annoyed rrrgh
just had a "Falling Down" moment
so yeah, I went into Steamrollers for lunch
they're all pushy like with the "can I take your order, huh? can I? can i?"
I say "I would like something small, the rolls are usually too big"
SR dood says "we can make a salad, and 1/2 order, the greek is the special today"
so I say 'OK'
so he rings it up to $5.89
and I"m like, "Oh, I thought it was a half order, I mean I can get a roll for cheaper than that"
SR dood: "Yes, but it's the special today, y'know, "special" ingredients so it costs more, you can get chicken or beef added for the same price"
L: "Uuuh, ok, so how much salad am I getting, and I'm vegetarian"
SR dood shows me bowl, looks alright
so other SR chic makes salad and gives it to me
contents = one 1/2 filled bowl of *iceburg* lettuce, with a few beans, some cucumber, dollop of rice and dressing
I'm like "*This* is $6??? I'll remember to never come here again"
SR dood: "what, you have a problem? you can say it to my face. maybe she did it wrong, we'll do it again"
L: "I mean, look at it, 6 bucks for this??!"
so he gets SR chic to do it again, and then she says: "Choo know you can get chicken or beef added on top for the same cost."
L:"I'm vegetarian"
say it with me veg-e-tar-i-an
not a difficult concept, that would disclude eating the chicken or the beef
so she gives it back to me
and it looks exactly the same as last time
I just take my lousy salad and leave as there is now a lineup.
That was the worst excuse for food I have seen in years. rrrgh
so instead of getting my machine gun out, I went and bought some more tea after to make myself feel better.

secondly, I'm sure anyone could have seen that $6.00 is unnaceptable for a small salad. You probably could have done better with the McDick's salads, LOL!
as for Special means Special Ingredients, that's why it costs more? wtf is that?

Their burritos look pretty 'healthy' but you're right, it's mostly rice and lettuce (even with the meat ones). Every time I've gone there I get the shits afterwards... not a fun occurance whilst at work, I might add.
What pissed me off bigtime with them was they gave me a stamp-card - so when I get 10 stamps and go to cash it in for my free burrito, they told me the card had expired! They have a freaking time limit on their stamp cards in which you have to collect stamps to get a free burrito - I figured I'd have to eat there every second day for three weeks to get the thing filled up in time...
Well... fuck that BS, I now go across the street to Taco Del Mar - where the burritos might be a tad heavy on the meat side and not so healthy, but you know what? I no longer get the shits and besides the manager there recognised me from going to their Kerrisdale location last sumemr. Everytime I go in there, she know exactly how I like my two usual intems off the menu I order.
