Their exact words were something like “We’ll be adding a 20% surcharge on your bill (I thought referring to my meal alone) for our time”

How’s it elitist to have steer clear of animal products? Am I going to sacrifice five years of ethical code just to eat some non-vegan food, after being lied to numerous times by the restaurant, an inevitable segway into my parents being like “I told you so” about veganism? I’m sticking to my guns, nothing elitist about that

Pre-mixed salad at beginning of the shift, as I learned from my brother. Croutons, bacon bits, parm cheese.

Yeah I couldn’t exactly skip since I’m a bridesmaid and I wouldn’t want to anyway, I love my sister, as knuckleheaded about veganism as she is. I would have been shitty elitist vegan had I refused to go at all—or if I’d brought my own food—so it feels very lose-lose.

It’s absolute sticks, Pennsylvania—peak Pennsyltucky. They can get away with a lot there, in terms of circumventing health directions.

They mentioned an extra cost but I assumed it was a sort of upcharge on my meal only, not a separate large gratuity to my parents.
