1st and foremost, I have an extreme sensitivity to pork.
My children and I went out to eat immediately after school because I hadn’t eaten all day working. So, after viewing the menu online, and I seen on the menus when we got there that the macaroni and cheese was served with pork.
My children (9 & 11) knowing my sensitivity, we all 3 asked if there was another option for Mac & cheese, WITH NO PORK!!! The bartender/waitress told us YES, they can make it with absolutely no pork, but with chicken instead. So we ordered it to share.
As she was ringing our order in, directly after we ordered I literally yelled across the restaurant ‘MAKE SURE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PORK IN ANY OF THE FOOD”! She said yep, got it…
I cannot make this up!!!
she then had the food served to us by another waitress, and the MAC & cheese was LOADED with chicken, so I split it in 3 and I began to scarfed it down… then aftera few bites my daughter (9 years old) says “dad what’s this”, and as she held up a portion of her Mac & Cheese the cook brings me my sauces (instead of the waitress), and he said “That’s bacon” … we froze in utter disbelief!!!
… I said WHAT! This is supposed to be NO PORK!
He said “that’s impossible, we cook the Mac & cheese directly in the bacon grease”. 😳😡🤬
I said WHAT!!!! I ate this food and I have av VERY high intolerance to pork!!! He then realized the seriousness… At 1st he tried to make excuses for the waitress and I said ‘’’’’NO PORK’’’’’ and pointed at the huge piece of dam near RAW bacon on my daughters plate from her portion of the Mac & Cheese!!!
he went and checked with the waitress and she rung it up as chicken WITH PORK!!!! Where he ground bacon directly into the meal!
He asked to do a make up meal, so I chose another off the menu. But I started getting sick almost immediately!!! The feeling is similar to when you drink too much alcohol and you throw up, but then when you get to the stomach acid part and you feel dizzy & woozie! It is the most HORRIBLE feeling!! Especially when you expected good food!!!!!
I had ate on a completely empty stomach, so I had immediately gotten sick within 15 minutes after this and I threw up in my hands on the way to the bathroom and for about 20 minutes 2 times all together! I then realized this wasn’t going to stop, so I had them package my food and they gave my daughters a dessert and we left the macaroni and left without paying…
I almost ran out the door and gave my daughters the keys to my truck and I ran to the bushes in the parking lot and threw up again for 15 + minutes, dry heaving and vomiting my guts out. HOW FREAKING EMBARRASSING having all those people stare at me driving by!!!!
My daughters called their mother to come get them (we are divorced and it was my time with them) thankfully she works very close by so she was there RIGHT away! so I went to drive home but then kept pulling over vomiting, so called urgent care… they had me talk to poison control, and poison control said since I had a extremely high sensitivity to pork I was most likely experiencing toxicity shock food poisoning! And that I was going to have to ride it out!
I missed work tonight from this, and it caused me to have extreme pain in my gut, throat, back, head, neck disabling me… (i have thrown up once while writing)
I feel extremely violated and want them to pay for what they made us go through! And what I will have to experience in recovery!!!!! As if a free meal makes up for such a HORRIBLE experience!!!! That is NOT a “mistake”!!!! That woman VIOLATED me!!! And a RUINED my time with my children and my weekend!!! As I will have to recover now!!!
I am pursuing legal guidance for what was done to me!
That waitress should be put on leave for what she did if not fired!
Be VERY VERY careful with nonchalant waitresses and waiters that do NOT take your handicaps and food allergies serious!!! If it doesn’t affect them then they will keep doing it to others! And I am going to pursue consultation in my best next steps to have recompense! I gave her TO many chances to do what was right
