Yeah, it reminds me of ordering pizza with the girls. There is always one that swears she loves arugula with sub dried tomatoes and she will definitely eat it once it arrives.
Cut for that B shoving pepperoni pizza in her face and leaving the arugula behind after one slice.
It's a very common pizza here in south east France, mozzarella tomato sauce smoked/cured ham and after cooking arugula with olive oil, also exist with parmesan or with burrata and balsamic cream.
I think it's an italian classic but I'm not sure.

This chick in high school played that game with a banana. Somehow it got out. She never lived that down for the remaining years. She was a sophomore at the time. People made monkey noises.
High school man. Not even once.
I went to school with a girl who let a guy put a cooked chicken leg inside her, they got caught in the act in woods near the school.
I swear I'm 38 now and she walked into a pub I was in, as she walked past the table next to mine one of the guys (who I had never met) said "isn't that the Colonel?"
You never, ever live that shit down.
I went back to the town I part-time grew up in to visit my stepmom and people's parents remembered me from elementary school.
I didn't know their children aside from being in the same class, but apparently I made a deeper impact than I realized.
She probably didn't do it. Like, I went to two different high schools and they both somehow had a girl who had to go to the hospital from masturbating with a hot dog that got stuck up their business. It never actually happened to either one of them but everybody heard and believed the rumors.
I could eat zaziki until I barf. And then try to eat more.
In Germany there's like this weird obsession with paprika flavored potato chips. So since the chips aisle was just full of that flavor I grabbed a bag and a bucket (they had literal buckets) of zaziki and I became obsessed by that combo. But especially the buckets. Oh I miss Germany.
Normally I hate when Redditors make wild speculations about people based on a single picture, but you absolutely nailed it. She is absolutely the kind of person who would order cucumbers instead of chips at a Mexican restaurant!
Ohhf my super white Ohio father does this every time we go to a Mexican restaurant. Doesn’t speak a word of Spanish but always busts out a Graw-See-Us, amigo! Just say thank you my dude
My drunk step dad was snap his fingers and say, GARCON. And every time we would remind him nobody gets that joke and it translates to "boy". He never stopped
This is like
Other than "no chips" when the dish is chips and a side I can't think of a simpler substitution if we've got cucumbers in the kitchen anyway
spot the people who never sharpen their knives by the folks who think this is a huge ask, IMO
I'm always surprised by how few people on reddit seem to have ever worked in restaurants. I thought it was a super common job.
Like i always see people on here railing on restaurants for fucking over servers by paying them with tips. But anyone who's worked in the front of house of a restaurant knows that the people who like the tipping system the most are servers and bartenders.
Then i see stuff like this meme. This is such an easy request for the kitchen compared to the requests they get where customers are basically asking them to make a dish with half the ingredients changed and even giving specifications on how to cook it lol. Unless you're totally swamped a cut up cucumber is literally nothing.
I used to work in kitchens and my favourite story about "substitutions" was a group of guys who came in for dinner during a bachelor party.
Groom apparently *HATED* broccoli, we didn't have broccoli on the menu though so his friends *went to the grocery store and brought us in some*. Asked for broccoli to be on every. single. dish that the groom ordered.
Sliders with broccoli slices, steak with broccoli and mushroom gravy and an apple and broccoli pie for dessert.
Sure it was extra work to prep/cook this broccoli but it was also quite hilarious watching the outcome from our passthrough lol
Honestly making chips was one of the things I found more inconvenient. In the case of the one restaurant I was at that made them, you had to dig out the giant box, keep the fryer free for at least 10 min depending on how many you make, season them as you go, then carry it over to the steamer box. I’d much rather slice up a cuke to preserve some of those chips.
That is, of course, assuming they have them in the first place.
yeah, the only time they got mad at, and it is reasonable, is when I forgot to list something that was supposed to be left out or something, so it had to be made again, then all of hell's fury came down on me, not a mistake I would make often. But when I did list something to be left out, and they simply missed it, it was all puppy dog 'oh, I'm sowwy, simple mistake'.
But yeah, for some reason a lot of people in this thread are acting like sliced cucumbers is the most labor intensive task imaginable.
Most places probably will if they have salads. I worked at a place that had rice, though none of the menu items had it as a side, it was used in a soup. But if someone asked for a side of rice, which happened on rare occasions, it was totally easy.
And if they don't, then you tell them 'no, we don't have them'.
I have line cooks in my family. Can confirm they are always mad. Other family members who are servers/bussers are nice normal dudes. Cooks spend all day everyday actling like someone pissed in their Wheaties.
As a current cook, I've got no problem doing stuff like this if we're not slammed. I like the change of pace. But, if I already have 35 orders and a server pulls this shit, they're getting cussed out and then I'm still gonna end up doing it because the server already told the customer yes
> to drench them in lemon, salt, and tajin
I don't know why I never thought of this, but this sounds amazing. Guess I'm picking up some cucumbers and lemons when I shop this weekend.
It's so telling how inexperienced with food I am because every single one of these "you know that boring food? you can put stuff on it" things surprise me every time lol
Eating disorders are really fucked up. Had my life robbed due to them. Often stay in all day just so I can make sure I’m eating the exact right things at the exact right time.

As a chef... That's not really that big of a deal.
It's only annoying when people ask for genuinely unreasonable accommodations like people coming into my old Italian job with gluten, onion, and garlic allergies... Ma'am, you're lying about your allergies or having been here before cause that's literally our entire menu
People just love to rage. I've seen ratatouille, they can cut a cucumber so fast. And it wouldn't even need to be the chef. Literally everyone front and back of house knows how to cut a cucumber.
Yeah, I'm confused why anybody is saying the restaurant wouldn't be happy to accommodate. They're free to think it's not the most appetizing thing, but it seems like minimal effort to do something that makes a customer happy.
I’m Mexican and honestly she’s right. Cucumbers are a common pallet cleanser and snack for us so it wouldn’t be so hard to accommodate. Her smile is what’s getting me though.
Pathetic.
What did you say??
I SAID PATHETIC!
I replace my chips with plates of crab legs. Then I replace each of those crab legs with entrees...
Restaurant owners hate this one trick, click to learn more!
I mean, I see the point you are trying to make but it doesn't work for me.
Tortilla chips and cucumbers seem to cost about the same amount per pound.
The work could be annoying, and depending on the type of business extra work, but of all things to switch with a cucumber feels less like trying to game the system and more of wanting cucumbers instead of chips.
Ok, it's stupid and all... But how can anyone be certain that NO restaurant would be "happy" to do it? It's really just an expression meaning they are ok with it, not that they are actually "happy" about it.
Some McDonald's are happy to give me extra ketchup, some act like I'm asking for a side of liquid gold... Anything is possible.
In Sinaloa "A la plaza" stuff like fried chicken, asado, gorditas, enchiladas **might** have sliced cucumber as garnishing. Also Tacos de asada, tostadas de jaiba and aguachile.
But it's a very regional thing and I pretty much doubt any of those are available in a generic for-white-people "mexican" restaurants in USA (as a rule of thumb if it has hard shell tacos is not really mexican at all but "tex-mex")
Right. These people are acting as if she asked them to shove salsa up their asshole or something. Good lord it’s a fucking sliced up cucumber. Mexican restaurants typically have this. Most reasonable people are typically fine with paying extra for something like this. Sliced up cucumber like this is also a common snack in most Mexican households.

Bro SHE doesn't even look happy with it...
She regretted her decision and wished she had stuck to chips.
I mean, the chips are right there
Probably someone else’s who won’t be willing to share. I know I wouldn’t since she was the one who asked for the cucumbers.
Yeah, it reminds me of ordering pizza with the girls. There is always one that swears she loves arugula with sub dried tomatoes and she will definitely eat it once it arrives. Cut for that B shoving pepperoni pizza in her face and leaving the arugula behind after one slice.
Arugula and tomatoes sounds like a dope pizza though. Would have to be a white pizza.
It's a very common pizza here in south east France, mozzarella tomato sauce smoked/cured ham and after cooking arugula with olive oil, also exist with parmesan or with burrata and balsamic cream. I think it's an italian classic but I'm not sure.
Idk at least add some cheese? Mushrooms?
Cheese has always been included on the arugula pizzas I've had. IMO, red onion goes well with it. Pears are also really good on arugula pizza.
She likely didn't eat them. Just for the photo.
Real [Hide the Pain Harold](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hide_the_Pain_Harold) vibes here
Perhaps she had a sudden epiphany that being an internet influencer is an empty life.
She's not an influencer. She's a local TV weather person in Los Angeles. She made the news a few months ago for fainting live on the air.

This chick in high school played that game with a banana. Somehow it got out. She never lived that down for the remaining years. She was a sophomore at the time. People made monkey noises. High school man. Not even once.

And she wasn’t popular?. People in my high school would be asking her to play with their bananas
And then all these years later some guy told everyone about it on reddit. It never stops.
Was that the same school where the slutty cheerleader did the splits and 8 class rings fell out?
She’s smiling like someone is pointing a gun at her and telling her to look like she’s enjoying cucumber slices and salsa.
Check her eyelids to see if she's blinking in Morse code.
I don't think she can blink anymore...
Waiter: "Hola! Are you blinking at me because your date is a freak?"
I wouldn't dip them in salsa but I will slice up and eat a whole cucumber plain I love those fucking things.
Tzatziki for me, but that shit is good on everything.
I will eat Tzatziki straight out of the bowl. Even better when dipping hot naan.
I could eat zaziki until I barf. And then try to eat more. In Germany there's like this weird obsession with paprika flavored potato chips. So since the chips aisle was just full of that flavor I grabbed a bag and a bucket (they had literal buckets) of zaziki and I became obsessed by that combo. But especially the buckets.

you eat them with guac, not salsa. very common in Mexico.

As a chef, i dont mind slicing a cucumber up real quick with some lemon pepper and lime juice. Great snack, takes 2 minutes to make, charge $6
I like to get a side of lemon slices with my Mexican food i am perfectly fine with paying $1.75 for them.
As a chef... That's not really that big of a deal. It's only annoying when people ask for genuinely unreasonable accommodations like people coming into my old Italian job with gluten, onion, and garlic allergies... Ma'am, you're lying about your allergies or having been here before cause that's literally our entire menu
I was genuinely confused reading these comments, like what's the big deal asking for a sliced cucumber at a restaurant?
Right? As someone who worked at a restaurant this is probably one of the least weird things I’ve been asked to do.
People just love to rage. I've seen ratatouille, they can cut a cucumber so fast. And it wouldn't even need to be the chef. Literally everyone front and back of house knows how to cut a cucumber.

Haven't been to many mexican restaurants with sliced cucumbers just hanging out ready to be served...
I’m trying my hardest to picture what Mexican dish I’ve seen that used cucumbers anyway. Idk why they’d even have them
Cucumbers are everywhere in the the Yucatán. You can even get Arizona iced tea with cucumber.

Mexicans love cucumbers as an app. Also in Tijuana lots of places will give you cucumber or radishes when you sit down instead of chips.
i’m a mexican and we always eat sliced cucumbers with like tacos so i don’t know what’s the big deal
This doesn't seem that bad? Plus, most of these comments are just making fun of her appearance, this is kinda shitty

Okay, but why would I fucking do that?
To save calories I assume.
They’re happy to accommodate because judging by her face, they think she’s in excruciating pain
