On yarn and getting "milked"

Nov 22, 2011 11:53

I had another expedition to the yarn store this weekend. I had originally bought two skeins of that lovely baby alpaca yarn, but after getting through them the scarf was still not long enough. So my friend Gerti and I went back out to Woolwinders in Rockville to get me some more skeins and to then hang out and knit. Well. I guess I wasn't the only ( Read more... )

What happened to you is definitely not okay. But, as a columnist wrote in the Food section of the Washington Post last week, there is no national (or even state in most cases) regulations regarding allergies in dining/food-serving establishments. ...Just one of the many reasons why I always have Lactaid and some of my other crazy herbs with me when I go out to restaurants. ...non-Lactaid gas is DISGUSTING and so painful.

Lactaid doesn't do any good when I've already unknowingly consumed the dairy. And I don't take Lactaid unless I know (or guess) that dairy might be an ingredient. When I order, and pay for, soy, I expect soy. Allergies shouldn't even come into it, I should get what I paid for.

I absolutely agree with you and I would be pissed as HELL. In fact, as soon as I figured out what happened, I probably would've called the place, spoken with the manager, and really ripped them a new one. Mistaking orders should never be excused. :(

And that sucks - if I consume some dairy, I'm at least able to take Lactaid within 15 mins or so and be fine. :(

I can usually take Lactaid within about 10 minutes of first consumption, and be reasonably ok. But with this drink, I was sipping it slowly over the course of 40 minutes, and I couldn't taste that it was cows milk. It wasn't until the nausea started to kick in that I realized something was wrong. :(

I did file a complaint online, and have received an apology. I'm still not going back there again. First time, the drink wasn't great. This time, the drink made me ill. And, done!

Totally! I mean, it's one thing if it's OBVIOUS, but I know from experience that if it's decent soy, you can't taste the difference (especially with other flavorings).

Yeah, not going back is the best thing - I mean, why patronize a business that obviously does not care about you, the consumer?

JERKS.
