I explained to her that I wasn't looking for anything additional, just didn't want them to waste the rice or noodles on me. It took a managers involvement. I couldn't understand why I could get just a scoop of the yella' and a scoop of the blue without rice/noodles and still pay the same price without the manager OK'ing it.
Haha I just saw the same thing last week. Someone at a Chinese fast takeout ordered a 3 items lunch. The server put noodles and started putting rice too.. but the guy said I don't need rice. So she asked if you want another portion of noodles. He said no.. just like that.

But sir you ordered 3-items, it came with rice and noodles.... at the end he got 2 portions of noodles even though he said he can't eat that much noodles...
