    This is the second “why must I suffer the novelety menu item name” post this morning and like… are y’all really that concerned about this?

    I have both ordered with the silly names (who cares? They named it that and I assure you no one who works there likes saying it all day everyday any more than you.) But you can also just order “the double chilli cheese burger” and they’ll know what you’re talking about.

    The only time waitstaff would say something like “Look at this weak loser who won’t call it the Big Daddy Burger!” is in people’s humiliation kink fantasy posts that I am certain are the origin of 80% of these posts in the genre of “I’m so embarrassed to be doing basic tasks in public, uwu!”

    Then again, if the menu item is called Big Daddy Burger, maybe you’re already at the BDSM kink burger house and I’m the one missing the point here?

      Same poster, less than hour apart, avid meme poster.

      Probably hit a vein of these memes and posted a few. You just got fooled by “the loud few”.

        The whole internet is basically the “fallacy of the loud few” (good observation!) but you’re right of course. I feel like this has been an ongoing genre of post though, maybe I’m just getting old and cranky about the “soft next generation.”

        Damn kids with their inability to speak in public and their thigh high socks and linux laptops! Back in my day we had to wear tactical kilts and we ordered our Big Wet Daddy burgers with the pride flag of war on top and a molotov cocktail for a digestive.
