Abstract
A vegan purchased some vegetarian dishes at a restaurant to take home. When the family started eating the food, the daughter discovered clams in the soup. She called the restaurant but was treated rudely. When she went back to the restaurant, she received no apology from the staff at the restaurant. Because she complained, she was suspected of trying to cheat by adding clams in order to get a discount. Eventually, she was offered a discount by the manager, but she refused it.
