Listen, coming from a service industry background, I’m understanding.... BUT I found the staff here to be offensive. This is related to food allergies and being politically correct/not a rude jerk. As far as the food, it was fine (what I got to actually eat.)...I wouldn’t suggest this place if you have food allergies or especially preferences because I don’t think they would take them seriously.
I saw gluten free things marked, so I asked if getting a burger and fries without a bun would be GF. The server/bartender said yes. The food comes out and the fries look buttered so I asked. He says they are sort of, but not really. I ask if they are GF and he proceeded to ask me if I was a “glu-tard” or actually have an issue where I can’t have gluten.... I was completely thrown off. I informed him I have Celiac’s and he concluded I shouldn’t eat the fries. I asked for a salad to replace the friend and he charged me $3 extra for it.
So the issue here is not the beer battered fries. Or that the he forgot they weren’t GF too. Or even that he charged me to the salad. It’s the language and the investigation into my medical history. You can’t ask someone who comes in with a service dog what their disability is and to prove it. It’s a private matter. I mean did he want me to call up my doctor? Pull up my medical history, lab and genetic reports? If I came in asking for vegan food, would they call me a “veg-tard?” I mean come on, show a little maturity.More
