My fiancée does not know how to order off a menu. Actually she does, she doesn't care to order from a menu like most people do.

Going out to eat with her is pretty much an hour long ordeal of me gritting my teeth while she racks up a bill 3x mine, all while trying nicely to steer her to just one item. She'll open the menu, get overwhelmed with options, and end up ordering a la carte from places that do not work that way, asking for endless substitutions and upcharges. As an example, at a restaraunt, she might not be able to decide between a burger or chicken tenders, so she'll ask for "a half order" of both of them, then she likes the sound of one specific dipping sauce that comes with another entree so she'll ask for a cup of that, etc. Etc. I'll say something before we go in, she'll promise me she'll just get a water, and then get a water - and a margarita. It's draining. At this point, we go out maybe once pr twice a year unless something forces us out more than that.

The scenario that prompted this rant was that tonight was one of those times. Our bill was $82.10. My entree plus water was $10.99.

This might've already been addressed by the artist but I dont use social media so I wouldn't know.

Reading through the wikipedia page on leetspeak because it's a slow day at work and something caught my eye:

Am I tripping for making the connection to Charli XCX's brat album from last year? Would definitely be on brand for the artist.

Online marketplaces (like eBay) should mark all "ungiven" feedback as positive unless the buyer specifically opts-out of giving feedback (which must be selected on each order) or, obviously, leaves negative feedback. The current system punishes good sellers just for selling their items to buyers who can't be bothered to click through two forms on an email.

People are very quick to leave feedback when something goes wrong but rarely go out of their way to write a review when the order is fulfilled just as expected, this artificially inflates negative feedback. The feedback system I'm suggesting would counter this effect.

An order where nothing goes wrong is a "good" order! If an item you ordered arrives exactly as you expected, when you expected, etc., then the seller should receive positive feedback on their end, yet people rarely do so because they consider that the bare minimum. Counterpoint: Maybe so, but what's the "above and beyond" in that situation? The reality is that marketplaces require sellers to have positive ratings in order to succeed.
