It's a Jeopardy category, if you read it in Alex Trebek's voice it makes sense.
My trick for this is to replace "I don't know" with "not to my knowledge" or "not as far as I know".
Same sentiment, but much less pushback from others.
If the always-available soups aren't on the menu, I agree that's dumb. However, I highly doubt that's what's happening to OP.
In theory, sure,
In reality, I promise you no overworked restaurant staff wants to bother with updating a website daily on the off-chance someone needs to know the soupe du jour. You'd probably just get the wrong information because no one updated it.
If you absolutely must know the soup availability, you can always just call the restaurant. The employees will make fun of you behind your back, but they'll pretend to be glad to inform you!
Je n'habite pas au Québec mais j'follow l'excellente Celeste Trianon sur Instagram et elle partage tellement d'abus de pouvoir de la SPVM que j'ai même plus de haine pour eux que pour la GRC (qui occupe les fonctions de police municipale dans ma ville).
Être pire que la GRC, faut l'faire...
Et le racisme systémique des agents de police?
Qu'est-ce que tu veux dire? Ça n'existe pas le racisme systémique au Québec, penses-tu vraiment que menonc' Legault nous aurait menti??
(Parenthèse: Lire cet article me fait m'ennuyer du gouvernement Trudeau, chose que j'aurais cru impensable il y a juste quelques années. Son faux-wokisme était quand même préférable au néolibéralisme robotique de Carney, selon moi.)
A lot of places do soups and salads based on seasonal availability, and IMO having something on the menu that's unavailable is a worse customer experience than not having them on the menu and having the waiter/waitress tell them the daily offerings.
If they only serve a single type of soup per day but listed all of them on the menu, the staff would definitely have to deal with disgruntled customers who don't understand why they can't order the thing they're reading off the menu.
I find it hard to take these travels advisories seriously while the US is still in the green.
Like how is the US under a fascist government, with ICE having detained Canadian tourists, deemed "safer" than most European countries?
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!

Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
