DO NOT DO THIS.
This makes me so angry.
If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.
My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.
When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.
If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.
Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.
Please signal boost this so people know.
This applies to other things, too. I’m ridiculously sensitive to caffeine, and when I ask for decaf, there’s a reason. If I get full caff sometime when I ask for decaf, I’m probably not sleeping for a day or two, and likely starting to get seriously worried about heart attacks.
THIS. I have so many allergies, it’s not even funny. And yeah, I’ve gotten sick from people screwing up my food. It’s why I almost never eat out anymore, and when I do, it’s at one or two trusted restaurants where the wait staff knows me very well, and are extra careful with my order.
This is possibly one of the most fascinating indirect ways in which I’ve seen the madness of diet culture endanger people’s lives. People get so resentful of the insanity that they will do stuff which blatantly endangers people because they just assume the people are being stupid.
