Oh, you're one of those. My parents never order what's on the menu. They've always got to customize it. Which is fine. But then they get all bent out of shape when the order isn't right. From a fast food joint. Can't you just order what's on the damn menu?

It's not like they don't have the ingredients.. and I'm expressly asking them to give me less of them, not adding any.

It's not like being pissed off because something isn't in the color I want. Product colors and manufacturing are hard problems... getting a fast food order right isn't.

The problem is the younger generations don't give a damn about their quality of work.
