As someone who worked in a pizza place, we had a gluten-free crust available to anyone who asked for it. One day a woman calls for a gluten-free pizza and we made it for her, but barely five minutes after it was delivered she called demanding her money back because the pizza crust was thin and basically like a cracker. We told her that's how gluten-free crust is, and she quickly backtracked with a replacement order. Guess she was part of that trendy crowd who didn't know what gluten-free meant.
I honestly feel bad for the gluten intolerant/allergy people, they have to put up with so much bs and hate because of the gluten ignorant's behavior and stupidity.
Story 3: When will new managers/supervisors/bosses ever learn? If you're gonna implement changes to "improve productivity", "increase efficiency", "crack down on lateness" or/and "reduce costs", DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES EVERYTHING WORK!!!!
That was my strategy whenever I had a management position. If I wanted to find out how to make things better, who else should I ask but the workers? Yeah of course that generated a lot if idiocy, but at the same time, a lot of damn good ideas were produced. Reward bonus to the people with the good ideas worked well for me. The 'Beat my chest and you into submission' thinking had always been a stupid idea to me throughout my working life. The biggest problem always seemed to be crowbaring the bonus for the idea generator from upper management.
Laying off/firing people to save a dime is ridiculous. Stuff still needs to get done, so they end up paying someone higher up to do the tasks. So they are paying someone else more to do something a person who made less did trying to save a buck. It is so backwards. Makes more money sense to have someone who is paid less do something a little more to increase their value. Like, instead of having housekeeping clean the place, why not have the VP of the company do it. SMH.
Amazon did the same thing as that second story, but to a far worse degree I'd say. New people were hired on making AT LEAST $3 more than current workers PLUS they had a $2k sign on bonus. None of the current workers were entitled to either of these things. During this time they kept losing new workers who didn't like the working environment or were straight up fired for bad working ethics, and old workers who were upset that new people coming in were making so much more than them but were doing less. Still the most baffling decision I'd ever heard of from a job company.
it that thing i used to see with like phone or car insurance commercials where they are like "new costumers get 30% off!" and its like, wow! what about loyal customers? what do they get? like, they are just saying that it is better to not be loyal and be constantly on the move. changing your place of work or you phone company every month or so. except then you loose money cause all you now got are inexperienced, thus slow, hires that you are paying at a higher and higher rate.
I used to work at one of their warehouses, one thing I shortly found out is that the don't hire full or part-timers, they intend hire Temps and later fire them for a mysterious low performence review, (the sabotage your work remotely and even your bathroom break affects your performances) they let me go after 6 weeks and I was graveyard shift, fresh from high school, no car and I had to call my dad at 2 in the morning, out side.
Yeah, the extra money was a good thing; instead, they should have given it to all the employees, new and old. Not in the budget? Nah, Jeffrey can afford space travel, so he can afford this.
@@abiean222 At least when we had a special on memberships at the movie theater, current members could still renew their membership another year for the discounted price. And people wonder why there is a labor shortage. Got nothing to do with workers being lazy. The cheap pay doesn't make the constant disrespect worth it.
That register kid's story hit hard. I was an overnight supervisor who had a rotating door of employees who barely lasted a month. Naturally, overnight responsibilities started to fall behind due to constant training and corrections. I ended up getting demoted and placed on the evening shift where I ended up training NEW supervisors and even stepping in to take over during incidents that my direct supervisors didn't know how to handle. I ended up training a new guy who ended up being my new supervisor after a month. When my Sunday/Monday off gets swapped for Tuesday/Wednesday at the start of the football season, I went online, applied for a new job in the same field, and got hired within a week. When I put in my two weeks notice, management was in a panick because other than my supervisor I trained, no one else employed was trained nor wanted to learn the system I spent 8 years using. They offered me a new supervisor position, Weekends off, and an eventual recommendation for an assistant director position in the area starting at 50k a year. I looked my director dead in the eye and asked him "where the fuck was all these opportunities before today?" I worked my full two weeks and left without looking back.
Amazing what they refuse to offer till something bad is going to happen to them... SMH So instead of using those offers as incentives for their loyal workers they hide them in their back pocket till sh*t hits the fan...
Clueless Patron: “I have a gluten allergy.” OP: “Okay. Here’s the gluten free menu.” Clueless Patron: “(Donald Duck angry screaming voice) THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!”
I've done low-carb diet, and you more or less end up going gluten-free, since wheat contains gluten, and is what you end up avoiding. I have noticed that you end up being less hungry. I think there's something in wheat specifically that makes you more hungry, so I can understand why gluten-free became a trend. Not because of gluten insensitivity, but rather through sheer coincidence. I do agree with the first OP though. I knew exactly what I wanted, looked at the menu, and ordered what matched my requirements. I don't think I asked even once "is there gluten in this?" or something similar. I think once I asked if they had something without wheat, but that was because they didn't have a menu. EDIT: Although one upside is you don't have to avoid trace amounts of gluten, as it's about the general carb amount. So the deepfrier would be fine.
@@Nerobyrne- Rice is gluten free, as is rice flour, almond flour, and a bunch of other kinds of flour that aren’t wheat and rice. As someone who is gluten intolerant, I eat WAY too much rice. Eating out basically means Mexican or Asian cuisines. So carbs are still a thing, but they’re less “cheap” (both monetarily and nutrition-wise).
Hey Rslash, thank you for bringing up the scam. A lot of creators will just ignore stuff like that and let the comment section police itself, it's nice to know you pay attention to us down here.
He's about a year behind, or at least several months... I get those on so many random videos, I don't even know how many random accounts with similar names to the creators' I've reported by now. What are the people gullible enough to think they've actually won, and that someone like rSlash thought the best way to announce this contest winner was to create a new account, thinking? No part of that makes sense. _Is_ anyone even falling for this scam? What are the scammers even getting out of it? They _slightly_ inconvenience someone?!
@@Wendy_O._Koopa It's been said before that some scammers make their attempts to scam you look like obvious scams, because anyone that does reply to them will be so gullible that emptying their accounts will be like taking candy from a baby.
@@this_is_a_tiny_town Well, yeah but they're telling you to contact-- oh, dear God! If you bug the actual creator, you're too smart for the scam (though still a moron). They're counting on that small sliver of a niche of a niche of people, who click on the fake account to send them their credit card details in order to receive their prize. And there has to be a non-insignificant number of people falling for it, or they'd have given up by now. Well, poop...
I was also approached by the R/ scammer. They seemed just as friendly as R/. Very personable and down to earth. It didn't seem legit though. I never win anything. I tried to verify R/ by asking them, what the name of you CAT was. Instead of saying that Yugo was a dog, they deflected by saying, "What, do you not believe me?" Nope, I don't.
As annoying as the trendy gluten-free people are, they have actually been a god-send for me. I have Celiac and for most of my life, nobody knew what gluten was or what gluten-free meant. But when it became trendy, suddenly there is a whole section in the grocery store dedicated to GF, and restaurants actually know what it means and don't just look at me like I have 2 heads anymore. So yeah, the trendy people can be annoying, but by making GF popular, it's actually made my life (and anyone with Celiac) so much better.
I have NCGI and I love the people who eat gluten free, because we didn't have any gluten free food available until that happend where I live. But I hate people who pretend to be and are rude to waitstaff, because a) they are rude and b) if it happens too often people can stop taking it serious and you end up getting contaminated food.
I appreciate the vegan trend for a very similar reason. I developed a dairy allergy when I was 16 (both lactose and whey), and for years I dealt with it by just not eating any of my previous favourites, but so many things that have no reason to contain dairy do anyway so I have to be careful and read labels of everything before I buy it (like most flavours of chips and most painkillers and allergy medications have lactose in them). The sudden increase in people choosing to not eat dairy has caused grocery stores to stock vegan options and many restaurants to do the same, so I can actually go eat at restaurants again after years of cooking everything myself. It's still a bit tricky at restaurants because every time I say "dairy allergy" people hear "lactose intolerant" and try to offer me lactose free cheese or goat cheese instead, but those things still have whey and I'm still allergic to them. So anytime I'm at a restaurant I just order a vegan option and ask for meat to be added.
@@abiean222 Phishing may be conducted through official emails. In my institution we all get suspicious emails every now and then as a small group of technologically illiterate people manage to have their email credentials stolen...
I can't eat gluten, I have a lactose intolerance, I'm a vegetarian. I check menues before I got to places, I and the waitstaff have better things to do than trying to find something I can eat. Of course if you are invited or something it's great if a restaurant can provide something for me, but I'd never expect it.
@@jimmyrossmeissl6644 What is wrong with you? You think I want to be unable to eat those things? It's a medical condition, it sucks. It's not like I disagreed with your comment, I found it quiet funny actually. In fact I think people with severe medical conditions who just go and try to pressure restaurants into being able to accomidate them idiotic.
Those Vietnam medical exam stories-- my dad is blind in one eye and he got drafted. He obviously couldn't go to war because of his eye. For whatever reason, they thought he was lying about being blind in one eye and passed him anyway. I guess by this point many people were doing desperate things to fail the exam. He eventually got his doctor to write a note to tell them he actually was blind.
@@musicmaniac0 being partially blind is a credible reason for not being fully drafted. I am just saying Rear D is likely the reason for initiating the draft process regardless of the circumstances.
@@das_stief the way he tells it, they didn't know he was partially blind because he went through the entire exam as normal, and didn't tell them until the eye exam because he's a smartass (or a dumbass depending on your perspective, lol). And he didn't even do that until they got to his blind eye and he said something along the lines of "I can't see anything". And they of course thought "yeah right dude" and passed his eye exam anyway. His blindness is more obvious now, but at the time it looked like a mostly normal eye. They didn't do the exam and write down "could not see in left eye" or whatever, they specifically passed his eye exam portion lol
Story 2: if you're a manager, there are a couple things you need to understand. There are a couple of times when you need to take a step back and wonder "is this the right decision." The first is when you are asking an employee to do something that they don't want to do and they say "can I get that in writing?". The other is when you are reprimanding, give then a directive...and they start smiling. Both should be a good indication that you've missed something
A man I worked with years ago was called to school because his daughter's skirt, which she was wearing over shorts, was too short. He had her remove the skirt in the principal's office. The shorts alone were fine.
My uncle was in a VERY similar situation to the last story. He was a PhD candidate (at Rice ironically) getting his PhD on a full scholarship in astrophysics. But he drew a bad draft number and he was out of deferments so the Army sent him to Germany instead of Vietnam because they didn't want him to get killed. He came back and worked for NASA on locating space debris heading for earth.
Second story: Was working at fast food for 3-4 years and was a shift manager at the time. Starting pay for everyone at the time was $14 with me making $14.75. Starter pay got bumped up to $15 with many people making $14 now making $15. I expected myself to go up to $15.75. But they split my pay where as when I was working as a manager (which was only 1 day a week) I would get $15.75, but all the other days where I was just covering as a cashier I would only be making $15, the same as a new hire. I just kept signing in as my manager number and got paid the $15.75 and never got called out on it.
Story 1; My sister has a serious gluten allergy, and before we go out to eat somewhere she'll always check if the restaurant has their menu online, and if they have allergy information(?) posted. She also knows generally what she can and can't order, with the exceptions of asking if french fries are coated in flour or if the gravy is made using flour, etc. I feel like people who constantly re-iterate they're gluten-free, or anything else for that matter, to the point they start sounding like a broken record, are usually doing it for attention... not all, but a lot. Especially considering the woman sounded like a regular; there wouldn't necessarily be a need to constantly remind them if they recognized her. That, and if she really was a regular with a legitimate gluten allergy she would know what she could and could not order. Which I think is OP's entire point but I digress. Anyway, I hope y'all are having a great day. ♥
Had a woman come in with a "deadly sea salt allergy". Guess what cheap ingredient is commonly used in most food to provide flavor. She changed her mind about that pretty quick.
Seriously, there is a sweet little old lady who uses my Primary Care Physician who always reminds personnel: "Remember dearie, I am deathly allergic to oxygen." Re: Sea Salt: My cardiologist's dietary handout says to avoid salt, "especially sea salt," but I cannot get anyone to tell me why sea salt is worse.
@richardfabacher3705 I can't say why it is definitively worse. The main *difference* between the 2 is that sea salt is less refined and still has various minerals mixed in. So, my guess is just that sea salt is to be avoided due to the randomness it can throw into a structured diet. Although, the amounts would be below trace amounts, because it would be trace amounts of the already small amounts of sea salt you would consume. So, that is my best guess, but I am also not a trained nutritionist.
Leggings story: I would have walked out of that break room and shouted "everyone all the leggings are gone you can all stop fearing the leggings have left the building everyone can stop being afraid of them"
My uncle voluntarily joined the military and the physical missed a heart murmur. He ended up getting set for life once the military hospital had to do a heart valve replacement and discharge him for medical reasons.
My dad was too skinny for Vietnam. They put him on an ice cream diet but he failed the physical 3 times. The gear he would have had to carry weighed more than he did apparently. He no longer has that metabolism lol.
@@AdmiralKarelia Congrats to the other guy on his degrees. He is still a draft dodger. His education doesn't make him better than the rest that were drafted.

My dad’s story of Army related malicious compliance: Some glitch caused my dad to get overpaid. After the problem was found and corrected, they took the additional money back. All at once. From a single paycheck. Needless to say, my parents were not pleased as that set things behind and they had a baby on the way (my oldest sister). Dad tried to fight it, to get the money taken from several checks instead of all at once, but no dice. He decided he wanted out, but he had just re-enlisted. So they wouldn’t let him out. He asked if he could get a psychiatrist to say he was mentally unfit, would they let him out? They scoffed and said sure. Well, my dad was always a thorough researcher. He found the one shrink with an ax to grind. One who hated the Army and was hungry for a way to stick it to them. Dad got his note, got an honorable discharge, and he went home to Michigan with my very pregnant mother!
Story 1: My brother has celiac disease and the trend of non-allergic people claiming they can’t eat gluten makes it so much harder for him to be taken seriously and to be sure that food that is labeled „gluten-free“ in restaurants is actually safe and not cross-contaminated. Now he doesn’t eat in restaurants at all that also prepare food containing gluten, since even traces of it can be very harmful to him. People like the lady in the first story make me so angry, they have no regard for people actually struggling with this disease..
I used to work at a place that made pizza, and we had a gluten free crust available. We were always told if you get a customer who couldn't have gluten you have to get a new pair of gloves and prepare it in surfaces that have not been used for the normal crusts since being washed. On a side note I'm curious. Would gluten free be a good thing for people with diabetes or is it specific to people who can't have gluten.
@@vladildikan 😂 some people think gluten free is a healthier option... Like it would be a good diet change. Most of the breads are full of rice, potato, and tapioca starches instead of wheat flour. When you don't know, you don't know 🤷🏼♀️
About the phishing emails: I work in IT support, so naturally I have to have basic training in IT security. It is one of the easiest things to fake an email sender, so saying "any email sent from X account is not fishing" is actually quite dangerous. It's not unheard of for targeted attacks to use trusted emails from within the company in phishing attacks, and there's no real way to tell if an email has a real or fake sender, aside from comparing other parts of the meta data. If I had been in that person's position, I'd just have laughed and said "well done" during the next meeting. Because it's important for everyone to know that no sender is "safe".
I work at a pizza place and we have a gluten free pizza and a cauliflower crust pizza available. Whenever anyone asks for the gf or the cauliflower, we always ask if it’s a preference or an allergy. If it’s an allergy, we always change our gloves so that there’s no risk or cross contamination.
12:11 Yeah, reported him to TH-cam, and they clearly care. It's in their corporate policy and TOS promise that they'll be taking this seriously, so there's obviously a very good reason that the folks at Alphabet have done sweet F. A. to deal with him.
wow the old guy is awsome, he was doing a malicious compliance but he still put the company in mind when doing it, he still prep for the possible problem to help out the company.
My dad has a shellfish allergy, my oldest sister has a gluten allergy, and my other older sister has a peanut allergy! I remember my oldest sister used to always bring gluten free bread with her when we would go out to eat if the restaurant had sandwiches. But now she rarely has to anymore because of the gluten free trend. So in a way I kinda appreciate people who made it a trend because gluten free options are alot more common now
A musician friend of mine escaped conscription by faking deafness, blaming our band. He managed to fail a hearing test by concentrating on a certain loudness and pretending to not hear it. He has passed on now so he's safe. RIP Ken.
The story about the cashier reminds me of the time when I was managing restaurants for corporate Pizza Hut. I had a shift leader who was a certified "Dough Master" who had worked form me for 3 years and been in the store for 4. He was getting married and it was yearly review and raise time. Our limit for making raises on our own authority was $0.25/hour. We couldn't have overtime, and he worked about 35 hours (max we could schedule anyone.) I wanted to make sure I kept him and I told my boss (Area Supervisor, my 7th in 3 years) that I was going to give him a raise of $0.75/hour. That was a pretty big raise back then, and more than enough to keep him working happily. My boss tried to object. I asked him to do some simple math... $0.50/hour X 35 hours per week.... That's just $17.50/ week. That means if a 'replacement' employee were to just mess up 2 pizza orders a week, it would more than wipe out any 'savings' from not giving Thomas the raise. He got the raise 😁 And he hired me and my buddy to be videographers at his wedding (story for another time.) I didn't last much longer as a manager with Pizza Hut. They had really stupid upper management.
I knew a girl in college who dated a boy who was gluten intolerant. She decided to not eat gluten in solidarity. Sounds nice right? Any time she was out, even without the guy she would demand gluten free options. Even at a friend's house she would force the parents to go buy a gluten free option or to cook her a separate dish. Needless to say that relationship was short as she had many other screws loose.
I literally get that phishing email module from my job as well and they send out "tests"... This is a good idea and I'm going to report it just like this too! Good idea! 🤣
I wonder what will happen if we send email "Phishing vigilance tips" with link to some form which will ask for email address, unique ID and password. Now, I know that people will not fill in the password (OK, I hope they wouldn't do it), but something like "type in your password to test if it is strong enough" might work.
We had that happen a bunch of times as well. At some point they stopped those tests & thanked everyone for their vigilance "in an online environment". Probably because we also flagged genuine E-mails from important sources that definitely looked like malicious E-mails. 😆
I work IT help desk and the email with training link for people who failed the phishing test is WAY more suspicious than the actual test email. I will say most of the tests are non work related. Eems like everyone clicked on the free Starbucks with all the misspellings, etc.
While the trendy gluten free people are annoying, I myself have Celiac and my bestie has psoriasis which flares up when she eats gluten, so it's nice that the trend followers made gluten free foods more widely available. It happens to a lot more people than you realize
3:25 when I worked for "little seizures" pizza back in 2013 to 2016 they kept me at 7.25 an hour the whole 3 years. They promised to move me to a management position for 2.5 of those years and never did. I did my store manager's job 90% of the time and when I left they made me train high schoolers who were hired on at $12 an hour and still wouldn't give me a pay bump. Sometimes I wish I could track down my old supervisor and throw her off a cliff.
My aunt actually found out she had a mild allergy to gluten because of the trend. When she was younger it wasn't that obvious but as she grew older she started noticing more how pasta and bread would leave her feeling a bit queasy then give her a hard time later. The trend gave her a label for this and she can now eat more comfortably.
5:00, I know your Pain because One day when I tried to call in SICK because I had a Collapsed LUNG (Spontaneous Pneumothorax is the Medical Term) my boss told me SHOW UP OR YOUR FIRED.

I was in this cafe in London with my auntie (who has a gluten intolerance) She was asked if she had a intolerance or if it was a lifestyle choices making me thing they'd have fed her it anyway if she wasn't actually allergic to gluten which I find amusing
Maybe it was just wondering if it’s real and serious and they should do all the precautions to avoid cross contamination or if it’s just yeah sure here’s your stupid gluten-free thing just so you can feel special.
I've seen the first story before and I would just like to give a PSA that gluten allergies are all different. There are people who can have food that has cross contamination. I have no idea if that lady was lying or not but it is not ops place to determine that. I understand that it's annoying but that is no reason to assume that they are lying. The comment about how people who are actually allergic to gluten have a general idea of what they can have is not true as it can be different from restaurant to restaurant is they put flower or something similar in their sauces. Sorry for the rant I just don't like how op handled the situation.
@@aduckofsomesort I have NCGI (gluten intolerance) and it's a bit more that it technically only affects the gastrointestinal system. But if you're entire system is screwed up it spreads through your body (depending on how bad your intolernace is), I was undiagnosed for a long time, because I was told my issues were only stress, turns out my severe acne was from the intolernace. You can also get headaches, depression, axiety and other things from it.
@@aduckofsomesort yes and no my sister has celiac which is defined as an allergy but it doesn't give her anaphylaxis. Any adverse reaction technically is defined as an allergy.
I have NCGI, the difference between me and someone with an allergy is usually that I don't end up in the hopsital, I "only" end up with a few weeks of stomache issues.
That leggings one I would have been 'you send me home on this and I'm not coming back. You have my address and know how far away it is, it's not worth either of our time or money for this crap.'
15:42 I have a similar story to back up KevinK. I was at a chiropractor doing a new patient appointment where they basically take a full torso X-ray, after that the doctor came in and said in a matter-of-fact tone "So, when did you break your neck?" And I, with my eyes as wide as they could be, say "excuse me?!?!" He then brings up his computer with the x-rays and points to three vertebrae in my neck which clearly had a visible line (healed fracture) going through them. I was a little worried, how did I break my neck and not know it? I thought about that for hours after and the only thing that made sense was about ten years prior. I was walking through the shop I worked at, with the lights off, I went to duck under a loader bucket that was in the air and slammed the top of my head into it, heard a gong go off, and literally saw stars.
I'm living the "Got new manager, valuable experience leaves" scenario. I'm just waiting until the full house-of-cards fall, but I'm also getting myself transferred to a new location ASAP. I've gathered a lot of evidence on the new manager's shenanigans to make a report after I leave.
When I waited tables, if someone came in and claim they were gluten-free or any other trendy food issue… “Once you told me, you had an allergy to this, I will not serve it to you” a lot of people stop saying crap like that
The new hire story hits too close to home for me. I worked fast food for two years, working my way up to assistant store manager but only making $12.75. They hired people on that made more than me! I got fed up and found a new job when they put up signs saying they’d pay up to $15 for new hires. When asked by other employees, my store manager claimed that only assistant managers would make $15. Needless to say, I QUIT!
My father was the same, though his broken neck also involved a lot more broken bones as well, along with burns. Turns out deplaning at altitude with a plane on fire around you is not good, especially with no parachute. However there was a nice pine tree and snowbank on the ground to slow him down, which the doctors were removing from him for weeks afterwards in the Austrian hospital. they liked him, as he spoke fluent German, could translate to the other prisoners there, and actually had lived in Hamburg for a few years prior to the war. The nurses were not happy with the place he was to be transferred to though, and helped him to "escape" and "steal" a car to make it across the Swiss border.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was 5. It makes me SO mad when people use it as a trend, it makes it so much harder for people with my disability to go out because you don't know if restaurants get their information from legitimate sources or people who fake it to seem trendy or different. It sucks when a disease you struggle with your whole life is used as a trend.
I’ve never understood pretending to have an allergy for a food, especially at a restaurant; most people are going to respect your dietary restrictions(medical or by choice) even if they don’t understand them so what’s the point?
My High School Art teacher loved to tell the story about how he accidently shoot himself in the foot before going to the Vietnam Draft Board. He spent months trying to convince the board that he actually wanted to go to the War. His second favorite story is, as a green beret, learning about the birth of his daughter via an ammunition dump in the middle of the jungle.
So where I work, we had a customer who was allergic to preservatives? Seasonings? Something where he couldn't really have anything on their food which was usually fish. We'd always ask just in case. So as the cook, I'd break out a fresh sauce pan, wash the utensils, use fresh water, etc. You have to go the distance to ensure the allergic customer isn't in danger but still getting good food. We haven't had any of the gluten free crowd where it's optional but know we bust out asses for it and we will hate you forever if you throw a fit and aren't allergic
Story 1 - This is my favorite trick to stop gluten 'trendy' eaters. Can't let people eat their allergen, or you know, you get legal issues. I get the GF crowd a lot and it's annoying. People who have the allergy, or in my experience, act decent and know what to expect. They also know they can't eat off cross-contaminated surfaces or food fried in oils. I'm more than happy to serve a customer food for them to eat. I'm happy to make changes for allergies, as I have horrid ones myself. As in out both ends, struggling to breathe bad. However, It pisses me off when people come up with a bogus lie to get something more or change an order last second because 'we're Gluten Free'. If you have a food allergen, be up front about it. Especially if you're ordering catering. It's super easy and makes everyone's life a lot easier. I always tell restaurants my allergen, just to be safe (It's a spice). I want to be safe and I don't want to make a fellow kitchen worker's life hard. If my allergen's in the meal, I order something else I can eat. Easy peasy, no Karen evolution.
First story: My sister and two of my coworkers have Celiac disease, meaning they can't digest gluten, so I know a thing or two about the gluten allergy. It honestly irks me that people use the "trend" of gluten-free in order to manipulate people.

Coeliac disease isn't an allergy, it's an autoimmune condition. I'm an actual coeliac, diagnosed 24 years ago now. The gluten-free fad was brilliant for increasing the range of gluten-free food available, as well as improving the quality and generally reducing the price. You get used to eating at restaurants and pubs. Some have a section on the menu with exclusively gluten-free meals, whilst others have a crossed-grain symbol next to the foods on the menu. If you know what you're doing, which long-time coeliacs do, you can order something without a crossed-grain and change the sides. For example, in most places it's a good idea to avoid chips (fries) because they're prime for cross-contamination, so ask for new potatoes which are boiled by thisen. But, my word, fadders used to talk and talk. I'd mention I'm a coeliac and their monologue would usually either abruptly end or they'd ask what coeliac's is. The one's who continued I just explained what would happen if I ate gluten and a common response was "why would you even tell me that?". I'm sorry but if you're going to keep talking, I'll tell you what would happen if I ate half a crouton.
I’m coeliac to but only diagnosed in the past w years do you have anymore tips eating out because I’ve real struggled and gotten quite sick eating out to the point I don’t really do it anymore and it kind of sucks to jut sit with your friends while they eat hen eat when I get home
I have NCGI, so an intolerance and can eat contaminated foods, but a slice of cake screws my intestines for weeks to come. But it gets better every year with the availability, it's wonderful, especially since a few years back our local grocery store had no gluten free food, but now I can get the basics there and don't need to bake bread from scratch.
@@sexytinatrainconductress7791 a big thing is too keep your eyes open and don't immediately pass places over. In the UK, Pizza Hut do gluten-free pizzas, Ed's Burgers have a full gluten-free range, and the Lounges chain have everything available in gluten-free form. Coffee shops also have gluten-free cookies and cakes, In the UK, any restaurant or pub worth half it's salt will be able to provide you with an ingredients list and cooking method for everything on the menu on request, and sometimes the chef will come and talk to you about your needs as many want to broaden their knowledge as much as possible.
Ok, now I truly understand the old war-time Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's in a bomber and his heart beats so fast out of his chest they put 4-F on it. I always suspected it was something like that but man, it's nice to know that's exactly what it meant.
The second story sounds a lot like my job. I work at MalWart and we have people who’ve been here for years and are making less than $12 an hour but new hires are starting at $14+
Living with someone with an actual gluten allergy, I can tell you the struggle is real. She has to do research before we try a new place. Some of the larger chains will have the menus marked as to anything that's gluten-free, but you'd be surprised to hear some of the things that have wheat in them. For anything else, she knows exactly what she's ordering before we even get there.
Damn, imagine losing out on a PHD because the army wants to force you to serve because Lyndon Johnson wants to make a fortune on helicopters and bombs at the expense of human lives.
I avoid gluten entirely. For me, I found that people get sugar cravings don't get it from sugar alone. I can have a small amount of sugar and not crave more if I don't have gluten. I avoid gluten because, for me, I believe it feeds my overactive tendency to inflammation. If you're trying to cut down on sugar, try reducing gluten.
Hey Dabney. I’m currently sick and have been looking forward to one of your videos to take my mind of the sore throat and chills. You help alot and I thank you for doing that.
I love the test phishing email stuff as well. The module we signed up for at my company sends them out periodically and all emails they send out shows, not only the email addess they are spoofing, but also the domain they are spoofing from. I enjoy being extra vigelent at reporting those which annoys the security team just enough for them to wish they hadn't signed us up, but not enough to say anything to anyone.
Oh god. I remember when I had to bring food to one of those gluten free trendy families. Everything I gave them, they HAD to ask "is this gluten free?" Even the eggs. THE EGGS.
When gluten-free first became trendy, my Publix had a big banner in the meat department: "ALL OUR MEAT IS GLUTEN-FREE." (It damn-sure better be!) Didn't think to ask about their eggs!
I have NCGI (gluten intolerance) and if those "trendy" people go any buy more gluten free products in supermarkets, that's great, because then the stores will keep it in stock and even get more products. But if they are shitty to waitstaff, that's just awful. For the staff for obvious reasons, but also people who actually can't eat gluten sometimes don't get taken seriously anymore and that can cause severe health issues. A single pasta dish is enough to give me stomache issues for a few weeks, not worth it.
IHOP puts wheat pancake batter into their omelettes, so sometimes egg dishes have gluten. (I would never eat there though due to cross contamination risk.) And it pops up in other odd places too like McDonald's french fries have gluten as an ingredient, so even if they were in a dedicated fryer, they aren't safe to eat for someone with celiac or a wheat allergy.
The first story annoys me a little bit. I had a mild gluten allergy a few years ago which I have now grown out of. I could eat things with small amounts of gluten or things that were cross-contaminated fine. I just couldn't eat like sandwiches, pasta, pizza, thanksgiving dressing, etc. I could probably have eaten something gluten free that had been fried with gluten-containing items. So to be denied food that I know I have never had issue with just because someone thinks I'm being a Karen would really irritate me. She was being a Karen but that's a very bold accusation to make if someone tells you they have an allergy that causes stomach issues.
First story sounds like this person was faking it, but keep in mind the fact that some people have gluten intolerance that isn't affected by cross contamination. I can eat foods from shared oils and most things that say they "may contain" but I can't eat things with gluten explicitly in the recipe.
I received the same phishing comment on another channel I watch. I know enough to ignore it but others will not. Scammers are now bleeding over to all of our online lives.
From someone who's worked in IT Sec: If you continue to resist phishing trainings and the real emails, there will be floggings (and continued training). And no one under a director or C level can or will change the policies.
It’s Friday, and I’m at work with literally nothing to do (my students are all sick!) so I am getting paid to sit at my desk, drink coffee, work on my scarf, and listen to rSlash!
I don't have an allergy, I have lupus, which means I can have some things not at all, some things under certain amounts, and cross contamination isn't an issue for most things except like.... bell peppers. It's always a weird conversation because it's not an allergy, it has to do with inflammatory responses based on certain catalysts and it's super confusing to manage lol. I haven't had a server ever be a dick about it though, just that not all of us that seem weird about the "gluten" thing are on a trend. It's not even gluten that is my problem, it's the way processed wheat flour immediately metabolizes into glucose and spikes your levels faster than even candy. The people in the first story just make life harder for people like me.
The 2nd story: A LOT of people are going through this in the semiconductor industry. I have 15 years of experience and people with no experience are making more money than all of us. Sooooo much experience has left bc of this. Geez, don’t we have a chip shortage?!?!
The first story rubbed me the wrong way. I mean sure you get attention seekers anywhere but Celiac's disease is no joke. And people like my sister get all kinds of shit for being "difficult" just because she wants to eat at a restaurant and not spend several hours in pain afterwards.
@@wmdkitty That is just it. In alot of cases being "difficult" is daring to inconvenience kitchen staff. And if not wanting to be in excruciating pain is "making a scene" to you I suggest staying away from the service industry entirely. I have seen how my sister has been treated and worked in kitchens and in alot of cases unless the person is going to drop dead in front of them they are the ones making a huge issue of it. Some folks need to learn what service industry means. If allergies and immune disorders are too much of an inconvenience for someone they should find a different career. It is not up to people with allergies and immune disorders to make sure the restaurant staff has an easy day at work.
I work in a grocery store deli where we slice lunch meats for customers. If they ask for one of our gluten free meats, I ask if it's for allergy/celiac reasons, so I can clean one of our slicers, since we don't have one dedicated specifically to gf. One lady got so angry when I asked; I guess she thought I was judging her? I had to reassure her that it was so I knew if I had to clean a slicer specifically for her. Other times, people ask for gf, I tell them I don't have a gf slicer, so it would take a moment to clean one for use, and they just wave it off and say it doesn't matter. I have no problem taking the extra time to make sure people get what they want, but I usually encourage them to get the pre-packaged stuff, since everything you get cut at the counter has been cross-contaminated with gluten in some way. It's wild.
I got in to a gluten free diet for a few months for medical reasons and I had always the famous chat in my head "I'm vegan, what do u recommend me?" "A taxi". I don't remember ever mentioning my nonsense diet in any restaurants. Just eat my tasteless food at home, and used the saved money for fancier drinks while my friends ate. Not a real issue really. Now, I'm restrained from drinking because of medication. NOW I HAVE AN ISSUE.
My dad had the opposite problem with the Army. Not only was he enlisting (post-Korean/pre-Vietnam wars), but when they took his BP the Dr said, "You're BP is so low, you should be dead. BUT, you're talking to me and we need men, so go over to those little stairs and walk up and down em for 10 minutes." So that's what he did and the Dr. recorded that BP instead.
As someone who worked in a pizza place, we had a gluten-free crust available to anyone who asked for it. One day a woman calls for a gluten-free pizza and we made it for her, but barely five minutes after it was delivered she called demanding her money back because the pizza crust was thin and basically like a cracker. We told her that's how gluten-free crust is, and she quickly backtracked with a replacement order. Guess she was part of that trendy crowd who didn't know what gluten-free meant.
I really believe the trendy gluten free crowd thought gluten was like carbs or that it was like added sugar that was bad for your body.

@@black1917 ...and use their brains.
That was my strategy whenever I had a management position. If I wanted to find out how to make things better, who else should I ask but the workers? Yeah of course that generated a lot if idiocy, but at the same time, a lot of damn good ideas were produced. Reward bonus to the people with the good ideas worked well for me. The 'Beat my chest and you into submission' thinking had always been a stupid idea to me throughout my working life. The biggest problem always seemed to be crowbaring the bonus for the idea generator from upper management.
Don't rock the boat until you know what's keeping it afloat
Laying off/firing people to save a dime is ridiculous. Stuff still needs to get done, so they end up paying someone higher up to do the tasks. So they are paying someone else more to do something a person who made less did trying to save a buck. It is so backwards. Makes more money sense to have someone who is paid less do something a little more to increase their value. Like, instead of having housekeeping clean the place, why not have the VP of the company do it. SMH.
Amazon did the same thing as that second story, but to a far worse degree I'd say. New people were hired on making AT LEAST $3 more than current workers PLUS they had a $2k sign on bonus. None of the current workers were entitled to either of these things. During this time they kept losing new workers who didn't like the working environment or were straight up fired for bad working ethics, and old workers who were upset that new people coming in were making so much more than them but were doing less. Still the most baffling decision I'd ever heard of from a job company.
it that thing i used to see with like phone or car insurance commercials where they are like "new costumers get 30% off!" and its like, wow! what about loyal customers? what do they get? like, they are just saying that it is better to not be loyal and be constantly on the move. changing your place of work or you phone company every month or so. except then you loose money cause all you now got are inexperienced, thus slow, hires that you are paying at a higher and higher rate.
I used to work at one of their warehouses, one thing I shortly found out is that the don't hire full or part-timers, they intend hire Temps and later fire them for a mysterious low performence review, (the sabotage your work remotely and even your bathroom break affects your performances) they let me go after 6 weeks and I was graveyard shift, fresh from high school, no car and I had to call my dad at 2 in the morning, out side.
@@Josh_the_jester yep, the $2k and high pay are to get people in the door before they realize Amazon thinks they are robots.

That register kid's story hit hard. I was an overnight supervisor who had a rotating door of employees who barely lasted a month. Naturally, overnight responsibilities started to fall behind due to constant training and corrections. I ended up getting demoted and placed on the evening shift where I ended up training NEW supervisors and even stepping in to take over during incidents that my direct supervisors didn't know how to handle. I ended up training a new guy who ended up being my new supervisor after a month. When my Sunday/Monday off gets swapped for Tuesday/Wednesday at the start of the football season, I went online, applied for a new job in the same field, and got hired within a week.
When I put in my two weeks notice, management was in a panick because other than my supervisor I trained, no one else employed was trained nor wanted to learn the system I spent 8 years using. They offered me a new supervisor position, Weekends off, and an eventual recommendation for an assistant director position in the area starting at 50k a year.
I looked my director dead in the eye and asked him "where the fuck was all these opportunities before today?"
I worked my full two weeks and left without looking back.
good on you!
Amazing what they refuse to offer till something bad is going to happen to them... SMH So instead of using those offers as incentives for their loyal workers they hide them in their back pocket till sh*t hits the fan...

I've done low-carb diet, and you more or less end up going gluten-free, since wheat contains gluten, and is what you end up avoiding.
I have noticed that you end up being less hungry. I think there's something in wheat specifically that makes you more hungry, so I can understand why gluten-free became a trend. Not because of gluten insensitivity, but rather through sheer coincidence.
I do agree with the first OP though. I knew exactly what I wanted, looked at the menu, and ordered what matched my requirements.
I don't think I asked even once "is there gluten in this?" or something similar. I think once I asked if they had something without wheat, but that was because they didn't have a menu.
EDIT: Although one upside is you don't have to avoid trace amounts of gluten, as it's about the general carb amount. So the deepfrier would be fine.
I mean there ARE people with it...but these Fakers cause issues for EVERYONE and it's complete BS.
I'd just tell them that they died from their allegy the last time they ordered, so they aren't getting served.
@@Nerobyrne- Rice is gluten free, as is rice flour, almond flour, and a bunch of other kinds of flour that aren’t wheat and rice. As someone who is gluten intolerant, I eat WAY too much rice. Eating out basically means Mexican or Asian cuisines. So carbs are still a thing, but they’re less “cheap” (both monetarily and nutrition-wise).

As annoying as the trendy gluten-free people are, they have actually been a god-send for me. I have Celiac and for most of my life, nobody knew what gluten was or what gluten-free meant. But when it became trendy, suddenly there is a whole section in the grocery store dedicated to GF, and restaurants actually know what it means and don't just look at me like I have 2 heads anymore. So yeah, the trendy people can be annoying, but by making GF popular, it's actually made my life (and anyone with Celiac) so much better.
I have NCGI and I love the people who eat gluten free, because we didn't have any gluten free food available until that happend where I live. But I hate people who pretend to be and are rude to waitstaff, because a) they are rude and b) if it happens too often people can stop taking it serious and you end up getting contaminated food.
I appreciate the vegan trend for a very similar reason. I developed a dairy allergy when I was 16 (both lactose and whey), and for years I dealt with it by just not eating any of my previous favourites, but so many things that have no reason to contain dairy do anyway so I have to be careful and read labels of everything before I buy it (like most flavours of chips and most painkillers and allergy medications have lactose in them). The sudden increase in people choosing to not eat dairy has caused grocery stores to stock vegan options and many restaurants to do the same, so I can actually go eat at restaurants again after years of cooking everything myself. It's still a bit tricky at restaurants because every time I say "dairy allergy" people hear "lactose intolerant" and try to offer me lactose free cheese or goat cheese instead, but those things still have whey and I'm still allergic to them. So anytime I'm at a restaurant I just order a vegan option and ask for meat to be added.

For whatever reason, they thought he was lying about being blind in one eye and passed him anyway. I guess by this point many people were doing desperate things to fail the exam. He eventually got his doctor to write a note to tell them he actually was blind.

@@musicmaniac0 being partially blind is a credible reason for not being fully drafted. I am just saying Rear D is likely the reason for initiating the draft process regardless of the circumstances.
@@das_stief the way he tells it, they didn't know he was partially blind because he went through the entire exam as normal, and didn't tell them until the eye exam because he's a smartass (or a dumbass depending on your perspective, lol). And he didn't even do that until they got to his blind eye and he said something along the lines of "I can't see anything". And they of course thought "yeah right dude" and passed his eye exam anyway. His blindness is more obvious now, but at the time it looked like a mostly normal eye. They didn't do the exam and write down "could not see in left eye" or whatever, they specifically passed his eye exam portion lol

Story 2: if you're a manager, there are a couple things you need to understand. There are a couple of times when you need to take a step back and wonder "is this the right decision."

The other is when you are reprimanding, give then a directive...and they start smiling.

But he drew a bad draft number and he was out of deferments so the Army sent him to Germany instead of Vietnam because they didn't want him to get killed. He came back and worked for NASA on locating space debris heading for earth.

Second story: Was working at fast food for 3-4 years and was a shift manager at the time. Starting pay for everyone at the time was $14 with me making $14.75. Starter pay got bumped up to $15 with many people making $14 now making $15. I expected myself to go up to $15.75. But they split my pay where as when I was working as a manager (which was only 1 day a week) I would get $15.75, but all the other days where I was just covering as a cashier I would only be making $15, the same as a new hire. I just kept signing in as my manager number and got paid the $15.75 and never got called out on it.

Story 1;
My sister has a serious gluten allergy, and before we go out to eat somewhere she'll always check if the restaurant has their menu online, and if they have allergy information(?) posted. She also knows generally what she can and can't order, with the exceptions of asking if french fries are coated in flour or if the gravy is made using flour, etc. I feel like people who constantly re-iterate they're gluten-free, or anything else for that matter, to the point they start sounding like a broken record, are usually doing it for attention... not all, but a lot. Especially considering the woman sounded like a regular; there wouldn't necessarily be a need to constantly remind them if they recognized her. That, and if she really was a regular with a legitimate gluten allergy she would know what she could and could not order. Which I think is OP's entire point but I digress. Anyway, I hope y'all are having a great day. ♥

@richardfabacher3705 I can't say why it is definitively worse. The main *difference* between the 2 is that sea salt is less refined and still has various minerals mixed in. So, my guess is just that sea salt is to be avoided due to the randomness it can throw into a structured diet. Although, the amounts would be below trace amounts, because it would be trace amounts of the already small amounts of sea salt you would consume. So, that is my best guess, but I am also not a trained nutritionist.

Dad tried to fight it, to get the money taken from several checks instead of all at once, but no dice. He decided he wanted out, but he had just re-enlisted. So they wouldn’t let him out. He asked if he could get a psychiatrist to say he was mentally unfit, would they let him out? They scoffed and said sure. Well, my dad was always a thorough researcher. He found the one shrink with an ax to grind. One who hated the Army and was hungry for a way to stick it to them. Dad got his note, got an honorable discharge, and he went home to Michigan with my very pregnant mother!
Reddit story: A new manager came in
Me: Here we go **grabs popcorn**
😄😄😄😄😆
Story 1: My brother has celiac disease and the trend of non-allergic people claiming they can’t eat gluten makes it so much harder for him to be taken seriously and to be sure that food that is labeled „gluten-free“ in restaurants is actually safe and not cross-contaminated. Now he doesn’t eat in restaurants at all that also prepare food containing gluten, since even traces of it can be very harmful to him. People like the lady in the first story make me so angry, they have no regard for people actually struggling with this disease..
This is our experience, too. My husband has celiac. Cross contamination causes issues for months, so we don't eat out.
I used to work at a place that made pizza, and we had a gluten free crust available. We were always told if you get a customer who couldn't have gluten you have to get a new pair of gloves and prepare it in surfaces that have not been used for the normal crusts since being washed.
On a side note I'm curious. Would gluten free be a good thing for people with diabetes or is it specific to people who can't have gluten.

@@brandicook910 thanks, I never needed the answer but the question has been bouncing around in my head.

About the phishing emails:
I work in IT support, so naturally I have to have basic training in IT security.
It is one of the easiest things to fake an email sender, so saying "any email sent from X account is not fishing" is actually quite dangerous.
It's not unheard of for targeted attacks to use trusted emails from within the company in phishing attacks, and there's no real way to tell if an email has a real or fake sender, aside from comparing other parts of the meta data.
If I had been in that person's position, I'd just have laughed and said "well done" during the next meeting. Because it's important for everyone to know that no sender is "safe".
I work at a pizza place and we have a gluten free pizza and a cauliflower crust pizza available. Whenever anyone asks for the gf or the cauliflower, we always ask if it’s a preference or an allergy. If it’s an allergy, we always change our gloves so that there’s no risk or cross contamination.
12:11 Yeah, reported him to TH-cam, and they clearly care. It's in their corporate policy and TOS promise that they'll be taking this seriously, so there's obviously a very good reason that the folks at Alphabet have done sweet F. A. to deal with him.
wow the old guy is awsome, he was doing a malicious compliance but he still put the company in mind when doing it, he still prep for the possible problem to help out the company.
My dad has a shellfish allergy, my oldest sister has a gluten allergy, and my other older sister has a peanut allergy! I remember my oldest sister used to always bring gluten free bread with her when we would go out to eat if the restaurant had sandwiches. But now she rarely has to anymore because of the gluten free trend. So in a way I kinda appreciate people who made it a trend because gluten free options are alot more common now
A musician friend of mine escaped conscription by faking deafness, blaming our band. He managed to fail a hearing test by concentrating on a certain loudness and pretending to not hear it. He has passed on now so he's safe. RIP Ken.
The story about the cashier reminds me of the time when I was managing restaurants for corporate Pizza Hut. I had a shift leader who was a certified "Dough Master" who had worked form me for 3 years and been in the store for 4. He was getting married and it was yearly review and raise time. Our limit for making raises on our own authority was $0.25/hour. We couldn't have overtime, and he worked about 35 hours (max we could schedule anyone.) I wanted to make sure I kept him and I told my boss (Area Supervisor, my 7th in 3 years) that I was going to give him a raise of $0.75/hour. That was a pretty big raise back then, and more than enough to keep him working happily. My boss tried to object. I asked him to do some simple math... $0.50/hour X 35 hours per week.... That's just $17.50/ week. That means if a 'replacement' employee were to just mess up 2 pizza orders a week, it would more than wipe out any 'savings' from not giving Thomas the raise. He got the raise 😁 And he hired me and my buddy to be videographers at his wedding (story for another time.) I didn't last much longer as a manager with Pizza Hut. They had really stupid upper management.

I knew a girl in college who dated a boy who was gluten intolerant. She decided to not eat gluten in solidarity. Sounds nice right? Any time she was out, even without the guy she would demand gluten free options. Even at a friend's house she would force the parents to go buy a gluten free option or to cook her a separate dish. Needless to say that relationship was short as she had many other screws loose.

I literally get that phishing email module from my job as well and they send out "tests"... This is a good idea and I'm going to report it just like this too! Good idea! 🤣
I wonder what will happen if we send email "Phishing vigilance tips" with link to some form which will ask for email address, unique ID and password. Now, I know that people will not fill in the password (OK, I hope they wouldn't do it), but something like "type in your password to test if it is strong enough" might work.
We had that happen a bunch of times as well. At some point they stopped those tests & thanked everyone for their vigilance "in an online environment". Probably because we also flagged genuine E-mails from important sources that definitely looked like malicious E-mails. 😆
@@MLWJ1993 🤣🤣Oh I'm definitely going to do it and share..
I work IT help desk and the email with training link for people who failed the phishing test is WAY more suspicious than the actual test email. I will say most of the tests are non work related. Eems like everyone clicked on the free Starbucks with all the misspellings, etc.
While the trendy gluten free people are annoying, I myself have Celiac and my bestie has psoriasis which flares up when she eats gluten, so it's nice that the trend followers made gluten free foods more widely available. It happens to a lot more people than you realize
You know you've made it in life when scammers try to pose as you for their phishing attempts.
3:25 when I worked for "little seizures" pizza back in 2013 to 2016 they kept me at 7.25 an hour the whole 3 years. They promised to move me to a management position for 2.5 of those years and never did. I did my store manager's job 90% of the time and when I left they made me train high schoolers who were hired on at $12 an hour and still wouldn't give me a pay bump. Sometimes I wish I could track down my old supervisor and throw her off a cliff.
My aunt actually found out she had a mild allergy to gluten because of the trend. When she was younger it wasn't that obvious but as she grew older she started noticing more how pasta and bread would leave her feeling a bit queasy then give her a hard time later. The trend gave her a label for this and she can now eat more comfortably.

I was in this cafe in London with my auntie (who has a gluten intolerance)
She was asked if she had a intolerance or if it was a lifestyle choices making me thing they'd have fed her it anyway if she wasn't actually allergic to gluten which I find amusing
Maybe it was just wondering if it’s real and serious and they should do all the precautions to avoid cross contamination or if it’s just yeah sure here’s your stupid gluten-free thing just so you can feel special.
"This mail is not phishing" - That's exactly what a phishing mail would say.
I've seen the first story before and I would just like to give a PSA that gluten allergies are all different. There are people who can have food that has cross contamination. I have no idea if that lady was lying or not but it is not ops place to determine that. I understand that it's annoying but that is no reason to assume that they are lying. The comment about how people who are actually allergic to gluten have a general idea of what they can have is not true as it can be different from restaurant to restaurant is they put flower or something similar in their sauces. Sorry for the rant I just don't like how op handled the situation.
@@aduckofsomesort I have NCGI (gluten intolerance) and it's a bit more that it technically only affects the gastrointestinal system. But if you're entire system is screwed up it spreads through your body (depending on how bad your intolernace is), I was undiagnosed for a long time, because I was told my issues were only stress, turns out my severe acne was from the intolernace. You can also get headaches, depression, axiety and other things from it.
@@aduckofsomesort yes and no my sister has celiac which is defined as an allergy but it doesn't give her anaphylaxis. Any adverse reaction technically is defined as an allergy.
There is a difference between allergies and intolerance. Intolerance doesn't give you the same reaction as an allergy.
I have NCGI, the difference between me and someone with an allergy is usually that I don't end up in the hopsital, I "only" end up with a few weeks of stomache issues.

15:42 I have a similar story to back up KevinK. I was at a chiropractor doing a new patient appointment where they basically take a full torso X-ray, after that the doctor came in and said in a matter-of-fact tone "So, when did you break your neck?" And I, with my eyes as wide as they could be, say "excuse me?!?!" He then brings up his computer with the x-rays and points to three vertebrae in my neck which clearly had a visible line (healed fracture) going through them. I was a little worried, how did I break my neck and not know it? I thought about that for hours after and the only thing that made sense was about ten years prior. I was walking through the shop I worked at, with the lights off, I went to duck under a loader bucket that was in the air and slammed the top of my head into it, heard a gong go off, and literally saw stars.
Hahaha that old guy is an absolute legend.
I'm living the "Got new manager, valuable experience leaves" scenario. I'm just waiting until the full house-of-cards fall, but I'm also getting myself transferred to a new location ASAP. I've gathered a lot of evidence on the new manager's shenanigans to make a report after I leave.
I'm kinda happy gluten free became trendy, more products were made which made it great for people with the actual allergy and intolerance.
When I waited tables, if someone came in and claim they were gluten-free or any other trendy food issue… “Once you told me, you had an allergy to this, I will not serve it to you” a lot of people stop saying crap like that

The new hire story hits too close to home for me. I worked fast food for two years, working my way up to assistant store manager but only making $12.75. They hired people on that made more than me! I got fed up and found a new job when they put up signs saying they’d pay up to $15 for new hires. When asked by other employees, my store manager claimed that only assistant managers would make $15. Needless to say, I QUIT!
My father was the same, though his broken neck also involved a lot more broken bones as well, along with burns. Turns out deplaning at altitude with a plane on fire around you is not good, especially with no parachute. However there was a nice pine tree and snowbank on the ground to slow him down, which the doctors were removing from him for weeks afterwards in the Austrian hospital. they liked him, as he spoke fluent German, could translate to the other prisoners there, and actually had lived in Hamburg for a few years prior to the war. The nurses were not happy with the place he was to be transferred to though, and helped him to "escape" and "steal" a car to make it across the Swiss border.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was 5. It makes me SO mad when people use it as a trend, it makes it so much harder for people with my disability to go out because you don't know if restaurants get their information from legitimate sources or people who fake it to seem trendy or different. It sucks when a disease you struggle with your whole life is used as a trend.
I’ve never understood pretending to have an allergy for a food, especially at a restaurant; most people are going to respect your dietary restrictions(medical or by choice) even if they don’t understand them so what’s the point?
My High School Art teacher loved to tell the story about how he accidently shoot himself in the foot before going to the Vietnam Draft Board. He spent months trying to convince the board that he actually wanted to go to the War. His second favorite story is, as a green beret, learning about the birth of his daughter via an ammunition dump in the middle of the jungle.
So where I work, we had a customer who was allergic to preservatives? Seasonings? Something where he couldn't really have anything on their food which was usually fish. We'd always ask just in case. So as the cook, I'd break out a fresh sauce pan, wash the utensils, use fresh water, etc. You have to go the distance to ensure the allergic customer isn't in danger but still getting good food. We haven't had any of the gluten free crowd where it's optional but know we bust out asses for it and we will hate you forever if you throw a fit and aren't allergic
Story 1 - This is my favorite trick to stop gluten 'trendy' eaters. Can't let people eat their allergen, or you know, you get legal issues. I get the GF crowd a lot and it's annoying. People who have the allergy, or in my experience, act decent and know what to expect. They also know they can't eat off cross-contaminated surfaces or food fried in oils. I'm more than happy to serve a customer food for them to eat. I'm happy to make changes for allergies, as I have horrid ones myself. As in out both ends, struggling to breathe bad.
However, It pisses me off when people come up with a bogus lie to get something more or change an order last second because 'we're Gluten Free'. If you have a food allergen, be up front about it. Especially if you're ordering catering. It's super easy and makes everyone's life a lot easier. I always tell restaurants my allergen, just to be safe (It's a spice). I want to be safe and I don't want to make a fellow kitchen worker's life hard. If my allergen's in the meal, I order something else I can eat. Easy peasy, no Karen evolution.
First story: My sister and two of my coworkers have Celiac disease, meaning they can't digest gluten, so I know a thing or two about the gluten allergy. It honestly irks me that people use the "trend" of gluten-free in order to manipulate people.
15:34, Considering the INSANE number of people who got Section 8 Exemption and RELEASED from service after Arriving at their Posting. Your dad figuring out how to PREVENT the loss of Taxpayer Money sounds MORE REASONABLE.
Coeliac disease isn't an allergy, it's an autoimmune condition.
I'm an actual coeliac, diagnosed 24 years ago now. The gluten-free fad was brilliant for increasing the range of gluten-free food available, as well as improving the quality and generally reducing the price.
You get used to eating at restaurants and pubs. Some have a section on the menu with exclusively gluten-free meals, whilst others have a crossed-grain symbol next to the foods on the menu.
If you know what you're doing, which long-time coeliacs do, you can order something without a crossed-grain and change the sides. For example, in most places it's a good idea to avoid chips (fries) because they're prime for cross-contamination, so ask for new potatoes which are boiled by thisen.
But, my word, fadders used to talk and talk. I'd mention I'm a coeliac and their monologue would usually either abruptly end or they'd ask what coeliac's is. The one's who continued I just explained what would happen if I ate gluten and a common response was "why would you even tell me that?". I'm sorry but if you're going to keep talking, I'll tell you what would happen if I ate half a crouton.
I’m coeliac to but only diagnosed in the past w years do you have anymore tips eating out because I’ve real struggled and gotten quite sick eating out to the point I don’t really do it anymore and it kind of sucks to jut sit with your friends while they eat hen eat when I get home
I have NCGI, so an intolerance and can eat contaminated foods, but a slice of cake screws my intestines for weeks to come. But it gets better every year with the availability, it's wonderful, especially since a few years back our local grocery store had no gluten free food, but now I can get the basics there and don't need to bake bread from scratch.
@@sexytinatrainconductress7791 a big thing is too keep your eyes open and don't immediately pass places over. In the UK, Pizza Hut do gluten-free pizzas, Ed's Burgers have a full gluten-free range, and the Lounges chain have everything available in gluten-free form. Coffee shops also have gluten-free cookies and cakes,
In the UK, any restaurant or pub worth half it's salt will be able to provide you with an ingredients list and cooking method for everything on the menu on request, and sometimes the chef will come and talk to you about your needs as many want to broaden their knowledge as much as possible.
Ok, now I truly understand the old war-time Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's in a bomber and his heart beats so fast out of his chest they put 4-F on it. I always suspected it was something like that but man, it's nice to know that's exactly what it meant.
The second story sounds a lot like my job. I work at MalWart and we have people who’ve been here for years and are making less than $12 an hour but new hires are starting at $14+
Living with someone with an actual gluten allergy, I can tell you the struggle is real. She has to do research before we try a new place. Some of the larger chains will have the menus marked as to anything that's gluten-free, but you'd be surprised to hear some of the things that have wheat in them. For anything else, she knows exactly what she's ordering before we even get there.
Damn, imagine losing out on a PHD because the army wants to force you to serve because Lyndon Johnson wants to make a fortune on helicopters and bombs at the expense of human lives.
I avoid gluten entirely. For me, I found that people get sugar cravings don't get it from sugar alone. I can have a small amount of sugar and not crave more if I don't have gluten. I avoid gluten because, for me, I believe it feeds my overactive tendency to inflammation. If you're trying to cut down on sugar, try reducing gluten.

11:52, if they didn't want this kind of Response then they shouldn't have punished you for RESPONDING TO A DIRECTORS MESSAGE.
Oh god. I remember when I had to bring food to one of those gluten free trendy families. Everything I gave them, they HAD to ask "is this gluten free?" Even the eggs. THE EGGS.
When gluten-free first became trendy, my Publix had a big banner in the meat department: "ALL OUR MEAT IS GLUTEN-FREE." (It damn-sure better be!) Didn't think to ask about their eggs!
I have NCGI (gluten intolerance) and if those "trendy" people go any buy more gluten free products in supermarkets, that's great, because then the stores will keep it in stock and even get more products. But if they are shitty to waitstaff, that's just awful. For the staff for obvious reasons, but also people who actually can't eat gluten sometimes don't get taken seriously anymore and that can cause severe health issues. A single pasta dish is enough to give me stomache issues for a few weeks, not worth it.
IHOP puts wheat pancake batter into their omelettes, so sometimes egg dishes have gluten. (I would never eat there though due to cross contamination risk.) And it pops up in other odd places too like McDonald's french fries have gluten as an ingredient, so even if they were in a dedicated fryer, they aren't safe to eat for someone with celiac or a wheat allergy.
@@TemariNaraannaschatz then don't eat pasta
The first story annoys me a little bit. I had a mild gluten allergy a few years ago which I have now grown out of. I could eat things with small amounts of gluten or things that were cross-contaminated fine. I just couldn't eat like sandwiches, pasta, pizza, thanksgiving dressing, etc. I could probably have eaten something gluten free that had been fried with gluten-containing items. So to be denied food that I know I have never had issue with just because someone thinks I'm being a Karen would really irritate me. She was being a Karen but that's a very bold accusation to make if someone tells you they have an allergy that causes stomach issues.
Boss from Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: “Take your damn clothes off!”
I see that you are a person of culture as well.😁
First story sounds like this person was faking it, but keep in mind the fact that some people have gluten intolerance that isn't affected by cross contamination. I can eat foods from shared oils and most things that say they "may contain" but I can't eat things with gluten explicitly in the recipe.
I received the same phishing comment on another channel I watch. I know enough to ignore it but others will not. Scammers are now bleeding over to all of our online lives.
From someone who's worked in IT Sec: If you continue to resist phishing trainings and the real emails, there will be floggings (and continued training).

Story 1: intolerence is NOT allergy!
I mean it can be as serious.
It’s Friday, and I’m at work with literally nothing to do (my students are all sick!) so I am getting paid to sit at my desk, drink coffee, work on my scarf, and listen to rSlash!
I don't have an allergy, I have lupus, which means I can have some things not at all, some things under certain amounts, and cross contamination isn't an issue for most things except like.... bell peppers. It's always a weird conversation because it's not an allergy, it has to do with inflammatory responses based on certain catalysts and it's super confusing to manage lol. I haven't had a server ever be a dick about it though, just that not all of us that seem weird about the "gluten" thing are on a trend. It's not even gluten that is my problem, it's the way processed wheat flour immediately metabolizes into glucose and spikes your levels faster than even candy. The people in the first story just make life harder for people like me.
The 2nd story: A LOT of people are going through this in the semiconductor industry. I have 15 years of experience and people with no experience are making more money than all of us. Sooooo much experience has left bc of this. Geez, don’t we have a chip shortage?!?!
The first story rubbed me the wrong way. I mean sure you get attention seekers anywhere but Celiac's disease is no joke. And people like my sister get all kinds of shit for being "difficult" just because she wants to eat at a restaurant and not spend several hours in pain afterwards.
Maybe stop making huge scenes, then? It's okay to ask if there are gluten-free options, it's not okay to flip out and be "difficult" about it.
@@wmdkitty That is just it. In alot of cases being "difficult" is daring to inconvenience kitchen staff. And if not wanting to be in excruciating pain is "making a scene" to you I suggest staying away from the service industry entirely. I have seen how my sister has been treated and worked in kitchens and in alot of cases unless the person is going to drop dead in front of them they are the ones making a huge issue of it.
Some folks need to learn what service industry means. If allergies and immune disorders are too much of an inconvenience for someone they should find a different career. It is not up to people with allergies and immune disorders to make sure the restaurant staff has an easy day at work.
I work in a grocery store deli where we slice lunch meats for customers. If they ask for one of our gluten free meats, I ask if it's for allergy/celiac reasons, so I can clean one of our slicers, since we don't have one dedicated specifically to gf. One lady got so angry when I asked; I guess she thought I was judging her? I had to reassure her that it was so I knew if I had to clean a slicer specifically for her. Other times, people ask for gf, I tell them I don't have a gf slicer, so it would take a moment to clean one for use, and they just wave it off and say it doesn't matter. I have no problem taking the extra time to make sure people get what they want, but I usually encourage them to get the pre-packaged stuff, since everything you get cut at the counter has been cross-contaminated with gluten in some way. It's wild.
