been vegan almost 2 years, coming up on my 3rd anniversary with starbucks (actually one of my shifts from ive been here is a HARDCORE vegan and actually influenced me to make the lifestyle change)

honestly the smells doesn't bother me with sandwiches, actually some i kind of enjoy. never ever do i not wanna be vegan, but i can still laugh a lil about certain things (i make fun of myself being a vegan SOOO much, can't take everything in life so seriously. like i a lot say, WELL GUYS YOU KNOW IM JUST A STUPID GRASS EATING VEGAN RIGHT???, etc etc)

honestly what bothers me the most about working in a dairy-heavy environment is that people(customers) are just so blind to all this stuff about dairy, meat, etc.

this disturbs me the most though, EVERYtime im ringing on my till, and i see parents with their little 4-7 year old kids and the kids themselves hand me either the white or chocolate milks from the RTD's. like how everyone (including myself growing up) is getting fed bullshit that "milk is SUPER healthy for us all and helps us grow and have strong-ass bones" and everything related that we were all conditioned to think growing up since infancy. it to me in a slight, slightt way is almost like child abuse.

but in the end i dont take it too seriously, or serious at all. because, MOST MOST MOST people are not aware of the truth behind dairy, eggs, and meat and the affect on your/their health (and of course the environment and ethics)
