The waiter should have checked with her first before removing anything. Also since they removed something, the price should have been halved at least. It’s like going to the pub and asking for a gin and tonic. You get charged full price and only get tonic.

The waiter definitely should have asked if she would prefer not to have the prosciutto as many pregnant women choose not to have it. They should not just assume.

The waiter should have asked instead of making that decision.

It’s very considerate, but could have been more so if he had not taken away your choice and control.

The list of foods these days for pregnant women to avoid is just insane. We didn’t have all this extra stuff on the no eat list. I’m glad it’s not just ne that thinks the lists are ridiculous

Gosh, why would they do that without checking with her first?

This is so random – what if she wasn’t pregnant!

“So we decided that you shouldn’t eat that and we just took it off the item that you ordered without telling you, asking you, discussing anything with you.” Did they really say that? I don’t blame Brittany for getting angry…just seems a bit weird to me.

They were out of line, not their decision to make.

Always check with the customer first. To assume something without vertification is not right. To be charged full price another not right customer service. She should have said something.

They should have asked her first but good on them for taking precaution as if something had happened to the baby because of it, I’m sure she would have played the blame game on them!

Geez, that’s very poor service. Fair enough they were trying to be thoughtful but at the end of the day, they should have asked you. And to be charged full price is a disgraceful act on top. Definitely not overreacting. I would too be disappointed. The prosciutto was cooked so where is the harm in that? And above all else, yes you may be pregnant but they shouldn’t assume as many women have bloated tummies that appear their pregnant.

As a consumer,.you have a right to a refund as you did not get what you ordered.
But many of those foods are NOT safe. Convince yourself you are if you need to justify yourself, but do not teach that to others. And the staff have a right not to serve it to you so they do not have murder on their conscience. But they should have said so from the start.

I would not have blamed them if they’d asked her if she wanted the ingredient, but they shouldn’t have made the decision for them.

Wow!! Should have been a reduced price. But, how dare they!! Seriously, they had no business doing that.

  exactly, I think they were way out of line !

Bet they still charged the same price! I just wouldn’t have paid for it as it wasn’t what I ordered.

Was definitely the wrong thing for them to do and they definitely should have discounted the price but she should have spoken up at the time as well…

Well meaning, but they should have asked.

Definitely should have been asked before removing the ingredients. It was a bit belittling, as if this mum to be is not able to make her own choices. I would have asked to missing ingredient to be added too.

The restaurant should have checked with her. I would have given it back. None of the waiter’s business.

  I agree; none of the waiters business and an adult gets to make their choices about the food they consume.
