> I do not want to order the sloppy toppy burger at BURGERSLUT. Just give me a cheeseburger.

Seems odd to complain about the kitschy menu item names after walking into BURGERSLUT intent on ordering

You don’t always get to choose the restaurant. Sometimes your friends drag you places. Sometimes your sister in law wants to go take a photo of the Castro Theater and then get a cookie, and you find yourself in Hot Cookie calling a chocolate chip a Basic Bitch. I just think that these kinds of "perfect agency" gotchas ignore the tradeoffs of living an actual life.
