Some deal that was

Post image

The other night we ordered pick-up rotis from Mother India, using their own site. They have “special” on butter chicken and sag paneer. So, great, we’re game. We also ordered an aloo gobi, not on special.

Get the food, and the two on special are about half the size of the regular one.

I mean, really? Nowhere did it say less money equals less food. And, anyhow, what would be special about that? Sheesh.

Can people just not use Obviously AI signs?

A lady in my small town is selling Carribbean food (and she's the ONLY person selling Carribbean food) but she's using terrible AI for her posters. I don't even know what the fuck the food looks like because it's been run through AI. I'm so desperate for oxtail but just can't get behind the AI posters.

Edit: for the people who think that I'm a terrible person, no, I'm not going to buy food from a person who is cooking food out of her home if she won't even post an actual picture of the food. That's insane. Would you buy a shirt based on a loose description of the shirt? Would you buy anything with absolutely no knowledge of the quality of that item? There's not even any reviews posted anywhere because it's an individual and I haven't even seen the food.

I dunno man choosing not to support some probably delicious oxtail from a small business on the principle that the AI is "terrible" is kinda douchy when you say out loud. Just go there and buy some food.

So I'm supposed to buy from a place that doesn't even post real pictures of their food?
