I understand the outrage, and EGR I'm a big fan of yours, but we are ALL hypocrites. We are hypocrites when we get outraged about the treatment of children at the border but but clothes made in sweatshops. We are hypocrites when we get upset about animal cruelty but don't care how our meat is grown. No one, and I mean…

"...the biggest black eye the League has ever had..."

I went somewhere like that, with a friend who says she has an intolerance. I was ready to punch her. She did exactly what you described. Refused to eat "just soup" (the only thing this tiny restaurant could guarantee was safe), and ordered something they said wasn't safe because she'd had it before and been fine,…

She's been spouting vile, unfunny garbage her whole career. My condolences to her family but let's not pretend she's any sort of a paragon of feminism.

She was horrible to people of color, she was vile toward transgender people, she dismissed the poor and the developmentally disabled. She was great in a lot of ways, but she was no Robin Williams.

"...Tobacco products have no place in a setting where health care is delivered."

The "servers will just spit in your food" trope is so offensive. Newsflash, servers aren't such vile lowlifes that they'll tamper with your food because you didn't like the way your steak was cooked.

I can't help but add to this - it's my first time ever commenting on Jezebel. I've seen it done once in all my years in restaurants, and it was in former Alberta premier Ralph Klein. If you're unfamiliar with Canadian politics, fear not, he deserved it.

"GLUTEN FREE WHOLE WHEAT!?!?!?!?!"

The faux gluten allergists (and half of them actually think they have real gluten allergies) have basically made it so that the chefs at every restaurant I've worked at have instructed us to say, 'There is literally nothing on the menu that is gluten free,' unless there's a regular customer coming in with a long-…

Exactly.

For instance, our main salad has salami as an ingredient. No big deal, right? But salami and a lot of other hard meats use gluten as a binder. So if you're gluten free, make sure to ask for no salami! Shit like that gets everywhere. Gluten, corn, peanut oil...

Ah I see you've met my "gluten-allergic" SiL who yet still magically is able to drink BEER!

I've worked in at least a dozen restaurants in the US and Canada, and I have also never witnessed or heard secondhand of servers spitting in people's food. I admit that I've joked about it, even half-heartedly threatened to in low-voice conversations with my coworkers. But I've never done it, I've never seen it done,…

How does any contractor get a job? They put in the lowest possible bid.

in.... 6th grade, they separated the girls and boys, took them into different classrooms, and had us watch a video about "our growing bodies"

FTFY

Well, the problem with SF is that it isn't liveable anymore, not just for the poor, but the middle class as well. Unless you have an income that's quite a bit higher than the average income for the area (which is already quite a bit higher than the national average), you can't live there. It now has the nation's…
