Onion-Based Rejection Therapy: Day 2 -- A Taco Bell Tragedy (ft. E-Onion)

Hi again!

TLDR - This is a series where I train myself not to be anxious of asking for the amount of onions I actually want. Tried Taco Bell today and it did not go well...

Yall.

Day 1 went SO great and you guys were super supportive (Thank you!!). I was tempted to try another smaller restaurant, likely to be more receptive of a respectful request. But how could I call myself a psychologist if I made my therapy "too easy"?

Decided to try Taco Bell. I wasn't expecting very much accomodation from a fast food place, but that is kinda the whole point of "rejection" therapy.

I called in as I was placing my order, and first made sure they weren't busy and could accommodate a special request. The guy was nonchalant about it but said they could.

Thats where the progress stopped.

I told him, "I added all of the possible onion additions to my order, but I want more on there. Should I add another same-priced add-on and you can replace it with onions yourself, or is there a way you can just make it super heavy with onions? I want to make sure I pay for what I am asking for."

He didnt get it so I said "I added all of the onions on the app, but I want a LOT. Can you just make sure its heavy, or give me a workaround to pay for more?"

He did NOT understand what I was asking. Kept trying to tell me how to add onions in the app. I had already done so, I was just trying to see if there was a way to bump it up.

When he didn't understand the first 2 times I said it simply, I started rambling nervously trying to explain, because I felt like a weirdo.

He said "okay sure"

And hung up before I could say thank you 💀😭

LORDY THAT WAS STRESSFUL. I wanted to hang up SO BAD after he didn't get it. But the whole point of this is to stop feeling ashamed of asking perfectly appropriate (albeit strange) requests. I HAVE to see it through to the end, or I have failed.

Anywho -- this is what I got for my 11 bucks... not unexpected, but I feel like they went light just to spite me.

Had to whip out the Emergency-Onion to compensate for the loss.

What do yall think? How did I do for Day 2?

anyone else chop fresh onions as a “seasoning/condiment” with their meals?

For me now, it’s almost as essential as salt and pepper. with most savory meals, i will eat them with a side of raw onion as a “seasoning”

i go thru a bag of onions a week

Onions with a side of meat plz

Once again I'm Gluten Free, so no bun, but who needs bread when you have onions?!

Turkish Stuffed Onions

We made these a while back and they were so worth it! I think it's time to make some more.

Making shish kebabs with my mom, this is hers.

One piece of steak, to 10 pieces of onion, that ratio is _____.
