Today, I went to a restaurant and asked for vegetarian options. They told me, "We have a chicken Caesar salad, will that work?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I were out to eat. The waiter came and asked what we wanted. My boyfriend said he wanted a cheeseburger and I told the waiter I'd have the same. My boyfriend looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want a salad?" FML
Today, a customer bitched me out, saying he wouldn't eat his vegetarian dish because it didn't "look vegetarian enough." He then demanded a refund and a plate of the same vegetarian dish. FML
Today, while I was working at Chipotle, a teenage girl asked in all seriousness if she "could have a steak burrito, but with like, chicken instead?" FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with some friends, trying to be cultured by ordering in French. I confidently said to the waiter, “Je voudrais le poulet, s'il vous plaît.” The waiter stared at me and said, “Sir, this is a Chinese restaurant.” FML
Today, whilst working my waitressing job, I had a patron lose his rag at me because there was too much "green stuff" in his salad. What did he expect? Chicken? FML
Today, I went to the cafeteria at work like I usually do, but couldn't find anything I liked. Turns out there's a new policy in place: the cafeteria is now serving only vegan foodstuffs. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. She ordered shrimp fettuccine, and I asked why. She slowly explained to me that vegetarians can eat shrimp, then muttered that she now knows who has the brains in our relationship. FML
Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML
Today, I went on my first date in 8 years. While we were looking at the menu, the guy said: "So if you're vegetarian, why're you so fat?" FML
Today, the family I was serving had ordered calamari and when I brought out the food, they started yelling at me because apparently their daughter was allergic to it. Just why would you order it then? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

They can't even say chickens are vegetarians so it will get passed on to you

Um so? That's what you get for having a bad choice of diet. People/restaurants aren't required to baby your improper food choices

You don't understand how business work, do you?

Actually, no, you don't. Demand drives business. There is a demand for vegetarian options. Therefore, it is profitable to supply to the demand.

It's not profitable unless there is a a high enough demand for it.

There is not a high enough demand to out weigh the cost, 100. Obviously, or they would have vegetarian options.

There's only a demand for vegan/veg options at places that want to cater to them. Ditto with triple extra large clothing.

Most proper Caesar Dressings have anchovies in it, they probably said chicken at the beginning out of habit

Totally understand, I'm allergic to soy. Went out for frozen yogurt, asked if it had soy and was answered with "no its dairy free"

YDI. Vegetarian is a euphemism for "Big Pain In The Ass".

I feel ya. I work at Pizza Hut and today my manager made some chicken lovers pizza, knowing I'm a vegetarian. I told her I appreciated it, and that its okay f everyone else eats it Because as I had said, I'm a vegetarian. She said "oh! But it doesn't have meat!" Me: "yeah... Chicken is meat. Let me clarify: i don't eat anything that has fur, feathers, etc. no animals" Her: "okay but you can still have a slice! It's already dead"

Should've went out back and got some grass. Lol. Damn vegetarians. Where's my steak?

Wow. All the hate against vegetarians. You know, I'm not in any way, shape, or form a vegetarian, but I'll still respect people for not liking what they don't like.
