Forget Google Reviews, People Are Now Spelling Out Their Complaints Directly On The Plate

The Most Relatable Restaurant Dilemma

Most people who get an unsatisfactory meal either force themselves to swallow it or just pay the bill and leave quietly.

It is always incredibly awkward to call a waiter over and complain. But creative customers have found the perfect, funniest middle ground.

While they are far too shy to look the staff in the eye and make a scene, they happily spend their time crafting a message on their plate to get their point across.

Slicing and Dicing the Drama

A post on social media shows a plate of fried rice that just did not hit the spot.

The customer honestly admitted that they simply did not have the heart to tell the staff face to face that the dish was disappointing. Instead, they used their time at the table to get artistic.

They took the green vegetables from the plate and carefully arranged them to spell out X DAP, which means not delicious in local slang.

Peak Social Anxiety at the Dinner Table

This situation perfectly captures what it is like to have social anxiety at a restaurant.

It takes a lot of patient, quiet effort to sit there moving tiny pieces of vegetables around to form neat letters.

The customer was too polite and gentle to hurt the waiter’s feelings out loud, yet they were dedicated enough to leave a silent, harmless message for the kitchen to find later.

Let the Leftovers Do the Talking

The move sparked a massive trend, with other diners sharing their own plate art.

One hungry customer used leftover grains to spell out that their rice was too hard, while another used orange slices and chili cups to make a giant smiley face.

Commenters are loving it, joking that people are getting way too creative after dinner now, but agreeing it is the best way to give feedback without causing a public scene.
