So my wife is a vegetarian and when we went to Panda Express she would get a Cub meal with white rice and spring rolls. Panda Express recently changed the Cub meal so you can no longer get the spring rolls. So my wife thinks "I can just get a small white rice and spring rolls!" but no, the smallest rice order is a medium. I know what some are thinking, just toss what you don't finish in the trash, but that won't fly with my wife. She's been down the Struggle Road before and knows the importance of not wasting. We have officially quit eating at Panda Express.

I have a Panda Express down the road from work. It NEVER comes up on the "What are we getting for lunch?" list, because we also have a real deal Chinese food place by work as well. My Chinese food place also does Tofu General Tso! So Panda Express can keep their bland old same menu for now on. I just think its weird (Probably profit driven) that they hate vegetarians so much.
 
I was actually thinking you would just take the leftovers home. That's what I do with Chinese food. Although I would definitely look for a mom and pop restaurant over Panda Express.

I am a picky eater and usually end up ordering two things you can't get in a normal combination meal, so I end up with twice as much food as I can eat. Sometimes they accommodate me and put them in a meal for me though.
 
That doesn't really show that they "hate vegetarians". But why spend money at a chain, a franchise anyway? Only patronize real, individually owned, independent businesses. Real food, from real people.
 
My wife liked their spring rolls, and the Cub meal was the perfect portion size. She hates mushrooms and claims all the Chinese restaurants I like put mushrooms in their spring rolls. I never cared for Pande Express myself. And they do hate vegetarians! All but 2 items has meat in it. Plus they did away with the Beyond Chicken they claim sold poorly, yet they've brought it back multiple times.
 
Have you tried fire bombing them or driving your car through the front of the building?
The latter is very popular lately. 🙃

decades ago I asked them what they had that was vegetarian, and the very grumpy manager said “NOTHING ITS NOT FOR VEGETARIANS ITS PANDA EXPRESS“ so I left and never came back.
