Yay, and verily he said unto them, "Eat this nooch for it tastes kind of like cheese, and drink this kombucha for it is awesome. And don't be a vegan hating douche because no one likes an asshat."

I've got to find a magical Starbucks where they don't charge![/quote]

There's a rogue barista at the one I go to who doesn't think it's right to charge for soy.

It's so frustrating when shitake like this happens. You gave a great response! Does anyone have a good response for when someone KNOWS your vegan and says something like, "well YOU'RE not this way but all other vegans are SO PUSHY"?

Typically, I'll try to compare it to something else ex: "Well, a select group of Christians are pretty pushy about their beliefs... but not ALL Christians act that way... So, would you be saying this to a Christian based on the behavior of a select few??"

Three cheers for that barista!!!

When I worked at Starbucks, I would frequently "forget" to charge people for soy, especially when a customer would ask me which menu items were vegan. Solidarity!

Maybe Vegan Jesus is the son of the FSM, the deemer of all human and animal kind?

But, the deity that turns sin to hummus would be one that brings me out of atheism.

I want you to be my barista. <3

Could he make some pita bread out of my sins, too?

shiitake was expensive even when we didn't have to pay for soy and syrups!

The new charges save me money since lattes are now work days only. They get an extra 1.20 from me, but they are losing about $30/month in my business.

You show 'em!

Didn't plan on having a sig, but how can I pass up this gem? :)

OK, *that* is hilarious.

I had a similar experience recently! Although the person set herself up for it- she was talking about a big Hannukah dinner she throws every year and then started complaining about her friends who are 'vaygun' and 'such a pain in the asparagus' as a result. Then she asked "are you vegetarian?" When I said I was actually vegan that shut her up. For five seconds, then she wanted to know what I missed the most.

Because being vegan is all about inconveniencing others but secretly wishing I could eat everything because VEGANISM IS PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR EVERYBODY

I don't know, maybe say the the thing you miss the most is not being judged/harrassed about your eating choices? :)

Of course. Why else would anybody do it?

I want everyone to feel the pain in my dark vegan soul, and depression over lack of CHEESE. Because vegans know they can't live without cheese but deny themselves only as a form of slow suicide. The Dairy Free Depression. The epidemic of our generation.

*sings* Whaaaaaaaaat a friend we have in vegan-Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussss!

SIGGED!
