Rant.
I work at a pizza place. I worked carry out tonight. I had a customer who said he was looking for “vegan” options.
I told him we really didn’t have that because most of our pasta sauces have some dairy in it. But we could do a cheese-free pizza or salad if he wanted it.
I pointed out the green “V” symbol dictating VEGETARIAN options. He sees the symbol next to a cheese pizza. Disgusted, he asks me.
“How is the cheese pizza vegetarian? It has cheese.”
I kindly informed him that it was vegetarian not vegan. But he wouldn’t hear it.
“Cheese has milk in it! Milk comes from animals. It’s liquid meat!”
Obviously I kept the customer voice/face the whole time but in my head I’m dumbfounded because in this mans opinion, breastfeeding is the equivalent of feeding our babies meat! Like, how stupid do you have to be?? Yes, dairy is animal PRODUCT. But it’s not meat! I don’t feel pain or need anything chopped off when I’m breastfeeding. He was so uninformed about his own diet!! I couldn’t believe it.
End rant.

@breediddy13 I grew up in this business. My mom and I ran a restaurant when I was in high school. My brother and I swore we would never work in the industry again. 25 years later...he's a Chef de Cuisine at one of Boise's most popular restaurants, and I'm bartending at a major theme park resort here in Orlando 🤦 I wouldn't change a thing, though!
@sassybitch, I too have worked as a waitress and it’s the most stressful, anger-inducing thing I’ve ever done. I worked it for nearly 10 years.
🤣🤣milk is liquid meat🤣🤣
What a dumbass.
Congrats on keeping your cool. I definitely could not have. And that's why I don't work directly with customers. Lol
As a fellow industry gal, I totally feel your pain! I've said it before...it would be cool to have an industry group on here, but I wouldn't want to be the admin. I don't care to have any kind of responsibility on here.
Sounds like he simply didn’t know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. 😓
@sassybitch, my grandma has owned a restaurant for over 25 years. I worked it all through high school and after graduation. I pray to god I never have to go back to waitressing. I hated it. Just thinking about it makes me angry 😂
I had a customer throw a giant fit and throw his food at me because his chicken was “artificialized.” Grandma had to make him leave because he was making such a scene all because he wanted s free meal. Nothing was even wrong with the chicken. 😓
