This man doesn’t have a shred of gratefulness.
A Twitter user has earned himself the undesirable position of internet laughingstock of the day after tweeting about his less than perfect post-lockdown restaurant experience and his wife’s cheese preferences.
After over three months in coronavirus quarantine, Jason S. Vicknair went on a date night with his wife, only to be forced to wait for what he determined to be an unacceptably long time for her to receive her very specific fajita-topping request.
“My wife, date night after 3+ months locked up on quarantine,” Vicknair tweeted from the account @Jsv4 on Saturday alongside a photo of his unmasked, melancholy wife leaning up against a wall at a Mi Cocina restaurant. “Waiting for shredded cheese as it’s the only way she can eat fajitas. We’ve asked 4 people, going on 18 minutes now. Just unreal at Allen, TX location. We gotta quit blaming #COVID19 for crappy service.”
Following much backlash, the tweet has been deleted, but many people have preserved it by including screenshots of it with their roasts.
“The faces of national tragedy: ‘Migrant Mother,’ 1936 (by Dorothea Lange, FSA) and ‘But I Had To Wait For My Shredded Cheese,’ 2020,” reads one viral tweet from a photographer with little empathy for the cheesy complaint.
“Why have patrons gotten so rude as workers risk their lives to make our life easier? His wife looks pathetic waiting I’d be pissed at my husband for embarrassing me!” says another person more disturbed by the critique of the restaurant’s servers than the temporarily cheese-less wife.
“You see, my wife…she has this condition. The only way she can eat a fajita is with cheese. Doctors say it’s not fatal but there’s no cure,” tweets another.
