This Seems To Happen Vegan And Again
At this particular restaurant, the customers order and pay by the bar and then we bring the food out to the table.
Customer: “I’m a vegan, so can you suggest something that I can eat?”
We only have two vegan options: a salad and a pizza.
Customer: “Oooh! I’d like the pizza, please.”
She then pays and I bring out the food. A few minutes after she starts eating, she YELLS us over in the otherwise quiet restaurant to complain.
Customer: “This is so dry! Could I have some cheese on it?”
Me: “If you’d like, but I must warn you that we don’t have any vegan cheese, so if we put cheese on the pizza, it won’t be vegan anymore.”
Customer: *Stares at me like I’m an idiot* “You can eat cheese when you are a vegan.”
I then started to explain the difference between being a vegetarian and a vegan to make it clear that if she was a vegan, I advised against eating cheese. She then demanded that I put cheese on the pizza, so we did.
She got the food back, and thirty minutes or so later, we saw her leave. My colleague and I almost exploded when we saw she hadn’t even touched the pizza.
