Cheese is overrated

Summary

A straphanger unleashes a scorching hot take: cheese is overrated. Kareem can't believe it. The anonymous rider doubles down hard, calling parmesan "foot powder" and refusing cheese on everything from bacon egg sandwiches to burritos. He admits he worked at McDonald's and ordered the number two with no cheese, which he's "pretty sure" is why he got fired. The only exemption? Pizza gets a pass. Kareem pushes back relentlessly, questioning the guy's hamburger preference and trying to sell him on Gouda, queso, and mozzarella sticks, but the rider won't budge. His mom's on his team, apparently. The debate gets heated when Kareem suggests he's being anti-Italian, prompting quick backpedaling.
