Me: My car thinks it's a chicken.
You: Why don't you get it fixed?
Me: We need the eggs...

Don't be getting all cocky, but keep the momentum up and crush it in the elections!

You should relocate.

I always use a brown paper bag, but be sure to monitor the fruit/veggies as they sometimes ripen VERY fast!

Then the comic needs to have the Marine demand his choice be "the norm". Otherwise, scornful opinions of "just black coffee" are a projected restriction from others on choice. See how that works?

"No beef? How about some Chicken? We have seafood! Are you sure? I don't know if the kitchen will do that..." It's a simplistic meme that demands a certain, obligatory buy-ins of "approved" political assumptions to interpret. What if the Marine is Bi or Trans?

Those who wish to impose a standard on others are misguided and narrow minded. To say this has "never happened" is a leap of unfounded assumption. As a Vegetarian, wife is a Vegan, we frequently run into this very scenario where the wait person cannot comprehend not wanting meat for our meal.

Understood. I get choice; I value choice. I do not value being up-sold or offered options when I am sure what I want. My certainty doesn't strip others of their right to choose otherwise. I am not missing the point of the cartoon, but still insist it has basic assumptions that are hypocritical.

Then, it is a non-issue.

Sorry, this makes no sense to me. Everyone wants to be taken at face value when they ask for something specific, including Vegetarians and Vegans. Would the interpretation change if the customer was asking for a vegan meal and was prompted to consider a meat-based meal?

Hello India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan or Russia! You obviously do not live in the USA to have written such a farcical post with obvious lies! Now, go back to posting on those thousands of phones linked together and earn more pennies for your effort!
