I had cheese put into my food before, but now I was given meat-meat and not only once but twice (different places).

It wasn’t even by people not understanding what veganism is, it was just a very blatant swap.

Sure, I got money back, but I’m wondering: has the acceptance of vegans gone down and malice towards us gone up? I would’ve thought it would’ve gotten better over time.

I’m asking because I’m so far removed from the vegan community I forget I’m vegan because the store being “empty” for me is the norm, as is checking labels etc; I’ve no clue whether other vegans are facing similar issues as of late.

      I’ve seen job ads for customer facing roles in Netherlands only requiring English and I was confused as to how that’d work. I am even more confused to learn they hire people who don’t speak Dutch and barely if at all speak English. What’s happening in Netherlands?

          I’ve also found that in the Netherlands, “vegan” and “vegetarian” get swapped often. So I’ve gotten used to telling people I’m lactose intolerant as well as vegan.
