So my sister was telling me that the other day she went to Dunkin donuts and ordered a strawberry banana smoothie cuz she’s pregnant and even though it was freezing out and stuff she was craving it whereas she normally doesnt like those kinds of things. Whatever, thats besides the point. The cashier was a paki lady and she looks at my sister and says you pakistani or indian… and my siste’rs like pakistani…why?? Then the lady starts looking at her up and down (not in a very nice way)… and she goes you hindu or muslim? And my sister’s like… alhamdolillah im muslim… at this point she got kinda agitated like wth why so many questions just gimme the damn smoothie. So the lady raises her eyebrows at her and goes.. okayy.. and starts telling the other paki workers that my sister’s ordering a smoothie. After so much freakin drama from the cashier my sister’s like ok is there a freakin problem why cant I get a smoothie?! And the cashier was like smoothie is haram. No good. My sister’s like huh how come? And the lady goes. Yogurt no good. So thats not really an explanation so my sister got loud with her and the manager came and finally told my sister what the freakin cashier should have said in the first place: That the smoothie is haram because it contains pork fat. I’m guessing in the form of gelation or lard or whatever. And the manager said thats why there are now Kosher DD’s so you can enjoy all the smoothies you want. The ones without a sign saying they’re kosher are not suitable for religious muslims and jews.
I never knew that they contained that! I wanted to puke!
I still dont understand why desi aunties have to be so judgemental… its like she was assuming already that my sister was doing something wrong on purpose!
