Crosspost "Male waiter refused to give me the food I ordered because he "wanted to protect my slim figure"" from /r/TwoXChromosomes:

I love chicken, I think it is delicious. But it is NOT what I ordered. I ordered a pork taco salad at this Mexican restaurant. When the food came out I realized that it was CHICKEN, not pork. I flagged down my male waiter and pointed out the mistake. His response was winking at me and telling me he gave me the chicken instead because he wanted to help protect my slim figure. From his expression you could tell he expected me to thank him for being considerate.

​

Instead I asked for the manager, who thankfully was a woman, and got me the pork taco salad instead.

​

TLDR: Male waiter changed my order to "protect me" from calories without my consent

Edit: for those of you asking, he didn’t seem like he was covering up a mistake. The way he phrased it, it sounded like he purposely switched it because he thought it would be better for me and that he thought once he told me I’d agree. But I didn’t, because I wanted what I ordered.

And to the men in my dms telling me it didn’t happen, your male privilege is showing. Y’all don’t believe women get sexually assaulted either. Your opinions don’t matter to me. I wish for one day you were a woman and you could see all the stupid shit that we go through. I 100% wish this hadn’t happened. I just want to be treated like a normal person in my life and not deal with bullshit like this. You gaslighting me and other women when we share our experiences just makes you part of the problem.
