They Prefer The Term “Meat-Averse”
(I am taking a rather large to-go breakfast order for a customer when this exchange occurs.)
Customer: “Egg and cheese… That’s poultry right?”
Me: “What?”
Customer: “Poultry. Poultry means vegetarian, right?”
Me: *blank stare* “Um, sometimes vegetarians eat poultry and animal products. It just depends on the person. There’s not a rule.”
Customer: “Oh, okay. People are just changing all of this political correctness and I don’t know what things mean anymore. You’ll ask stupid questions when you’re my age and people change what words mean.”
(For the rest of the order, she kept saying she was worried that she would offend someone.)
