Vegetarian almost destroyed by McDonald's!
Hello everyone,
As a practicing Vegetarian I wanted to let you know of an experience I had yesterday at McDonald's.
I am a Lacto Ovo Vegetarian, one who does not consume meat, fish or poultry, but will consume dairy and eggs. I am working up to becoming a Vegan.
I know McDonald's is not the best choice of a restaurant for a vegetarian, but please keep in mind that I do have a child that loves hamburgers and french fries.
As we was sitting down for lunch, I was having an Egg McMuffin with a coffee. I was opening the wrapper to put some ketchup on top, and to my surprise there was a small piece of ham on top, it was so small that if I did not take the bun off I would have never have noticed it.
I proceeded to take it up to the front counter and talk to the Manger. I told him that I am a vegetarian and ordered a McMuffin with no meat. He asked me if I ordered it correctly, I said yes. He asked if I was billed for it correctly, I said yes.
He asked if the receipt on top of the McMuffin stated that there was to be no meat, I said yes.
What happened next blew me away. He said "Thanks for letting me know." That's it!
No sorry. Can I get you another? Would you like a refund?
We just ended up leaving very upset. I take great pride in being a vegetarian and this is what happens, almost two years out the window.
The moral of this story always check you food when you are dining out, I sure will.
Thanks for reading, have a great Sunday.

Hi, I'm so happy to find more and more vegetarians at Steemit!
If you want to try vegan recipes check my blog :))
Hello,
I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you ;))
Hi Tom, thank you for sharing your story. I don't eat red meat, and am gluten & dairy free. I do not have Celiac, but I do have a gluten allergy. I definitely can appreciate your frustration with needing to avoid certain foods when dining out and the employees not caring. I had so many frustrations with one of my favorite fast-food restaurants, Panera, that I decided I had to break up with them. I felt that was the only way to properly display my frustration when they no longer listened to my complaints. I'm curious, are you still going to eat there?
Have a great day!
Hello,
Definitely not. I think that now is the time to try and get my son eating a little bit healthier.
Thanks for the comment, I really enjoy interacting with other people here.
Have a great day as well.
We had a similar experience at taco bell drive thru.
