Trouble At Boston Market


one more mile

Recommended Posts

I eat at Boston Market a lot when I traval. I almost walked out of one today after I was asked 6 times if I wanted something with gluten in it. This was after I told the server I was gluten intolerant and could not eat any wheat at all, I also had the allergy guide handout in my hand and was looking at it. He asked me three times If I wanted a roll, He even urged me just to take it and brake it up for the birds.

Part of it was my fault becase I had not eaten in 17 hours so just wanted him to hand me my darn food so I could eat.

I was starting to feel that I would have to take something with gluten in it just to get my food.

I feel part of the problem is the training they have at Boston market. I am almost always asked at least three times if I want something with Gluten in it. If you have had similar experiences please call their headquarters and let them know. If someone states they have an allergy to a food they should not have that food pushed on them. I feel bad for being so bugged by this I know they need to make money also and I have worked in two fast food company's but I as a consumer should not be harassed.

I called headquarters they said a Gm should call me back in a few days.

Wow...what a bad experience!! I definitely would have walked out, or just disposed of the bread right in front of their eyes so they got the point! :rolleyes: Definitely a good call on your part calling the headquarters. I'm going out this Friday and there's a Boston Market right down the street from where I'm going to be -- now I'm curious to see if I'll have a similar experience...

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
