If they save three cents a soy sauce times 1000 orders they save $8.52.

You’re not wrong. So I go back to the restaurant, and say I think someone did a pretty light pour on the soy sauce, could I get some more. The guy behind the bar goes, oh yeah, they pour them all like that and he shows me a stack of containers which all have the same minimal amount lol. Then makes some comment (probably with some racial undertones towards the Asian staff) about how the ladies always do it that way but he invites me to pour more into it from one of the bottles at the bar. Overall weird experience, but oh well it happens I guess. Just annoying to get all the way back home and see that amount.

You went back to the restaurant to ask for more soy sauce?

Does he know they sell it at Krogers?
Yes. I’m traveling and in a city. It was 2 blocks away. I was likely going to just deal with it but as I was setting up my food to dig in, I spilled a bit of it leaving me with virtually nothing. Another reason why giving so little is dumb - no margin for error.

I’m sorry to hear of your suffering. Perhaps this will help you feel better:
Buy tickets for a 6PM Beetlejuice mid-week show. Only 2 other seats booked a couple hours before, excellent.
Get to the theater and there are maybe 15 people total. Notably, a group of 4 teenagers (2 boys, 2 girls) got tickets to our right in the same row leaving about a 3 seat gap.
The first 60% of the film they’ve got their phones open and are having a convo at just under normal speaking volume. Never pausing for more than 10 seconds before resuming the convo. My wife and I hate confrontation so the most we do is glare at them, but it obviously has no effect.
Like WTF? Why even get tickets to the movie? Just hang out anywhere else in the mall where it’s ok to talk. How are people so horribly inconsiderate that they would do this?

I don’t have kids but I imagine kids who have grown up attached to a cell phone mostly have an inability to disconnect for even 90 minutes. On top of that watching tv and movies is often a social experience at home and they probably have a lot of experience doing that and no experience behaving properly in the theater.
I blame their parents. Probably never took them to movies when growing up and just hired a sitter and let them watch stuff at home. They never learned how to sit through a movie in a theater. I imagine they would behave similarly at a play.
I mean, if the other 40% was necking and hand play, I think you have your answer

Did you have a way to re-heat it?
No sauce vs cold food is a real two button meme for me in lots of cases.
I generally don’t heat up my sushi.

LOL. I missed that it was sushi.

But yes, for hot food, I’d probably have to weigh that. I did have a way to reheat, so I probably would’ve still gone back if there was something missing that was to be paired with my hot dish. I wonder if part of that is psychology engrained from living in an urban environment - I’m constantly popping out for 1 thing that may be a couple blocks away, so I don’t think of it as much of a chore.
Fucking supermarkets man.
In Australia there are only two large supermarket chains. Who shamelessly price fix and run a profitable duopoly with both farmers/suppliers and customers. (Duopsony?)
It’s pretty infuriating. But I had a moment last night at the sheer fuck you exploitative nature of supermarkets.
I was making a quick trip to buy juice for a pregnant Mrs Rugby’s cravings.
The juice, which is gonna to be in high demand for people with kids. Is at the far end of an aisle which ONLY has candy, chocolates, and biscuits. It’s completely shameless.
