    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.

        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.

                  For someone who isn’t invested in this and how this is supposedly not a hill you’re gonna die on, you sure keep coming back to argue lmao. Not even properly saying what I said either that’s crazy.

        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.

          Between spamming and the tone of this comment I think its fair to say you have no business lecturing anyone on polite forms of communications.

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

              Seeing how your reaction to actual debate is to entirely ignore the actual points being made and double down you’ve probably got no business debating either 🤡🤡🤡
