AIBU re: sandwiches

My friend is turning 30 soon and one of her work colleagues, let's call her Lucy, but I don't really know her, has organised an afternoon tea for a group of us to celebrate.

For a bit of background, Lucy took our money for the Afternoon Tea upfront (fine by me) and booked an offer using some kind of voucher for a fancy place. It does state clearly on the voucher that it is a 'set' afternoon tea and dietary requirements or requests cannot be catered for.

However, Lucy will only eat plain cheese sandwiches. Cheddar sandwiches. Not cream cheese, or Feta which are both on the menu, just cheddar. Cheddar is mentioned nowhere on the menu. The venue has said it is set menu and alterations cannot be made under any circumstances as its terms and conditions and advised at time of booking. I think maybe they are being awkward. Lucy is very cross about this and the way she feels she has been treated over the cheese sandwiches so now wants to cancel the whole event, which is not her celebration anyway.

AIBU to think that as a grown woman you should just eat the bits you like fill up on scones and champagne and get over yourself?!

Sorry for the rant, I can't deal with the melodramatics over cheesesandwichgate as it is now know.

Zero tolerance for actual ADULTS who 'can't' eat things they don't like. Pathetic.

Scholes34 · 27/05/2016 23:36

Can't she just clean up on the scones and cakes?

DailyFaily · 27/05/2016 23:37

Sorry Gazelda Smile

I meant to say; Lucy is brie-ing ridiculous.

Lucy needs to Briehave and get on with it.

Queenbean · 27/05/2016 23:41

Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory? Police are still picking up deBrie

DailyFaily · 27/05/2016 23:42

She could wear a cheese based outfit - like Lady Gaga but with cheese - and nibble her way through it. Once she's left wearing only two triangles of Edam and a pair a nipple tassles made of cheese strings the venue will realise the error of their ways.

pictish · 27/05/2016 23:44

Oh brilliant another for the cheese collection. Grin

pictish · 27/05/2016 23:45

I have an addiction to cheddar cheese, but it's only mild.

pictish · 27/05/2016 23:47

Lucy should have done her fucking homework. Silly Lucy.

blondieblondie · 28/05/2016 00:02

I love this thread. Lucy mozzerella be quite dim (Said in best dramatic Italian accent)

Allalonenow · 28/05/2016 00:09

As Marie Antoinette would say ~ let her eat cake. Smile

Spadequeen · 28/05/2016 00:11

Then why the hell did she book this place.

dowhatnow · 28/05/2016 00:17

Stuff the cheese. How many slices of bread make a sandwich?

shazzarooney999 · 28/05/2016 00:30

She cannot cancel just because she does not like whats on the menu, silly lady, why did she book in the first place? she cant back track thats wrong.

liz70 · 28/05/2016 00:48

She really cheddar looked at the menu more carefully before she booked. I mean, yarg-et what you pay for, don't you? I would have feta better idea would have been to double gloucester check these matters, red leicester a cock up like this be made again. Still, no point in being blue. Moping after the fact would just be in vein, however cheesed off Lucy might feel.
