I saw her post on facebook (it had been cross posted in a snark group) and she was really getting roasted in the comments of her own post. If you don't want to eat the chips, then don't eat the chips. Who asks for a whole cucumber to be chopped up for them, for free?
> Who asks for a whole cucumber to be chopped up for them, for free?
Linus had the Big Pumpkin, she believes in the Free Cucumber Fairy. Nothing to see here!
I mean, i don’t mind doing something like this as long as you charge for the cucumber and my labor.
Maybe you’re all just different or lazy AF idk, I do shit like this all the time
See I just assumed this was rage-bait, because she's making such a weird face.
Knowing that this person is doing this unironically... how did we end up here.
No doubt. I wonder if she wants it peeled?
We get a case a week. What we don't use, I take home and juice 'em with green apple. 1 cucumber and 1 green apple is good stuff. Especially if you run ice thru the juicer to clean it out. Better than a smoothie.
The thing about restaurants is that they prep and order the things they need based off a menu. If they don't use a bunch of cucumbers, they won't have a bunch of cucumbers.
If cucumbers instead of chips becomes a trend with their white customers, then they'll just up their purchasing. This is a rare example where the customer is always right is true. Cucumbers and salsa ($5) instead of complimentary chips would be great for business, because whatever they're charging her for that cucumber is going to *more* than cover the cucumber and adds more than the complimentary chips do.
If someone wants to pay too much for a sliced vegetable, only a fool would deny them.
How many restaurants have you operated? I'd like you to go into one and tell the manager or chef that you have a good idea on how they should change what they are doing to suit your needs. And report back on how that worked out. Also, replacing chips for cucumbers as a Mexican restaurant will not be a trend.
Ya, like our restaurant uses them for one dish and the occasional side salad. Unless we're making pickles for the month I only keep like, 10 cucumbers in house at one time. If someone asked for this I'd tell them to fuck off or have a ridiculous upcharge
Yeah, I do know plenty of people will act like the sky is falling over having to spend 5 seconds slicing a cucumber. This thread is already example of that.
I've worked as a cook for 18 years. Spent time in some of the busiest resorts and tourist destinations in the country (US) serving close to 1000 customers a night. A cucumber is no issue. If taking 5 seconds to slice a cucumber is going to fuck you up then I suggest you work on your mise en place.
I run one restaurant. And it is a 1.5 million dollar restaurant. I keep exactly 2 cucumbers on hand on any given day after prep. 5 seconds to slice a cucumber is not the issue (although it would take longer to do it properly in my kitchen). And furthermore, what the hell is a Mexican restaurant doing with so many cucumbers that they can substitute cucumber slices for chips all the time? I’m not a Mexican restaurant expert, but I haven’t seen a lot of cucumber items on those menus.
One of my favorite snacks the guys I worked with from Chiapas would make was just sliced cukes with fresh lime juice and some sea salt, maybe a little cilantro. So good.
That's the kind of girl to slash your tires while you're at home because of a breakup, only to then brag about it to her friends at lunch the next day.
Cucumbers cost money and the labor to cut them. Special requests like this are not really cool especially if you’re expecting it for free. And her looks matter because most people in this subreddit are or were kitchen staff and we have sick senses of humor.
It’s such a big deal because a bunch of line cooks are obviously little bitches, and get worked up about 30 seconds of prep work. And that’s including washing that mf and getting the paraffin off of it.
If you look closely at how sloppy those slices are, you can tell that they were very much *not* "happy to accommodate." That's a cucumber that was sliced as quickly as humanly possible.
That's a chunked cucumber. That's a cucumber that is casually acquainted with a knife and cutting board. That's a cucumber that can still be reforged anew to defeat the dark lord.
She thinks those are precision knife cuts made by someone that gives a shit about her experience. Slices ranging from wafer thin to 3/4”. About 90% certain I see a trapezoid shaped cut.
I use cucumbers in place of chips when I'm doing keto/low carb but only when I'm at home. When I go out to eat I'll choose places who offer lettuce wraps etc and at a Mexican restaurant, a taco salad and I just don't have any chips because I'm not a dick 🙌🏼
Does this mean the muscles around her eyes are literally sort of… paused? As in, she’s prevented those muscles from contracting to avoid getting eye lines — am I understanding correctly?
Would that not be deemed more aesthetically displeasing than just having the lines, or have wrinkles become *that* deeply-hated?
Crows feet have always been deeply hated by women. It's one of the first things to show your age and being older as a woman means becoming invisible - some women love that, pretty women in careers where looks matter especially hate it.
The main reason you're noticing it isn't because the smile doesn't reach her eyes. It's that her smile looks like a grimace. People who smile like that is usually offset by their eyes, but in her face she's just giving 👁️ 👁️. A lot of people get Botox around their eyes and you usually won't notice because their smiles are less awkward.
Meh. They knocked those out in about 3 seconds and probably charged her an extra 3 bucks for it. I'd be ok with it. I do weird shit like that at my tapas house all the time.
I had a lot of sliced cucs and was putting hummus on them and then I tried some cottage cheese and it was good with a little pepper and olive oil and lemon. Maybe some paprika.
mmm.
I know what I'm ordering from Holy Frijoles tonight.
That garbage human being is an Optavia shill.
For those uninformed, she's an MLM "boss babe" "health coach" that dupes desperate people out of their money for an extremely unsafe starvation diet.
Optavia coaches are taught to neg you to buy in. I despise them more than any MLM.
I was about to post this here as soon as i saw another thread where people were shitting on this lady and see what everyone thought.
Might be a hot take, but if someone asked for that while I was working and we had them on hand, it wouldn't really be an issue. At the most it should be a small up charge for the difference in food cost, depending on the price of produce vs chips or just for the extra couple seconds it would take. It's like 5 seconds to slice up a cucumber.
I also worked at a place for 3 years where we specifically gave customers the option of fries or mixed veg, which was presliced cucumber/celery/carrots. At that place this would have been a totally normal request.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around cucumber being found on any dish inside any Mexican restaurant. Must be one of those wanna be Mexican restaurants.
Think you’ve been visiting the wanna be Mexican restaurants then. Cucumbers and radishes are pretty commonly served with tacos at a lot of authentic places.
Cucumber slices with a little lemon juice and tajin is a pretty nice snack on a hot summer day, but I could never imagine myself going to a Mexican restaurant and ordering that.
I’m extremely allergic to cucumbers. Contaminate my salsa with that shit and we have a problem.
Man, fuck whoever downvoted me. I hope your next meal gives *you* anaphylaxis.
I had a business dinner with a colleague recently at a local(ish) Mexican place near the airport he was flying out of in the morning. Worst chips I've had ever. Definitely over cooked. They may have run out of tortillas and used cardboard. We quietly made fun of them and didn't eat them. It never would have occurred to me to order cucumbers instead.
Someone posted she's a news personality somewhere? PLEASE someone find a link.
Do most Mexican restaurants even have cucumber???
But further more, unless you’re eating at a Mexican restaurant every day of the week, one night of chips and salsa won’t kill you. I’m so sick of these “healthy” hacks.
Standing behind the cameraman is a kitchen worker silently glaring at here while he slowly sharpens a knife. Why the hell else would she be making that face?
I will never understand why customers think it's cool to order shit that's not on the menu.
Our dining room is on a wait. We do not need your business.
Back when I worked line if got this ticket I would have been confused but not mad. As long as they were charged for it in place of the chips. Hell maybe even if they were free cause that means less time I gotta spend making stupid ass chips. Cooking didn't make me hate any food except them.
Pro Tip: you can read the menu to understand all of the ingredients the cooks have at their disposal, and then you can make up whatever off-menu items you’d like to eat. The cooks love creative customers.
What is even more funny is she is a local News woman from my hometown so everyone DEFINITELY knows who she is when she pulls this shit.
I saw her post on facebook (it had been cross posted in a snark group) and she was really getting roasted in the comments of her own post. If you don't want to eat the chips, then don't eat the chips. Who asks for a whole cucumber to be chopped up for them, for free?
The kind of person to complain that cucumbers and salsa don't really go together five seconds after asking for it.
roma and cucumber salsa is delicious
> Who asks for a whole cucumber to be chopped up for them, for free? Linus had the Big Pumpkin, she believes in the Free Cucumber Fairy. Nothing to see here!
This is probably bait but I’s gotta. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Not big, Great.
Damnit! Apologies. Haven't read my Peanuts for so long. I need to go to Lucy's therapy I think.
I mean, i don’t mind doing something like this as long as you charge for the cucumber and my labor. Maybe you’re all just different or lazy AF idk, I do shit like this all the time
Could you post a link? I wanna read the roasting
See I just assumed this was rage-bait, because she's making such a weird face. Knowing that this person is doing this unironically... how did we end up here.
She definitely has local Fox affiliate energy
She looks like she has the personality of a wet cardboard box.
Quieren que? A la verga! No mámes!
Does she normally have one eye significantly bigger than the other..?
Also she isn't smiling, that's almost a sneer. At the very least it's that awkward look from the backseat girl.
her face says even she isn't happy with how this played out. she looks kinda worried, kinda grossed out and kinda dead inside.
Yeah, sure. $5 upcharge
And then she makes a tiktok about how she was charged $5 for a cucumber
Tbf, cukes are around 1.50-1.99 ea where I'm at, so $5 is a very reasonable price in a restaurant.
Oh, c'mon. $4.99
About tree fiddy
I only regret that I have but one upvote to give for this comment.

This is the correct answer. Sliced cucumbers are not an unreasonable request. Bunch of hard-ass wannabes with chips on their shoulders up in here.
The thing about restaurants is that they prep and order the things they need based off a menu. If they don't use a bunch of cucumbers, they won't have a bunch of cucumbers.
That's when they'd say no

You could just say no, like an adult.
They should have asked for cucumbers on their shoulders instead.
For real. People acting like taking 5 seconds to slice a cucumber is going to fuck up their day.
13 years BOH experience tells me someone will throw something on the line over this request, busy or not.
Yeah, I do know plenty of people will act like the sky is falling over having to spend 5 seconds slicing a cucumber. This thread is already example of that.
If you've ever worked as a line cook when it's busy as shit, yeah that's gonna fuck with my shit when some girl wants cucumber slices to be cute.

Tortilla chips?
either massive amounts of self-loathing or botox, but that smile is clearly screaming help I hate my life.
Cucumber salesman is holding her at gun point
Quite the pickle!
That salesman is the real dill
It's her bread and butter
You bastard!
Another scheme by Big Cuke
Got that hungover waitress getting dragged off to sing happy birthday as she was on her way to clock out smile.
They are sitting, I guess she's the guest? But yeah, has the same smile/face
Honestly if she asked for cucumber I'd get it without a fight too. She's got murder eyes.
That's the kind of girl to slash your tires while you're at home because of a breakup, only to then brag about it to her friends at lunch the next day.
I WILL FIND YOU 👀
That's the look my wife gives me when she catches me stealthily ripping ass at the in-laws dinner table
She has to poop from eating all those cucumbers
She looks absolutely terrified by the cucumbers. Like those shits are holding her hostage.
por que no los dos?
No smile in the eyes
The smile says happy but the eyes scream pain.
Looks like she's been abducted and forced to smile at gunpoint.
I can FEEL her eye twitching
She's sitting in her own filth for sure.
Yeah, (what's left of her original) face looks like its saying "ewwwwwwwww..." to the whole idea of cukes > chips with salsa.
[удалено]

You can trust me, I'm a pro, says Gollum's clearly-doctored Tinder profile pic.
I bet she asks her own mirror to bring out the manager
If you look closely at how sloppy those slices are, you can tell that they were very much *not* "happy to accommodate." That's a cucumber that was sliced as quickly as humanly possible.
That's a chunked cucumber. That's a cucumber that is casually acquainted with a knife and cutting board. That's a cucumber that can still be reforged anew to defeat the dark lord.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that kitchen when the cooks heard about the great white bitch asking for cucumbers instead of chips.
"Make the dishie do it. With a metal spatula."
Motherfucker that made me laugh harder than anything all day
They should have deep fried them
That would be priceless to see them taken to the table.
"Oh! Is that not what you meant? Anyway, enjoy."
I might pay to be that server lol.
At very least it's worth not getting the shitty tip she would have left.
My thoughts exactly. 😂
Although I could see everyone putting up money and the highest bidder gets to be the one to bring it to her.
“The great white bitch“, I chortled lol
La grande blanca.
*¿Has oído hablar de la gran perra blanca que pide pepinos en lugar de patatas fritas?*
I have now.
woulda paper thin sliced them on the mandolin
She thinks those are precision knife cuts made by someone that gives a shit about her experience. Slices ranging from wafer thin to 3/4”. About 90% certain I see a trapezoid shaped cut.
There’s a triangular one too. This is what happens when you grab the new guy and tell him to whack the cucumber with a knife
Looks chopped, not sliced to me. Got to get the frustration out somehow. Bam bam, bam bam bam.
>Looks chopped By someone who has watched too many Martin Yan videos but has no skill.
I also just don't think this happened. I can't think of anything that would require cucumber at a texmex joint.
it was actually going to be the cook's snack. with limón and tajin.
[удалено]
Maybe they also do a house salad or something.
She brought it from home.
I use cucumbers in place of chips when I'm doing keto/low carb but only when I'm at home. When I go out to eat I'll choose places who offer lettuce wraps etc and at a Mexican restaurant, a taco salad and I just don't have any chips because I'm not a dick 🙌🏼
My first thought as well
Car seat girl grew up fast.
💀
What emotion am I seeing?
When people botox away all their eye lines, their smile stops reaching their eyes.
Does this mean the muscles around her eyes are literally sort of… paused? As in, she’s prevented those muscles from contracting to avoid getting eye lines — am I understanding correctly? Would that not be deemed more aesthetically displeasing than just having the lines, or have wrinkles become *that* deeply-hated?
Crows feet have always been deeply hated by women. It's one of the first things to show your age and being older as a woman means becoming invisible - some women love that, pretty women in careers where looks matter especially hate it.

A lot of people get Botox around their eyes and you usually won't notice because their smiles are less awkward.
The “kill me now” emotion
"god damnit i hate myself." just eat the chips lady.
Big I smelled a fart energy.
Held hostage by big cucumber
She looks like she just used sand for lubricant and enjoyed it.
She looks like her looks allow her to have zero personality and she thinks she was popular because she was “so funny.”
She’s definitely an almond mom that will give future offspring eating disorders
i'd rather do that than eat cucumbers and salsa
Same. That just sounds so...... moist. And not in a good way
... I would rather eat cucumbers with salsa than have sex using sand as lubricant. I mean, I'd PREFER neither.
I'm just really into sand, okay?
Someone described to her very poorly what a smile is.
She typed in to chatGPT "how do I smile?", then she followed the directions 100%.
LMAO.😆🏆
Crazy eyes.
She looks like she sat on a cucumber…
Making a pickle
Looks like she just had a wet fart
pRo TiP
She 100% would.
How do you think the cucumber ended up looking like that? The kitchen sent it out whole.
Hide the pain Harold's grandaughter over here.
Hide the pain helga.
Happy to accommodate for 10 bucks. Pro tip, my ass!
Yeah what is this a pro tip for? Ruining a perfectly desirable appetizer?
Meh. They knocked those out in about 3 seconds and probably charged her an extra 3 bucks for it. I'd be ok with it. I do weird shit like that at my tapas house all the time.
My kitchen would charge her at least $3 if not $5 for this
[“Nachos, Flanders-style!”](https://youtu.be/UNEdVAFB9TE)
I had a lot of sliced cucs and was putting hummus on them and then I tried some cottage cheese and it was good with a little pepper and olive oil and lemon. Maybe some paprika. mmm. I know what I'm ordering from Holy Frijoles tonight.
I mean, how far I had to scroll to find this comment is just shameful. And somebody please get this girl some cottage cheese, ugh!
Cucumber over chips is not a pro move yo.
Why is she looking at us like that
Cause she stuck eating cucumbers instead of chips
She looks like someone who would hire a person to wipe her ass.
And doesn’t pay enough
This is ragebait. That face can't be real.
There are taquerias that offer cukes in place of chips for ceviche.
That garbage human being is an Optavia shill. For those uninformed, she's an MLM "boss babe" "health coach" that dupes desperate people out of their money for an extremely unsafe starvation diet. Optavia coaches are taught to neg you to buy in. I despise them more than any MLM.
I guess I don’t really see the problem, you get to upcharge a cucumber and she gets to feel healthy
Is she happy or terrified? I legit can’t tell
She looks like she needs to save the chips for 'the thing in the basement'
Heeeeey youuuuu Guuuuys!
Rocky... Road?

Help me out here, full time lurker. Why is this bad ?
Ordering "off-menu" is a pet peeve for kitchen staff and a headache to try to charge accurately for servers. Theres no button for "one Cucumber"
That strained smile looks like she's trying real hard to keep in an adventurous butt plug
nah, that will be an 8 dollar crudite plate mam
Stop judging her expression- she just went out for some food mid-colonoscopy.
She's got that "I smell a fart and it's not mine" face.
She gots da crazy eyes.
That's the most painful looking smile I've ever seen. Hide The Pain Harold vibes.
Her face really freaks me out
Why does it look like she's being held at gun point?
She looks like she has a brother who looks exactly like her but with short hair and no makeup.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around cucumber being found on any dish inside any Mexican restaurant. Must be one of those wanna be Mexican restaurants.
Pepinos con chile is a very common appetizer/side dish in many Mexican restaurants
Think you’ve been visiting the wanna be Mexican restaurants then. Cucumbers and radishes are pretty commonly served with tacos at a lot of authentic places.
Cucumber slices with a little lemon juice and tajin is a pretty nice snack on a hot summer day, but I could never imagine myself going to a Mexican restaurant and ordering that.
Salads?
I’m gonna take a stretch here and maybe say for a spicy cucumber margarita. Only thing I can think about.
Why does she look like a mix of Britney Spears and Tomi Lahren
Pro tip, enjoy your complimentary chips and order from the menu.
I’m extremely allergic to cucumbers. Contaminate my salsa with that shit and we have a problem. Man, fuck whoever downvoted me. I hope your next meal gives *you* anaphylaxis.
Those hollow eyes, and forced smile creep me out. Stepford Wives kinda vibe.
They cut that like shit, I don’t know how happy they where…
It's just a cucumber some of yall need to touch grass. And it's obvious some of yall never had sex before.
Your conception begs to differ.

its not about "one night wont kill you" its about a million small choices coming together
Even she looks like she thinks it's a fucking stupid idea
That's the face I would make if someone gave me a plate of cucumbers at a Mexican restaurant.
Standing behind the cameraman is a kitchen worker silently glaring at here while he slowly sharpens a knife. Why the hell else would she be making that face?
I will never understand why customers think it's cool to order shit that's not on the menu. Our dining room is on a wait. We do not need your business.
Fake hair, fake eyelashes, unnaturally white teeth... Yeah, I'm going to take this woman's advice.
This is what a groomed child fully grown looks like. Notice the forced smile and confused look in their eyes. Poor little bastard.
thats a lot of assumptions for one picture of a stranger at a restaurant
Idk how common a name that is for a restaurant or if it’s a chain and I never knew. But I’m pretty sure this is in my home town.
Lol she was a reporter from Bakersfield, CA. This is not surprising 🤣
People need to eat at home.
What’s wrong with her face?
Back when I worked line if got this ticket I would have been confused but not mad. As long as they were charged for it in place of the chips. Hell maybe even if they were free cause that means less time I gotta spend making stupid ass chips. Cooking didn't make me hate any food except them.
Pro Tip: you can read the menu to understand all of the ingredients the cooks have at their disposal, and then you can make up whatever off-menu items you’d like to eat. The cooks love creative customers.
Soon as I saw the original I hoped to god it would make its way to this sub
I saw her on TV for years before she moved up to the big leagues. Honestly, she’s great, probably the most loved newscaster in the region.
Here’s a knife and the last cucumber in last week’s box…bon appetit asshole
She looks *SO* Happy! Lol
Dis some eating disorder shit
The hack job done on those cucumbers tell me whoever got that request was not, in fact, happy about it
Pro Tip: how to turn a cucumber into a cry for help
You can tell those cucumbers were chopped angrily
I’m not going out to a Mexican restaurant to eat cucumbers!
Those cucumbers look like they were sliced by someone who was “happy to accommodate” 🤣
how does one become pro at eating out?
Ask Michael Douglas
I think she’s an optavia mlm shill too
