    Or you go out with a friend to do something planned, and they suddenly have a couple extra stops to make or people to talk to etc that weren’t in your social energy budget so you’re left running an unplanned deficit

    I had gone into this Hawaiian BBQ place years ago and loved it. Went back to it recently and the menu was totally different, and the only thing truly Hawaiian BBQ was the spam musubi, which was also just super plain and basic. No sides with anything, there were no complete meals it was like a ala carte Chinese restaurant and the prices were through the roof.

    I just put the menu down and left.

      I hate it when this happens. Happened to a nice pizza place down home once, everything was different, the interior, the staff, the menu. Was basically a whole new place. Haven’t been back.

    Me sometimes when I check the restaurant’s menu on google maps only to realize later the photo of the menu was from 4 years ago.

    it’s fucking baffling how terrible many places are about providing basic information online, half the restaurants either simply have no website or they refer you to a page on facebook that has jackshit information…

    holy shit just put a text document onto github and buy a cheapo domain, PLEASE

      Something that drives me batty is when a restaurant has an Instagram account that’s recommended to me but has no address in the profile. Nope, even if you’re around the corner I’ll never go near you.

    I only ever google a menu if I need info to chose a restaurant (do they have vegetarian options, do they have something other than sea food?, etc) to make sure whomever party I’m inviting will be comfortable

    I never read the menu in advance for me, that’s like reading the plot summary of the movie before going to see it

    I almost always check for the customer menu pictures on Yelp. It’s kind of interesting seeing how the menu visually changes over time…and the prices slowly increase.

      Maybe you wanted a specific thing, so you did research and you found a restaurant with the thing, and you get there and they don’t have the thing. You’ve wasted a trip.

      Is it the end of the world? No. Is it worth leaving the restaurant? No. Is it frustrating? Yes

      Laziness and entitlement.

      As a lifelong food service worker customers do not give a single fuck about how what they do impacts the store at all.

      And even if it’s an upper management issue the employees in the store have to suffer for it.
