Ignorant Server Of The Day

The white/wheat thing is always the classic. It really goes to show how little people know about what goes into the food they eat.

I think my best in that category was when I asked about a dish described as having asian noodles. Thinking it was somewhat possible they'd be rice noodles, I asked if they had any wheat in them. Waiter goes off to check and comes back and confidently declares that they're "definitely not" wheat noodles. No, they're more like lo mein. Um, thanks.

I ordered a meal @ Red Lobster and made sure it had no breading, etc, etc (explained everything).. and it came with salad. The salad had... croutons. Sigh.

I always get "well we dont have whole wheat bread here, so you're okay."

Or, "we have lots of pasta dishes you could try."

Or, "how about fish n' chips?"

Sigh.

The good thing in all of this, is all of these postings are not only providing us humor when we need it, but gives us the opportunity to teach restaurants. That's what we need to remember. I do feel bad for some reading some of these (the pancake batter girl - I feel for you!). I think the important thing to do as a follow up is to write a letter/notecard to the chef/manager either thanking them or a note about Celiac and what can be done next time. That stuff goes a long way.

OK, I know this is a down on servers post because, hey, they can be very ignorant, and I have had a few...

Anyway, I went to a place that I haven't been back to in about a year because I always get a little sick, just some gas, not bad but it was the only place without a bar that one of our co-workers will go to that I can eat at so I went. I was going to flag the waitress down, let her know that I am a pain in the butt customer, and she goes, no problem, I remember your order, you want just guac with your burger without a bun again??????? She had my whole order down pat and I am sure I have only been to her once before.

Needless to say, she got another big fat tip!!!!!!!

I had a really dumb surver this afternoon. I went to lunch at a place that serves breakfast all day long. I ordered a veggie omlet without cheese and I explained my food limitations to the waitress. I went through everything like;no milk in the eggs, no toast, no seasonings, check for cc, and I gave her one of my triumph dining cards to show the chef. She assured me that it would be no problem to prepare a gluten-free meal and that she knew someone with celiac. Hearing that really releaved me, and when my food came, I ate in confidence. Well, after I was done with my omlet, she asked me how I liked it. I told her that it was one of the best omlets that I'd ever had.

-She replied, " I thought you'd like it because I had them make it special for you."

-Me, "You did, what did they do?".

-Stupid (smiling; very proud of herself), " Well, since you said that you didn't want milk or cheese used, I thought that the omlet would fall apart, so I had them mix pancake batter into the eggs to make it better."

-Me (In utter disbelief), "You did what???!!!! I told you that I can't have that stuff!!!!! Didn't you show the chef my card???"

-O Brilliant One (talking to me as if I were a two year old), "Sweetie, I didn't have to show him the card because we don't make wheat pancakes here; only white ones, and those won't make you sick because they're just made out of flour, eggs, and water, so you'll be just fine."

Well, I haven't been fine since about 30 minutes after finishing. I ate a HUGE omlet filled with gluten. I was so upset at the restaurant that I started crying. The manager apoligized to me, took care of our tab, and he gave the waitress a lecture about listening to what a customer says and if they tell you to give something to the chef, do it. He then decided to tell all of the servers that if any customer says that they have a food allergy or intolerance, they must have the chef come out and talk to the person to verify what can be used. I was really pleased with how the manager handled things because he was really on top of the situation. I kind of felt bad for my server because she really was trying to be nice and I know that she felt bad about what she did, but she should have listened to what I told her to do.

Right now, I'm in horrible pain. The worst I've ever felt. I've also developed a new symptom; muscle cramps, which are absolutely horrible. My legs do not want to work :(:(

That is so awful! This is actually one of my greatest fears when dining out...either the kitchen is going to innocently slip in an ingredient they think is gluten-free that isn't, and not tell me, or the server is going to rush over to the table after I'm halfway through the dish and say, "Ooops, we gave you the wrong one. That one isn't gluten-free!"

I hope you are feeling better. I guess the only positive point of your story is the manager's proactive reaction, though I'm sure that was of little consolation when you were doubled over with pain.

Ignorant manager of the day!!

I was working a lunch shift, at Outback, on Saturday...and the manager was having everyone try the new dishes that were being added to the menu (which are not listed on the "old" gluten-free menu). I insisted that I wasn't interested in trying the new dish (corn cakes, chicken and shrimp covered in a "wasabi" sauce). He showed me the ingredient list for the corn cakes and insisted that I was fine eating it...and he said he checked the ingredients in the sauce and said it was fine too. So - I ate a nice sized bite (yummy, by the way!). He asked like 2 minutes later if I was feeling okay! haha! I said it takes more time than that for it to register. Well, a while goes by and my stomach is starting to feel kinda queasy. And I'm just figuring that it's all in my head - because I was assured that everything was fine. It was such a slow day at work and I was dying to go home - so I thought I'm just imagining the discomfort because I'd love to get out of here! It starts to get a little worse.... ugh! Now I know I'm not imagining the pain. I happened to over-hear someone saying something about soy sauce (have no idea what they were talking about - those are the only words I heard). So - it dawns on me that maybe there's soy sauce in the wasabi stuff... which of course my manager wouldn't think of wheat being in that ingredient. So, I ask him about it. And he's like "You're allergic to Soy too!?" And I told him that "No, but there's hardly any soy sauces that don't contain wheat - so chances are the soy sauce in the wasabi sauce has plenty of it!" *Smacks forehead* I wish I had insisted on seeing the ingredients for the sauce as well as the corn cakes!! So - I guess this is an Ignorant ME story! Thank goodness I only ate one bite - and only payed for it "a little bit" compared to what it could have done!

don't you get tired of them telling us what we can have or not when WE KNOW what's bad for us and what isn't? And implying we're crazy or at least hypochondriac when in fact it's their ignorance that can really hurt us! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

He better not b--ch at you when you call in sick today! I hope you don't have too many troubles due to this idiot. Even that little bit would leave me feeling awful for at least 2 weeks.

:) Thanks for your concern! I was feeling better the next day. My symptoms (if any) don't last very long. My manager (boss) is actually a really good guy - just had a stupid moment at the time. I'm using this for my benefit though!! Almost everyone will have to work on Mother's Day. There are many reasons why I am not able to work that day - but he doesn't seem to find those reasons "valid" (or he's just joking around....and likes to cause me stress when he plans on letting me have the day off?). So - yesterday I told him that I'd make a deal with him - he'd give me Mother's Day off, and I won't hold it against him forever that he made me sick last Saturday!! :D *Shrugs* We'll see what happens!

I have to admit...before I had Celiac, I didn't think white bread had wheat in it...

OMG I totally had an experience like that at a deli my by CT office. I only come to this office once a week and one day had gone to some random deli in Wilton, ordered a lettuce wrap sandwich, told him to please make it on a paper so it doesn't touch the counter, don't cut it in half, etc. I went back a couple months later and was completely floored when the guy remembered me!!!

My mother and I (both celiac) were in a Chinese restaurant. She asked the waiter if the sauce had any wheat in it, he hesitantly mumbled "No, no". Assuming there might be some lauguage barrier she tried to clarify and asked if they thicken the sauce with flour. He looked at her astonished and exclaimed, "We no use flowers in sauce!"

I usually have good experiences at Chilis and know what I can order. However, one time I ordered a side salad with my meal and after explaining that I can't have dairy or anything with gluten, etc. I got my salad with both crutons and cheese.

Also, no matter the fact I explain that I have dairy and gluten allergies...servers don't understand that butter is dairy...they think that I just don't want any sort of oil. I ordered grilled fish on several occasions at various places and request no butter - they say, "well, they have to grill it in a little something." I have to ensure that oil is fine - as much oil as they want to put, but butter is dairy too.

Frustrating.

elonwy Enthusiast

I get the exact opposite, where they refuse to put butter or anything on my food after I explain the gluten thing. I'm ok with dairy, so I'd rather have it, and get kind of irked when they come out an explain that they made sure there was no butter in my food. At no point do I even bring dairy or butter up! I usually don't fight it though.

Can't say I blame you--pretty much tastes like sawdust, doesn't it? ;)

kabowman Explorer

My Chili's servers suggest you tell them what you want ON your salad, not what you want left OFF - however, every time I go in, I tell them what I want left OFF and they ask, so you just want...?

Guest mvaught

Elonwy- maybe we need to trade restaurants - lol. the fates are making it hard on us.

well, seems like a lot of people have had the "we don't use wheat" not realizing that flour is wheat. i had the same experience tonight at a mexican restaurant - i told the waitress, that" i can't have wheat, you know, flour." and she said, we don't use wheat - but there is flour. then, of course i had to ask for no butter which she said she could note. i asked if the chips were in a fryer that was just chips and she came back and said "there is no flour in anything" (assuming she meant the stuff i was eathing and ordering). well, i don't know what did it - the chips, the fish i ordered, rice, black beans or plantains - but something was contaminated and i was immediately sick - i wanted to talk to the manager about it (because the server said she had talked to the manager to confirm) but i felt so bad that we just left the place - happy cinco for me - um, no.

Ok I know this post hasn't been touched in a while, but I just have to add my stupid server story...

This happened a while ago at my local Chevy's restaurant, maybe the 2nd time I'd been there since being diagnosed last June. Rather than explain the gluten issue, I just told the server I was allergic to wheat when asking about the food... he looked at me funny and said "You're allergic to weed?!" then started laughing at what he thought I had said... So I told him nooo, I'm allergic to WHEAT. So he said, that's ok, we don't serve bread here...!

Had to share that one...

Miss Samantha Newbie

we were in a small little market that carries a lot of different beers (we had just moved to town) and my boyfriend was being nice and asked the guy if they carried "new grist GLUTEN FREE beer" the fella behind the counter said "uh sir, all beer is vegan..."

ha. um. yeah...

I finally have an ignorant story of my own to share. After months of no Mexican food (out) I decided that I was sure I could have the taco salad (not in shell) if nothing else so off we went for dinner. Mostly I wanted a margarita but anyway, I had the mexican food gluten-free dining card and showed it to the server. Then I told her I wanted the # whatever with enchiladas but I needed to make sure the sauce (and everything) was okay so she should take the card back to the kitchen and ask. I was very nice, not pushy but she insisted everything was okay so then I had to insist (since I assumed she was not a server AND the chef) that she take the card back to the kitchen and ask about the sauce (and everything else). So she did and sure enough she returns and informs me I can NOT have the sauce. She later brings me my meal, not only was there no sauce, the rice was tasteless...guess they put the sauce in the rice too... I was happy that I did not get sick but it was surely the most boring Mexican meal I've ever had. So now if I want to eat there it will be a taco salad without the shell since everything else there is off limits. Now I've got to go start dinner for tonight - Mexican food with enchilda sauce I can have but sadly I will not be having a margarita - lol!

This makes me think of my story - I was at a music fest and this guy had a stand with all these different flavors of dipped ice cream bars in dark or light chocolate. I'm a chocoholic so I wanted dark chocolate ice cream dipped in dark chocolate but asked first if the ice cream had any wheat in it. "You want to know if the ice cream has any MEAT in it???" the guy asks me, incredulous. I had a great laugh at that one...

ha. um. yeah...

That's a good one, but isn't beer technically not vegan as it has yeast in it? I have a vegan friend who won't drink beer - that's fine with me as I don't drink it either. We can bond over something in our diet! :)

No offense to any hispanics reading this but... I have terrible luck communicating about "wheat" with folks from South of the US border. At Jack-in-the-box I drew blank stares when I said I had a wheat allergy. One person asked, "what is wheat?". I said, "It's the stuff they make flour out of, and bread". Still got an utterly blank look. They looked at me as if I had tentacles sprouting from my head.

Maybe it is just young people not knowing basic things, like what food is made from. Seems like I knew that by the time I left grade school....

That probably also has something to do with the fact that authentic Mexican food does not use any wheat. The primary grain is corn.

I had an awful time explaining it to a Cuban chat buddy, in Spanish, of course.

"I can't eat wheat"

"OK"

"I can't eat wheat flour"

"OK"

"I can't eat bread or pizza or pasta..."

"OMG!!!"

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability.

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
