Rice Pushers

I went and got a burrito at Poncho Villas. I said, “no rice” and the chick making my burrito said, “No rice? You no want rice? No rice?” She said it in a manner as if by me not getting rice I would be putting millions of rice farmers out of business. “Yeah, no rice.” Have I mentioned my disdain for rice pushers? Every time I go out for Asian food it the same thing. “How much rice you wan’, nuff for two people?” “I DON’T WANT ANY!!!!” “No rice? You no want rice? No rice? When I little girl growin up on rice patty, we no have enuff money for food. All we eat—rice. Rice good for you. You need eat rice, nuff for two people!” “NO!!!!!” Then they always bring out rice and then I tell ‘em not to charge me for it since I won’t eat it. Pushy, pushy, pushy.
