[Work] Oof. So the problem is that nothing...is standardized in what I get sent lmao.

like

I can get a text being all "add this wine" with a pic of it, okay, can do that, gotta find a good image and edit it and figure out where the wine even IS in the menu and all that but sure

then an email with a list of pics that aren't all fully labeled and I'm like the fuck do you want me to do with this

then a text with three pictures, three item names separately, two descriptions

(all for different places)

instructions aren't always clear, especially on the restaurant owners' ends, so I have to just make shit up. hey if you don't like where I put your gnocchi on the menu then not my fuckin problem, you should've told me, kanyeshrug

idk. I mean I guess over time I'll get used to figuring out what people are actually asking for but.

Instructions not clear. Eating mouse

I wish there were some standards set up

Ah well lol

ffffff right

like lmfao right now some restaurant now has "Burger 1" and "Burger 2" on their menu because they didn't tell me what the fuck the burger pics they sent us are supposed to be under (and they don't fit anything already on the menu)

so I'm sure they'll get back to us soon wondering what's up and hopefully telling us what they actually wanted with them. told my boss to ask them about those pics but yeah. lmao.

coworker just said to publish the thing with burger 1 and burger 2 so whateveeeeeeeeeeeer

That's customers for you. Often times, they know what they want, but can't articulate it, and expect you to be able to translate what they're saying into what they're imagining.

I've been through this when I was doing websites for an ad agency. Their clients waffled all the time.

Nothing was standardized. And, while the account execs are supposed to work out what things mean for us in that situation, there were tons of times where they'd just pass on exactly what the client said expecting the coders to just figure it out.
