Is it entitled to ask for substitutions or modifications to your meal?
Would you eat at a "no exceptions" restaurant?

It's good to have standards in that you don't waiver, but I deserve to be waivered to if I'm going to pay you money if I don't want something you want me to pay money for.

no

no

Yes.
>Would you eat at a "no exceptions" restaurant?
Yes.

If I am provided this unprompted tantrum of passive aggressive shit instead of two words "No substitutions" then I will go elsewhere. Simple as.

>>21404175 (OP)
It depends on the request. If you want to leave out or add more of an ingredient in a dish that's made to order then it's not entitled whatsoever. On the other hand, if you ask for clam chowder without any clams then you should be thrown out of the restaurant.
When it comes to allergies, you deserve to be told what allergens are in a dish if you ask but a small amount of allergenic food will do nothing but make your shit a little less solid in 99 percent of cases.

I have no problem with no substitutions, but no modifications makes me think they preprepare every meal

>>21404210
This

this must be fake. the background of the menu looks like somebody's hairy legs

>>21404217
Anon, I hate to break this to you but there's these things called "prep cooks." They're cooks solely employed to pre-cook everything that's going to be prepared for the menu that service. They parboil pasta, pre-cook the meats and, perhaps surprisingly, put everything into the fridge when they're done.

The ""chef"" of the restaurant, unless you're going to a very high end locale, will be doing nothing more than searing or reheating your "meal".

>>21404232
That may be the case at a shit restaurant. I don't go out often, but when I do I can see the chefs literally making everything to order. Sure, they may make the popular stuff in batches and stuff like pasta, rice, sauces, and bread are usually made before the restaurant even opens to the public but no place worth going to does what you're talking about.

>>21404210
I'd be willing to write it off as harmless autism if the food is good

>>21404175 (OP)
yes
also yes

>>21404175 (OP)
It's entitled but the owners of this restaurant are just as entitled. Just fucking write "no substitutions" and be done with it.

>restaurant
It's a food truck lmao

>>21404232
That's not what prep cooks do. Primarily, they cut things, portion things, make purees, etc. so the chefs can cook to order at a reasonable pace. Some things might be par-cooked (meaning *partially* cooked/boiled/baked), mainly pasta, but "pre-cooking" is something reserved for slop-houses/soon-to-be-failed-'restaurants.'

>>21405029
Thats fucking worse

>>21404175 (OP)
If it's a slow night and you are paying extra, why not?

>Would you eat at a "no exceptions" restaurant?
Only if I can see the menu before stepping foot in the restaurant, and can guarantee there's at least one item I'd actually fucking eat. Some restaurants think everything needs to have way too many fucking ingredients, and that a sandwich without mayo is wrong. I don't bother eating at these places.

In fact, there's a reason I cook most of my own meals anyways, and it's not just a matter of price.

A plate of chicken parmesan from Jennifer's picnic. With no substitutions or alterations to the order BTW.

>>21407301
Woops

"no substitutions", that's fine
this shit is like one of those passive aggressive shoplifting signs that, if anyone else is like me, causes theft out of spite

>>21407293
So it's a fucking food truck? They make it sound like they have a Michelin star

>>21404210
>unprompted tantrum
t. never worked service
if you think they just one day decided to open a restaurant and also included a multi-paragraph explanation for fun, you're delusional
obviously they got asked for substitutions time and time again until they had to go autismo mode

>>21407303
thats horrifying

Honest question -- Is it really a massive pain when someone asks for 'no onions' or whatever? I had no idea it was a big inconvenience for them to just leave out an ingredient.

>>21407542
let's say your soup was reduced for 4 hours with onions
someone comes in and asks for no onions because they are allergic to aliums
you explain to them that the soup already has onions in it
they just ask you to make some soup without the onions
you explain to them again that the soup was cooked with onions and it took 4 hours to reach the end product
they get mad and say well why don't you have a non-onion version then?
this might sound unreasonable, but this is exactly the kind of bullshit retards say, like they cannot fully process that things take time to cook and they don't just have a subway deli line of ingredients to throw together at any given time

>>21407545
>you explain to them again that the soup was cooked with onions and it took 4 hours to reach the end product
For me, this would be the "Oh okay, nevermind," moment.

Let me be honest: People in every industry think the finer points of their work are self evident, and anyone unfamiliar with them must be stupid. Your line about "they cannot process that things take time to cook" is an example of that insufferable car salesman attitude towards some innocent old lady, 'She thinks the can get *those options* at *this price point*? I told her to get the fuck out of my dealership,' like nigga nobody gives a fuck about your job, nobody thinks about your job, you're insignificant, your job is insignificant, and if you respond with this degree of arrogance when someone outside of your industry asks a question that reveals ignorance about your workflow, then you're the one who acts entitled, not them.

>>21407565
and you're the reason they have to write out a mutli-paragraph explanation rather than just "no substitutions," getting heated and condescending because they did or said something that wasn't up to an arbitrage approval
rational people don't view themselves as the exception to every rule and don't get combative when someone tells them no, especially when it's a voluntary transaction

>>21407487
Yes. They are some run down food truck in the middle of nowhere Canada that specializes in deep fried meat. Their policy on allergies and substitutions was entirely made up to generate media attention by the local news to get more customers.

>>21404175 (OP)
>Is it entitled to ask for substitutions or modifications to your meal?
Yes. But you're entitled to request modifications within reason, because you're paying for a service.
>Would you eat at a "no exceptions" restaurant?
Depends.
It's expected that staff can't modify anything at a buffet. But here I get the impression that they're just reheating frozen meals, hence why they frame modifications of any kind as unfeasible or impossible.

>no allergies/medical dietary restrictions
>not a picky eater
>do not have autistic food preferences
of course I have no problem with a "no substitutions" policy, it's (usually) a sign that the kitchen takes pride in their work and has put care into the menu

if you can't list the allergen information, it's because you don't know what's in it

>>21404175 (OP)
i'd take the allergen info off and put peanuts in everything without telling the customer. allergycucks should be killed.

Read my post again.

Nobody expects restaurants to accommodate every request, but being condescending and abusive to people merely for asking is crazy. There's a pattern of people working in shit hole industries (restaurants, car dealerships) acting all superior whenever a normal person doesn't know something about their job. It's low class, low IQ behavior.

>Is it entitled to ask for substitutions or modifications to your meal?
like most things in life, it depends. "I don't want tomatoes in my garden salad" is acceptable, "I don't want gluten in my breaded pork chops" is not.

>Would you eat at a "no exceptions" restaurant?
sure, because I almost never want or need an exception

>>21408122
retard that can't abstract 4chan post etiquette from real world behavior
do you also envision a canadian psychiatrist sitting across from you when someone on the internet tells you to kill yourself

A "no exceptions" restaurant means it serves premade, frozen slop trays and the illiterate immigrant "cook" doesn't know what's even in the thing it's heating up in a microwave

>>21407654
