20 years later I still remember this infuriating customer exchange at mcdonalds. Customer asks for a plain cheeseburger. Bearing in mind that a cheeseburger is 10p more than a hamburger.
"Is that a cheeseburger or a hamburger?"
"Just a plain cheeseburger with nothing on it"
"OK".
Customer comes back 10 minutes later
"there's cheese on that I said nothing on it"
"So a hamburger instead"
"No just a fucking cheeseburger with nothing on it no cheese either are you fucking stupid no fucking wonder you work at mcdonakds you thick fucking prick are you being fucking cheeky?"
My friends. The burger the customer left with was not as plain as it looked.
They will. People tolerate shitloads. They doubly tolerate it if you tell them to think of the children and point out the only reason they could possibly be offended by this is if they were some kind of pedophile.
If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear. Now submit to increasing orwellian surveillance.
Yeah you can see that with trans people. They've always been in kind of danger, and the easy target for the butt of a joke, but they've become a political target seemingly out of nowhere.
I always worry about this. Ive got some specific non-vanilla stuff that I didnt ask for and cant change. Lucky for me its nothing illegal or harmful, just non-standard.
Except there's also a shredder instead of just a photocopier
