i just had the worst autistic experience at a quick serve restaurant where i was trying to order the “chicken with 2 sides” option, which i was trying to make macaroni and yuca fries.

what the employee SHOULD have said was “yuca fries cannot be chosen for this meal as they are a Specialty Side, and only original sides qualify for this specific meal”. i would have understood perfectly. instead what did she keep repeating to me over and over, getting annoyed when i didn’t understand?

“what it says on the menu and what you’re asking for are two different things”

….. bitch what?????

i damn near cried no matter what i asked she would not explain it to me differently i was ready to give up my order entirely until my mother stepped up to figure it out for me.

catch me making my own food at home for the rest of the WEEK at least

#her service was actually terrible like she was being so mean agsjsbdks and did not give a shit about our food At All #then i asked for a side of sauce and she said ‘you don’t order it’#what she meant was… u don’t pay for it. ask for it when u get ur order. but what do u MEAN???#’can i get mac and cheese and yuca fries with my chicken please’ ‘no.’ ‘um. why’ ‘you can have mac and cheese if you order that’#W HAT?? 😭😭😭#then this bitch ROLLS HER EYES and says lemme try to explain this to u. u can’t order that.#i am literally this close to shutting down WHY CANT I ORDER THAT #finally my mom gets it out of her that i can pick 2 sides yes. from this other section.#i ended up getting a chicken + 1 side and then just… adding a side of yuca #but what the actual fuck #i told my mother after: this is what even regular interactions tend to feel like for me even when the person thinks they’re being clear #like genuinely that was harrowing
