I had cheese put into my food before, but now I was given meat-meat and not only once but twice (different places).
It wasn’t even by people not understanding what veganism is, it was just a very blatant swap.
Sure, I got money back, but I’m wondering: has the acceptance of vegans gone down and malice towards us gone up? I would’ve thought it would’ve gotten better over time.
I’m asking because I’m so far removed from the vegan community I forget I’m vegan because the store being “empty” for me is the norm, as is checking labels etc; I’ve no clue whether other vegans are facing similar issues as of late.
That is perplexing. Have you contacted them to ask them about this? If it is new ownership, for example, that’d probably help you understand what happened and whether or not you want to try eating there again
No, I didn’t contact them. It’s extremely clearly intentional to me and I merely won’t give them money again.
I swung by to see a few more times and they still only sell meat-meat one, not even a vegan version and non-vegan version. I don’t get why a vegan place would switch like this, but fuck them.
