demons the service industry has to offer and this is not one of them. You can be polite and firm at the same time and this is what it looks like.

                PS: Stop trying to make this a sexist thing. It makes you sound sexist. This meme would be just as needlessly aggressive and abusive if the roles were reversed.

                  You’re the one saying there is aggression and abuse here. There’s none of the stylistic choices to the bubbles or lettering that usually indicate yelling. The lettering is consistent and even with only a mild bolding on “no pickles” indicating a very even tone with slight emphasis on the bolded words.

                  Oh no she’s got her hands on her hips and a slightly annoyed expression, but nothing indicating any movement or action. Nothing indicating she’s doing anything more than standing in that position. There’s no lines drawn coming from her mouth indicating she’s yelling, her hands are at her sides very non-aggressively.

                  Literally everything about the context in which this is presented implies that the situation is that she just spoke up calmly but firmly. YOU are the only one ascribing any kind of ill intent to this. Your stated reason? checks notes her stance and her facial expression… and I’m supposed to… not read this as you just saying “Woman Angy… Woman Wrong”

                  Riiiiight.

            If you’re referring to the repeated response, it was done so that each commenter would get it. Not everyone lurks on a post to monitor reactions to other people’s comments.

                Attacking instead of debating the sign of someone with a weak position. I am immune from your consultation.

      Food containing things that you specifically told them not to put in it is a major problem. If people cant trust whats in their food then people with allergies are just not able to eat food outside their home anymore.

            Can’t you say that in a less bitching way?

            Humans make mistakes, no reason to yell at them. If you ask politely they are more likely to help you quickly.

              idk I read it as they hadn’t gotten their food yet and the request for no pickles was ignored as in the server or whoever didn’t acknowledge it had been made. So this was Daisy cutting in and making sure that Luigi was heard.

              Ah yes, “Excuse me, he asked for no pickles” is “bitching,” apparently. I’m sure you have totally normal opinions about women.

        So in a comment thread about people speaking up for themselves and/or others- your advice to someone saying shit you disagree with is to shut up? Interesting take.

      This is lemmy. Nuanced discussion is always met with polarized revisions of your statement to mean shit that is not even close to your original point.

      They do this to trap you into now having to defend yourself against shit you never even said- thereby giving them all the time in the world to lord their smug rhetoric over you and “win” the discussion-

      because most of the people here think those imaginary points have some actual value.
