Crazy they even have ketchup in the restaurant to begin with

[–] Sami@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fries but also the place desecrates poutine and probably shawarma too (who cares, fast food) so it's all for the memes.

They have a channel with a bunch of skits too the guy who does them is pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEnd7SQak5A

Desecrates is the good term, reading the ketchup thing made me remember when I was in montreal at a fast food shawarma and pizza place, they also had poutine but with GRATED CHEESE, I was hurt

Probably they sell fries with the schwarma, I've seen places that do.

These guys have such a crazy social media presence for a shawarma shop. First the toktiks and yt shorts, now this.

They're great at marketing it seems. I realized this was an ad too when I saw the name there

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Good God they do. That's wild.

Food purists are some of the weirdest people.

Never understood why people care so much about how other people eat their food.

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

The dude who runs Shelby's makes funny tok tok shorts about ketchup on shawarma. He even has a set of recurring characters and includes customers in his sketches sometimes. This is an elaborate inside joke.

I don't get people who are bothered by others eating things how they want, but idk if my personal peeve puts me in the food purist category or a language prescrivist (I'm usually the opposite of it). I think food items should be called what they're and names should not be interchanged because the idea seems similar, like a crunchwrap isn't a calzone (the comparison I could recall from the top of my head)

Worst offenders are meat eaters. If the meat isn't mooing, you might as well eat shit and die.

Like who cares? If someone wants a raw piece of meat or a burned to fuck piece of charcoal? They're the ones eating it. Let them.

The only reason to care is if there are innocent victims involved

Sign:___________ Date:_________

(The date is already printed elsewhere on the receipt)

[–] Muehe@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well here is where my PhD in tracking stuff on paper, which gets handed out in triplicate to every German child at birth, comes in handy. The signature line customarily includes the date again because printing date and signing date (and thus validity) might differ. And yes, I know this is not applicable in a restaurant (hopefully), but that's generally the reason when it occurs.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it should not be hard to program the printer to put the date on the signature line as well, the date does not need to be handwritten.
