Lesson Learned
[journal]
Last week I ate at Kelsey's, and for the first time I had an allergic reaction. My eyes ballooned and my face lumped. It wasn't all bad. I gained an experience that now allows me to empathize with a group of people I couldn't empathesize with before. But what disturbed me was the waiter's reaction. There I was, eyes bugging out, face a red bulbous mess, asking if he could be so kind to provide me with some grape fruit juice (because someone told me it helps) and instead of caring about my well-being he seemed more worried that I wasn't going to pay for my meal. He became defensive and later talked about how Kelsey's uses all natural ingredients and so on. Dude, I just wanted to get better, not take everyone down with me. I felt that it was a sad commentary on the world.
