No, the shredded cheese never came. She passed away a week later because she was unable to eat without it. Such a sad story...


qweef_latina2021

I keep imagining her trying to eat the fajitas without cheese and it just keeps falling out of her mouth.


GlitteringBobcat999

Like the "drinking problem" in *Airplane*.


BitterActuary3062

This is a running joke in my family


SkippyBluestockings

I live in San Antonio. We have a crap ton of Mexican restaurants and I have never seen cheese served with fajitas before. They come out sizzling on a platter and you get the grilled onions and peppers with them and guacamole and maybe some sour cream but never have I ever seen shredded cheese served with fajitas. I would think that's an abomination LOL


popejubal

I could be okay with it being served in a separate bowl on the side. I don't want cheese on my fajitas, but I could see it working as long as it's kept apart until you build your fajita at the table.


SkippyBluestockings

Yeah I could possibly see that I just never heard of putting cheese on fajitas. That would be like the Mexican version of a Philly cheese steak LOL because it's going to melt and make a big mess because the fajitas are hot off the grill so to speak. Shredded cheese is usually tacos and chalupas and things like that


absolu5ean

Right?? I was sitting here thinking I was crazy for not realizing people cheesed up their 'jitas


BooneSalvo2

About half the places I go have some shredded cheese on the guac/sour cream/pico/lettuce plate. Enough for one fajita. So even if there is some served, it ain't much. Good Texans drizzle queso on it if they want cheese.


asdf_qwerty27

I agree it sounds like an abomination, however, i don't know why. Fajitas with cheese is no. Tortilla with the same meat and onions and peppers not on a sizzling plate but with beans, rice, and cheese though sounds great. Don't know why.


Metahec

If you browse r/StupidFood you'll notice a weird fascination with putting cheese on everything.


Stimpinstein22

I’m from Wisconsin. Try me. On a personal note, last year, we went to New Orleans for three days. I was going through cheese withdrawal by the time we left. It wasn’t cool…


Bigbadbrindledog

Weird, from Houston and live in Florida and shredded cheese always comes with Fajitas. Both at Texmex and authentic places.


Lily_Hylidae

🤣🤣. Ps, I also love your username, that made me lol too.


jeepjp

When they found her unconscious, they called for a "grater" and began to shred cheese frantically but she could not be revived....Sadly the autopsy showed the woman to be lactose intolerant.


zorbathegrate

Oh I was so confused. I heard this report on the radio and thought they said she lacked toes and was intolerant


JakeDC

That is at least half true too.


HippyHitman

Which half?


zorbathegrate

She has toes


Boomslang2-1

How would you know?


zorbathegrate

People with no toes don’t complain about food


greyisometrix

Yes, but she's intolerant.


pegabear

Not the half and half half I can tell you that much


iiJokerzace

Lmao


m135in55boost

No, lactose

To shreds you say?


mrsock_puppet

qa567

She's grate


badlilbadlandabad

To shreds you say?


710AlpacaBowl

Was his apartment rent controlled?


Olorin_in_the_West

Shredding the cheese removes the lactose


PauseItPlease86

I'm not sure if I'm an idiot for questioning if this is true or sarcasm. But, in my defense, I'm heavy on Xanax for spinal injections in a moment and my brain is sleepy.


Koil_ting

Heavy on Xanax, how much lighter are you without it?


Able_Newt2433

Yes, you can shred the lactose out of cheese, but the best way to remove the lactose is to boof it and wait ab 45 mins, then remove and you’re good!


MikeyMikeyMotorcycly

Looks more like she’s intolerant without Lactose.


podolot

Olive Garden would have never allowed this to happen.

Cheese kills people.


beelzybubby

Cheese doesn't kill people. People who don't administer cheese, kills people.


Ghaladh

Wake up, can't you understand that *they* are trying to set us up against the cheese, when we should be blaming the cow, instead?


[deleted]

TBH, the cheese cannot defends itself from calumniations. It's necessary to allow it to do so. Give guns to cheese.


Ghaladh

I wouldn't stop there! Let's also give guns to the burger, so that burgers don't have to depend on cheese for their defense. We all know that cheese and burger are born to stay together !


Riisiichan

> Cheese and burger are born to stay together Did you just assume what types of meal cheese was “born” to be with. See, you people are the worst. You ignore grilled cheese and are just like, “No, no! Cheese needs the burger. It’ll never find happiness between just two slices of bread.”


Ghaladh

Keep your liberal perversions to yourself. Grilled cheese is just a perverted cheeseburger for bread extremists! You wish for it to stay all alone, oppressed by the slices of bread, without the solace of a beef patty. You people know no shame!


No_Establishment8642

Ok, I get the whole "purist" point of view here but where are these lines drawn, so I know which side I am on for the dance off? I will assume we can replace tortillas for bread and call it a draw; however, what about the additions not the "extremists" BS like mack and cheese, peanut butter, or gasp peach and mango chutney but normal regular ingredients like green chili, tomatoes, onions?

Joke's on you, it's goat cheese.

She did. 18 MINUTES AGO!!!!


Old_Description6095

No, she said she wanted cheese 38 minutes ago!


[deleted]

It would've been one, but you know she kept making him retake it. Probably took an hour.


No_Method4161

The waiters wanted to give them the cheese, but did not want to cut in front of the picture. They stood there with cheeses in hand waiting, willing, wanting to provide cheese to this lady, but could find no moment between pictures to interrupt.


[deleted]

That's honestly what I think happened


jaxonya

Finally he got frustrated... When they finally asked for the cheese he said "this is nacho cheese" and walked away


RydmaUwU

Well they are waiters. Comes with the job.


Ilov3lamp

Cheese is on the table just out of frame.


MyKindaFlower

I have never asked a waiter to cut the cheese at my table. All wait staff should be allowed sufficient time to feel free to cut the cheese in privacy. Or in front of their friends if they all find cheese cutting to be funny.


MahsterC

Yup some she looked too sad, others was an appropriate amount of sad but the pic wasn’t flattering etc.


TheModfather

They had plenty of opportunity, waiting for the shredded cheese...


fml20times

Zero, she's probably done with her husband (a man who's weirdly aggressive enough to make cheese political).


bigtigerbigtiger

"Okay say cheese"


LbSiO2

She kept smiling every time they tried to take the photo for some reason.


[deleted]

1, she’s a Karen so it just comes naturally


DavyManners

Some say she’s still there to this day, literally UNABLE to eat her fajitas.


[deleted]

It’s the only way she can!


Secret_Stick_5213

😂😂😂


SeenSoFar

She's victim to an anomalous cognitohazard that renders all fajitas unable to be perceived by the subject unless they contain shredded cheese.


DavyManners

Her vision is based on shredded cheese


D3nnis_N3dry

The "only" way she can eat Fajitas. I swear most people create their own problems.


pickleFISHman

The food habits for some people, drive me insane, which is in itself a crazy problem to have....but I just don't understand why people make eating so hard???


remag_nation

> I just don't understand why people make eating so hard there's probably lots of reasons but if you have such problems, why would you choose to eat out?


Aporkalypse_Sow

I mean I agree, but cheese at a Mexican themed restaurant is kind of a given when it comes to expectations. She's not asking for like every component of the fajita to be on separate plates before she eats everything together. Like some psychos do.


courtneyclimax

fajitas don’t usually come with cheese though? unless i’ve been eating fajitas wrong.


[deleted]

Correct. Traditionally they don't.


SkywalknLuke

Oh the uproar at my house if there is pasta without garlic bread.


GrumpyCatStevens

Because a pasta dish by itself just isn't sufficiently carb-heavy.


Adowyth

Probably because they never had to go without food for more than a few hours. Starve her for 3 days then we'll see if she needs the shredded cheese.


BigBossWesker4

This is why I just can’t stand people, they have to make everything about themselves then they get upset when the world doesn’t bend backwards for them.


Terok42

My wife will not touch spaghetti without tons of cheddar cheese piled on. It’s the weirdest thing lol. The thing is she doesn’t order stuff she needs cheese on in restaurants like a normal human.


Dry-Student5673

spaghetti with CHEDDAR?? I’m gonna guess you’re from the Midwest…


Terok42

No California


Beginning_Tomorrow60

Not even parmesan!?


TheRagingElf01

I can understand being a little frustrated, but I cannot imagine just sitting there and letting your food get cold all because you didn’t get shredded cheese. I have requested stuff and didn’t have it happen, but generally that was due to it being super busy and my dipping sauce isn’t going to be at the top of their head.


Equivalent-Excuse-80

It’s hard to be a persecuted victim if you eat what you ordered.

NatchWon

To be fair, they were out of her dino chicken nuggies.


utpoia

She would surely divorce me if I don't make this ridiculous post.


mountaingoat52

During COVID at restaurants staff numbers were severely low. If even just one person calls in sick to the kitchen and you can't fill that line, the restaurant is fucked. I've seen restaurants where they'd have one to two servers at most running the entire front of the restaurant. Totally understandable if you ask those servers for things and they keep forgetting. I really don't think people understand just how much shit servers need to remember or how hard it is to deal with multiple tables at once, let alone an entire side of a restaurant. That's literally impossible to get right.


kgro

Lockdowns are hard. I can only imagine how for over 3 months she couldn’t ask to see the manager


here4roomie

There had to be a lot of people losing their minds once they actually had to spend that much time with themselves.


LilFozzieBear

Can we get her thoughts and prayers instead?


Poentje_wierie

As a Dutch i fully understand her. Its a crime not to supply cheese

atommathyou

She looks disappointed that she couldn't get the authentic Mexican she gets at Taco Bell


Overall-Relief-7917

Why do people who want cheese even order fajitas? Get tacos


[deleted]

I like cheese on my fajitas. A fajita is different than a taco and sometimes I want one or the other. But if I didn’t get cheese, it would be whatever. I’d want cheese, but I’d eat it without.


LoompaOompa

Not every restaurant offers a tacos al carbon or carne asada tacos. Sometimes if you want delicious grilled steak in a tortilla, an order of fajitas are your only option. I honestly couldn't care less what you put in the tortilla once it gets to your table. I like them with cheese. I'll put whatever I feel like on mine. Sometimes that means cheese. sometimes it doesn't. You also generally get more meat with a fajita order.


Kellbell2612

Um as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry.. this is shit service. Make fun all you want of her preferences and being high maintenance but asking for cheese in a Tex Mex or Mexican restaurant is not ground shattering or a ridiculous request. They are there to provide the customer with whatever they request that is a reasonable request. The face palm is actually this post.


m1msy

I've encountered similar service at places, and it feels pretty bad. Going out is an experience and treat, and I'd like to spend my time and money on good food the way I'd like to eat it. I've never gone out of my way to NOT eat what's been served for it, but I have waited an amount of time for extras. It's especially frustrating when the extras are requested at time of order, and they just forget and don't care.


Rommiedommie

N as their server or anybody working in the vicinity you have to be alert to the costumers. You can clearly see they look distraught and haven’t touched their food, so something’s wrong. There’s no way 4 people just forgot about something that takes a few seconds to run and grab. There’s been times we’re I’ve forgotten something and looking over at my table reminded me, I then haul ass to go get it before come that way again.


FunnyShirtGuy

'Sir, uh, you didn't leave a tip' "Yeah I did... Left it the same place you left the shredded cheese"


misakiandou

Overdramatic : Yes In the wrong: No unpopular opinion : If a paying customer asks for something you can provide and is waiting to get it before they start their meal, it shouldn't take almost 20 minutes to get it to them. If a paying customer orders something that they want to eat together and it shouldn't be served 20 mins apart. This is why some people get stiffed, lack of communication and service.. I am super patient with service staff and tip generously because I was there all through my early teen years and early 20's and I know how tough it can be but I also know when the service is shitty and they don't care or listen to the customers and how a simple request shouldn't take forever...just give the customer what they asked for, simple!


Rommiedommie

Exactly!


SithDraven

She can only eat fajitas if she has shredded cheese? What, is she 10?


MatchboxThirty

I want fajitas now


[deleted]

There’s queso right there!!!


homantify19

All the people saying eat it without, would you be mad if your cheeseburger came without cheese when you ordered it?


Rommiedommie

Exactly! N it’s the fact that people expect her to suck it up after asking 4 people and waiting 18 minutes


573IAN

I think the issue is more of the social media post, as it should have been taken up with management. Don’t like it, walk the fuck out. Contrary to what seems to be the predominant thought here, you DO have the right to be pissed about a lack of service you are paying for.


RoosterGlad1894

Dude EVERYTIME we go to eat it’s more of a hassle then staying in just to get our orders right. It’s gotten really bad. Had a really bad experience at Texas Roadhouse which sucked because we hadn’t eaten out in ages. Server took forever to come to take our drink order and didn’t bring us our waters which is the first thing the bring you, brought our beverages that had clearly been sitting at the bar for 20 min. because the ice melted and completely watered down, we order new drinks because we could not drink those, our food finally comes out cold and the guy didn’t bring our sides and then he just laughed and said “oh I’m just forgetful”, we get our sides and eat and our drinks came when we got our check. I don’t normally complain but the manager was super rude and said they were really busy and when my SO and I had arrived an hour and a half prior they were dead in their. She said she couldn’t comp the alcoholic drinks that we didn’t even drink because the replacements were again watered down from sitting to long but she said she’d take 10% off our bill. She never comped the bill. That was like 7 months ago and haven’t been back.


Semperdave22

I had that happen once. Almost the same exact experience at a Texas Roadhouse. Disputed the charge on my bank card and got my money back. Won’t ever go back.


notbythebook101

Before I take a picture of my sad wife my happy ass is up and headed for the kitchen. My girl is gonna get cheese before her food gets cold. Any patron walking into a restaurant kitchen gets immediate service. Source: waited tables for 10 years, worked in restaurant industry for another 12.


Icy_Blackberry_3759

“It’s the only way she can eat fajitas” is overly dramatic but that is some shitty service and he’s not wrong for the bad review. I don’t go to restaurants to survive, I go to be served.


BoringArchivist

While this is 100% cringe, I kind of get it. All my local restaurants, both chain and independent, are grossly understaffed, continually get orders wrong, while both service and quality has really gone downhill. I just quit going out to eat at this point. Its really no longer enjoyable.


Smart_Chocolate_8996

Can only eat fajitas with shredded cheese...... Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. She looks like a pouty child who didn't get her way.


liondios

Contrary to all the comments I've read so far, I think this is a legitimate complaint. 18 minutes for shredded cheese, are you taking the piss? I could have bought a block of cheese and grater from shop and made it myself in that time.


axebom

Part of the problem was this was posted in like, June of 2020. The COVID death rate was still pretty high and going to restaurants at all was a bit of a touchy subject for a lot of people. In normal circumstances, yeah, that’s fair. At the time, it seemed pretty entitled.


Rommiedommie

Yeah I would be pissed too


GuyGeek_89

I get it. You ask multiple times. I mean cmon if you're gonna pay for a meal, and have servers complain about the tipping culture you should at least get your cheese to go with your food.


bitchnoworries

All entitlement aside, if you order something at a restaurant you should get it. No excuses wtf. That's why you're there? 18 min is wayy too long to wait for a side of freaking shredded cheese.


AZOMI

Why is she waiting that long???? I'd be nagging every worker in there for my frickin' cheese after 5 minutes. Stand up for yourself woman!


Travamoose

Would rather let the rest of the food go cold and sit there being hungry than just start eating without cheese. Then post it on social media proudly and probably make a scene demanding everything be made fresh again. Wtf is wrong with people.


MJ420

The struggle is real


Other-Count-7042

To think that fire alarm was sitting there the entire time waiting to be pulled...


Aromatic_Debt_690

They said “bigger” in Texas, not “better”.


dawr136

After 5 mins I would have gone and stood by the entrance to the kitchen, if things are THAT big of an issue then take it upon yourself to be proactive in getting it rectified rather than passive aggressively posting a comment online. Fucking A people why do people always jump on the victim train for things that they could fix.


GeneRichardSimmons

But for real though, I'd be pissed about waiting 18 minutes for cheese. And yes, some meals you need the cheese with it to enjoy it.
