I work at a bakery and am vegan. Whenever we get a new cake or vegetarian sandwich, my coworkers ask me to try it. At least one of them, H, is always surprised to learn that dairy products are in fact made from milk.

On the other hand, one of my coworkers brought in sesame sweets made without dairy, eggs, or honey and H didn’t believe they were actually vegan and kept making jokes about my cheat day.

    I feel your pain, and I'm concerned about someone who works at a bakery not knowing where ingredients came from.

    I'm not even vegetarian but I worked at a vegan/vegetarian restaurant where random people would come in to complain we didn't have any meat on the menu. Like legit walk up to the host stand, pick up a menu, shout "Is there any meat?" and leave in a huff when we tell them no.

    Their loss. I made a kick ass curry and put black bean burgers on the menu.

    It’s pretty concerning, you’re right. I actually wrote a list of things that are vegan and vegetarian to keep in the back because some of my coworkers would give random answers when people asked about them (and we for some reason have chicken fat in our omelettes, so they seem vegetarian but aren’t).

    Yeast is OK but honey is not? They both seem like a mild sort of symbiosis.

    tbh I think H is such a massive troll, if you weren't vegan, they would just find something else incomprehensible.

    I can’t tell if H is a troll or just really stupid (or both). She and I clash about several subjects and she does sometimes straight antagonize the rest of us, but she’s also weirdly ill-informed about a lot of things and 67 years old. A lot of the antagonism seems to stem from her expecting everyone to defer to her because of her age, but because she’s not very smart, she orders us to do things that don’t make sense, then gets annoyed when we don’t.

    I mostly just try to ignore her and don’t accept any food from her unless it’s prepackaged and I know what it is.
