Can't use "smaller portions" card at buffet !?!

It actually took NO audacity to call you that! It was actually easy, much easier than it is for you to see yourself for what you have portrayed yourself to be. That being said. Maybe next time you want to poke "fun" at an Asian person for their inability to speak English the way YOU think they should, remember that your ancestors, (as you claimed to be 1st generation Italian here) probably had a very broken Italian accent and just as much trouble speaking without their Native Tongue....

No need in praying for me.... If I decide that I need prayers, I can take care of that myself. I really don't want someone who thinks it's ok to be judgemental and condescending towards another person who is doing nothing but trying to make a living to do any kindness for me... That's a bit hypocritical. Pot meet kettle!

Why is it that the ones that have claimed to experience racist, or being made fun of or being the brunt of others jokes, stories, etc are usually the first ones to do the same to someone else....

Wow!  How do you know me so well from just one "chance" meeting on this thread?  You must be a super-natural being.  Thank you for pointing out all that is wrong in me.  I'm glad I have a Savior in Heaven who forgives me my trasngressions.  If my life were in your hands, I'm sure I'd have already been stoned to death. And how did you come to attain this mysterious ability to know all?
Thanks for the insight you have shed on true hypocracy.
Gone on now, there are no more stones here.

 

I dont think there is anything wrong with using the card.  Sometimes I use it and have only been turned down once when I ask,  sometime I dont even show the card and an allowed to order off the kids/senior menu.  Sometime I just eat part of what my husband orders. 

The other night we were at Zio's eating and 4  of us at the table of 16 had had lapband surgery, they allowed all 4 of us to eat off the kids menu without showing our card.  We tips as if we had gotten a reg meal, the watier was great and went out of his way to make sure we had a pleasant evening.

On time I was turned down, I just said ok thanks I will just eat some of my husbands meal.  Quickly the waitress changed her mind and said I could order off the kids menu. 

I have heard a manager at a buffet , who has had WLS said to order food by the lbs if you go to a buffet.

Thanks for sharing your experience.  Interesting, how people's reactions differ to/about the infamous "card".  I appreciate your input.

What is it with all this pot and kettle crap from people who belong on other boards?!  BTW- I don't have a card and have never used one.  I think it is silly for people to conduct themselves in the way most have on here today.  It is quite obviously the sideshow of the day being as there are 1200 hits so far. 

Maybe tomorrow we can all be more positive and put this restaurant stuff behind us.  Love you guys!!  *HUGS*

"What is it with all this pot and kettle crap from people who belong on other boards?!" 

Honey, this is a public website.  I can visit whatever forum on it that I wish.  You brought your happy ass over to the Rants and Raves forum and had it handed back to you.

What the F are you talking about?  This is the Lap Band board.  AND I wasn't even talking to you.  How's that for having your ass handed to you?

Maybe the malabsorbtion has cause some sort of brain damage that leads these RNY'ers to believe it is ok to come over from another board and talk **** to us.  Are they jealous?  I'm thinkin' maybe.  I try to say something nice and positive and some one talks trash to me.  WTF?!  Go Rant and Rave somewhere else!

I have no malabsorption and I think you are completely and totally ignorant.  I think you have dug yourself a hole that you have no intelligence to dig yourself out of.

If you can't slam and insult someone, you have no response.  Slither back under the rock you  belong.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't realize that a restaurant discount card is a perk offered only to those who've had the Band, and therefore, no one else is able to comment on the topic. 

My bad. Must be that brain damage I've suffered.
