Eating out - What you want versus what you get!!

[yob]

theres a debate going on about people bringing there own sweets to the cinema,and weather its right or wrong,because of the prices the cinemas charge for these items,
and i personally think its wrong,now this is a different issue,when a medical condition dictates what you can and canot eat,so for that reason i do see people bring there own sandwich to a cafe and the propriotor allowing it,also if you phoned in advance i'm sure you would be accomidated,as has been said its a common problem today and i have seen it done,where they would get the gluten free bread in,and make a sandwich all be it regular customers from an office down the road.
as far as the salad is concerned why cant they replace the croutons with sunflower seeds,the sandwich,well why not serve it like an open sandwich,except with rice cakes,or spelt bread,(can coeliacs eat spelt?),anyway just a thought,or are we just looking for a discount

Is this the longest AAM sentence ;o)

I was asked to leave a well known Irish sandwich bar on Baggot st. for doing this. I bought one of their salads and produced my own bread when eating it. The manageress shouted at me about eating food not bought on their premises (there was a sign up) I tried to explain reasonably that I would eat their bread if I could but I cant and that I had bought the main part of my lunch (salad) there - no go - I was out. It was only afterwards that I was annoyed that I didnt kick up more of a fuss but it all happened so quickly and was so upsetting that I just left.

perhaps if you showed good manners,and asked,explaining your position i doubt any manager would refuse you,sorry is this to long for you,its all about your aproach.
see how annoyed you were afterwards,well thats how annoyed she was seeing you eat your own bread.

I didnt mean any offence yob by pointing out the long sentence hence the smiley face. I didnt ask if I could eat my own bread as it didnt strike me - it was a mistake not a lack of manners.

Respect casiopea.
i hear what your saying,i freequent a number of coffee shops and cafes where i've worked for a great number of year,and it amazes me,the request people make.but a medical condition is usually acommidated,as i well know.
my friend who has such an establishment says his pet hate is people walking in and using his toilet,and then leaving,he would never refuse anyone,but they dont even ask.
i was in a coffee shop one time where three ladies came in,one had a cappochino,the second a coffee and the third boiled water,the propritor charged the lady with the boiled water,well a row developed,the customer said she had a cheek to charge for water,and it was pure greed,and she would report her to the athorities,mmmm,dont think anything became of it as the buisness is still going strong,there providing a service and it must be paid for,sorry i tend to go on........

Did the lady in question boil the water herself and use her own mug? If so she was right. If not...
