#997 Corporate Anti-Vegetarianism

Me: Do you guys like...have a salad without meat?

Wendy's Girl: Uh...yeah our Caesar Side Salad...and our Regular Side Salad...

Me: Alright can i just have the Caesar Side Salad? No meat, right?

Wendy's Girl: (With 'TUDE) Yeah no I just said, no meat.

(20 minutes later, in my car, far away from Wendy's)

Me: Yeah this salad has bacon bits in it.


Now I know it's a little unfair to label the entire Wendy's chain anti-vegetarian. But seriously, a paying customer should expect certain things from food the service industry.

I expect that the person serving me, educated or not, should know what they're selling. I expect them to know their product enough to know what it has and does not have. I expect my cashier to know that bacon is, in fact, meat and I expect to not have meat in my salad when I've been given an "are-you-freaking-dumb? I-just-said-there-was-no-meat" attitude.

For future reference, I'm donating the following diagram to the Wendy's corporation for training purposes. They can place it right beside the "Employees Must Wash Hands" signs placed in the back. They should also send it through corporate e-mails so it can be passed down in an umbrella-like fashion, all the way down to the cashiers.

The very concept of putting bacon bits in a salad is ridiculous in the first place. Nevermind the fact that I'm a vegetarian, people order salads as a healthier option. It's SO much healthier, I bet, now that you've doused it with chunks of fried crunchy pig. It's like...hey, I'm a smoker, but I'm going to quit smoking because I heard it's harmful. I'm going to place my DSLs around a non-filtered Massachussets School Bus exhaust pipe instead.

Don't get me started on the fact that they don't really even have real vegetarian options. As if this would alienate the rest of their customers or feel they'll lose money because having a 94 percent meat menu realy isn't enough meat. Effing meat quota or some effing thing.

I HATE IT!
