Gale, I never said you were asking for special accommodation with food prices. I was explaining that I have my own experience in the minority. And I have no children, something diabetes took away from me. Will I die if a potato touches my plate? Not today. I'll probably go blind and have my legs amputated first. But I don't expect you to give a crap about that.
I also don't expect restaurant owners to care about my particular needs because they CAN'T - - it is cost prohibitive for them to do so. They, like every successful business, must concern themselves with what's popular or palatable to the 80% of their customer base, and leave the outliers to specialists. Your problems, and mine, are ours. And we are doing exactly what we should do.
People like me prefer to shop where there are compassionate pet owners in residence, something I associate with other positive attributes. You pass their shops by. As long as they keep turning a profit why do you even care?
