Sharks can swim faster than humans but humans can run faster than sharks. Therefore in a triathlon it would come down to who’s the better cyclist.

summer means summer jobs, and that means a lot of students newly working in the food industry. be it starbucks, mcdonalds, or a local restaurant: do NOT mess with people’s food. giving someone milk when they ask for soy could kill them. giving someone meat when they ask for vegetarian could kill them. giving someone caffeine when they ask for none could kill them. people have deathly allergies and painful reactions and I have absolutely 0 sympathy for anyone who purposely messes with people’s food orders. respect people’s orders regardless of what you think would be a funny “prank” and regardless of how specific someone’s food order is. even if you had a 4 day straight shift if someone orders something specific you either do it or tell them that you cannot.

sick and disabled people should not have to be afraid of being sent to the hospital every time they go out to eat but some of you folks in the food industry really go out of your way to make us feel unsafe.

PS: if someone asks for a straw you fucking give it to them. chances are, most disabled people do not “look” how you think disability is supposed to look and if you refuse someone a straw because you doubt their need for it you are an asshole. disabled people are now being harmed and humiliated by assholes who think they have the right to determine who and who is not “worthy” of a straw.

You might think you’re “teaching someone a lesson” or “they won’t know the difference” and your intentional attack could kill someone

or make them suffer horribly

so I don’t care how rude or stuck up you’ve decided they are

intentionally tampering with food is ethically manslaughter (Doing something you know might kill with a hope to cause harm or to kill) and if it could ever be proved (can’t happen) I would believe it should be charged as such in courts.

For fuck’s sake people, don’t mess with people’s orders.

If someone’s being an asshole and you want to mess with their coffee, just make it decaf /instead/ of caffeinated (unless they asked for decaf in which case please don’t switch it.) One cup of decaf isn’t gonna hurt anybody’s health but it will make their day worse!

[mamoru]

wrong! absolutely wrong! do not mess with people’s food no matter what! it absolutely can hurt people! some people medicate with caffeine and will wind up sick without it, not to mention it might not even be for the person ordering! people can get awful migraines and other debilitating symptoms from suddenly not having enough caffeine, and who knows what else! this is exactly the attitude that leads to people getting hurt! and if anyone reading this thinks food revenge is a cool under any circumstances, do not work in food what the fuck

you do not know every condition on the planet. stop assuming something will not hurt people and how about just not fuck with people’s food

this is exactly what I was talking about

hopefully a further addition isn’t too annoying but I wanted to add, i have idiopathic hypersomnia (it’s kinda like narcolepsy but to the left and unlike narcolepsy doctors/scientists aren’t sure what causes it) and if i dont have a refill of my armodafinil then i kind of depend on caffeine to get through my day and also not like. you know. crash my car lmao

Hi. Unmedicated adhd here. If you fuck with my caffiene ratio, I literally cannot function and am likely to get a migrane. I’m always chill with my baristas because I’ve Been There Fam, but like. Shit’s sakes, nobody is awful enough to invite a *lawsuit*.

[dixie-wolf]

Hi, it’s me, you’re local migraineur and Professional Knower of Neurology Medications! Caffeine is literally an ingredient in SEVERAL migraine medications, and guess what! Some people can’t take certain medications because of comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, history of gastric surgery, and so much else! Sometimes caffeine is all they can do to help mitigate the pain! Don’t fucking give people decaf if they didn’t ask for it!

As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for a while and seen a lot of people take their anger and frustration out on customers, do NOT trust your server/bartender/MANAGER to not mess with your order. 9.99/10 times people do not want to harm you but if your physical/mental health is on the line, only trust yourself. It is a terrible reality, but something everyone must be aware of. If you don't know or see what is going into what you consume, be mindful. A lot of people do have spiteful tendencies and can even make mistakes. Especially if you go to a restaurant during a rush and ask for a regular coffee and the restaurant is out of stock, some people will serve you a decaf and say nothing because they survive on tips. In their head it means the difference between a fair wage and someone being unfair to them without understanding the true ramifications of their actions. As messed up as it is, serving a decaf and hoping the customer doesn't notice can mean the difference between a reasonable tip or none at all. People are sick on both sides.

I was actually TRAINED at a popular chain restaurant to serve people watered down regular coffee when they ask for decaf if we were out of decaf grounds.

Be careful, y'all.
