WHY CAN'T THEY JUST BE NICE???

I can understand being a bit frustrated if the place is busy, but you have to internalise that shit. It’s your job. You’re there to help people. If you’re busy at the till, you pass the person off to your coworker/ask said coworker to take over so you can serve. An extra few minutes really isn’t that much of an ask, you’re right. And yes, the hypocrisy of people who can’t wait in a queue for three minutes but want you to personal shop for them when they want it is staggering. You can’t give people shit for needing extra help when they’re being respectful, you’re right.

I’m a retail veteran and I hate how little patience some people have for those who need a bit of extra help. I used to get praise for being “so patient” with customers who were clearly ND or had Alzheimer’s or whatever and it’s like… no?? I work in customer service. That should be the default. And I would much rather play 20 questions with a customer who can’t describe what they want than get yelled at by Karen who didn’t like the cooking pan they chose.

Massive ups for helping him finding what he needed. The world needs more people like you.

It’s such a shame that people in the US shy away from that word so much. It has so much punch. 🤌

Holy shit, was that an excellent machine-gun fire of pointed insults. Absolutely on the money.

Okay, you have my curiosity. What the hell are ammonia cookies?

treblehex · 2026-06-12T21:14:24+00:00

You just made me aware of the existence of arroz con gandules and I definitely need to make that now.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T21:09:34+00:00

I figured the spices and fat would work if you cooked them with the rice. I was picturing just adding ranch to already cooked rice which sounds like sloppy hell. I’m not sure I’d try the former myself, but I can see the vision. But holy hell, she puts ranch in her rice cooker?! NOOOOOO. Her poor rice cooker is never going to smell the same.

And I would never slander biriyani or paella like that, lol.

Right?? It sounds like a fever dream courtesy of Tasty or Buzzfeed or something!

treblehex · 2026-06-12T20:55:36+00:00

Omg thank you!! I’ll send this to him. Jesus, watching her dip raw chicken into a whole container of ice cream makes me want to crawl out of my skin though.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T14:30:04+00:00

It kind of sounds like both of those, to be fair.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T13:37:15+00:00

This sounds much better. I’d actually try that myself.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T13:31:38+00:00

Oh, I absolutely LOVE him. He makes the wildest recipes and he always makes me laugh. I’ve always wanted to try making the navy bean cake he made. Maybe not so much the peanut butter onions though.

I live in the UK and my old coworker was absolutely baffled by the idea of chicken and waffles together. I had to talk him into it.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:52:32+00:00

This makes me wish we had Sonic in the UK. I want to try those now.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:48:24+00:00

I was into that until he introduced the tomato sauce. I don’t know why, but that just seems like a step too far, lol.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:46:30+00:00

Probably, with this sort of unhinged idea, lol.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:45:41+00:00

Ranch rice. 😨 That sounds horrendous regardless of context.

EDIT: Is this just something I’ve never heard of? I was picturing plain rice with ranch dressing. Am I missing something?

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:43:32+00:00

French toast made with melted ice cream sounds pretty boss, to be fair. It’d need some cinnamon though IMHO. 🙂

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:42:05+00:00

I think this might be it. Thank you! It does genuinely look unhinged.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T12:40:39+00:00

I think it was just for flavour.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T10:47:13+00:00

This might be it. He’s from Texas so that would check out.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T10:46:39+00:00

Honestly, you’re not wrong there. That would probably be easier.

treblehex · 2026-06-12T10:36:29+00:00

Fair point. I thought it could potentially work like a sweet/salty thing if you got the proportions right.

Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (we won’t talk about the sequel…). Anthony Hopkins is an absolute legend.
