So my family and I were at Subway today and I asked if I could have tuna salad with no bread. The young !$#@ was insisting on charging me for the full price of a 6" sub, for one dallop of tuna salad. I informed him that I had surgery and could not hold much and prefer not to pay full price for a sandwich when I would be throwing away the bread. He snaps back at me "we are not lapband friendly". My DH insisted on walking out. As we were leaving, the server said to his friend "that's disgusting". We called their corporate office and were informed that it wasn't their problem! What is with that? Has anyone else had this problem? I was mortified. However, I chose not to allow others' ingnorance get me down. I will keep on keeping on. :bolt:

I think people are still not getting the point of this post and unfortunately are too busy defending their responses.

I believe you just wanted to share that your feelings were hurt by a rude server. I'm truely sorry about that. No one deserves disrespect. Personally I don't see anything wrong with asking. How do you know if you don't ask. AND if you want to tell people that you had WLS that's YOUR choice. Wave a flag if you want to cause it's your life and your surgery. I am pretty quite about my plan to get the surgery, but I support people that are comfortable being vocal.

All I know is that you weren't asking to be supported in asking for a reduced price, you were hurt and asking for support from fellow bandsters. I feel ya, and I'm sorry.

Sometimes people do need a kick in the ass, but not right after they were humiliated in a Subway. C'mon people. Be a little more sensitive.

Ditto !!!!! :-)
