I don't see that my wording suggests any of what you interpreted. I left a terse comment that should have been fairly uncontroversial, and others read meaning between the lines that wasn't there. The top response at the time I com

Okay, well then you're a jerk, because you're insulting me for a silly reason. I'm not defending bad behavior. I'm suggesting that we give people the benefit of the doubt rather than assassinate their character based on

That's all fine, and I wouldn't dispute any of that. I'm just surprised at the anger here over a situation where we have essentially no information other than that some guys ate sushi without the rice. If they had the restaur

They're free to use that mechanism, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to the customer. That accomplishes nothing other than wasted food, upset patrons, and credit card disputes.

I've never agreed to that specific deal at any ACYE place. If that's what they want to do, and they're clear about it up front, that's fine. If they're willing to charge a premium for waste, that's less ideal t

You definitely suggested more than that. Then you're reading something I didn't say. If you do that, you should feel guilty. Guilty of what? It's a business, not a charity. If that's where I happen to be stuck having

All I suggested was that they were very quick to demand that people be forcibly ejected based on insufficient information. I'd rather see the restaurant try to solve a problem than arbitrarily punish people, especially when "peopl

That's a problem, but it's not the problem. I'm not sure why you guys are acting like it's an unreasonable suggestion for a sushi restaurant to serve sashimi.

You're arguing against a straw man. I've actually been to events without food options that accommodated my diet, and I've been served meals on planes that included buns and sweets which ended up in the trash. No nukes involve

Sushi restaurants also selling sashimi is "bureaucratic"? That's a strange take.

That's certainly a possibility, but none of us have enough information to say for sure.

I don't eat rice; I've been strictly keto for over a decade. My health choices make me a jerk? Some people are allergic to rice. Some people are on medically prescribed diets. Maybe there's an obscure religion that forbids ea

Kicked out for what? If they want to disincentivize wasting rice, they should charge for leftovers and offer sashimi as an upsell. If they don't, that's on the restaurant.
