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...

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
