I asked the clerk, and this is diet correct? The stupid sow said "oh I'm sorry". I told her I was diabetic and she didn't even blink. Should I have the sot fired?

JBloor .... you are ignorant and obviously know nothing about Entertainment and Hospitality laws. They have a legal obligation to serve what you asked for. I think your an idiot, and hope you are stricken with diabetes when you get older, as a good portion of the population is now.

Julie N: You cannot tell the difference between a diet coke and a regular coke, and if I had drunk it I may have spent a night in E.R., there definately needs to be a precedent set so that others don't have this happen.

No. It was an honest mistake and it probably never occured to her that you are diabetic. We don't wear identifying labels.
What you can do in the future (I do this all the time) is carry some urine glucose test strips with you. If you are not sure whether you got diet or regular, quickly dip the test strip into the drink and the strip will show if glucose is present. A lot of other diabetics do this. If you do get the regular, ask your waiter/waitress for a diet. Using the urine test strips is easier and quicker than using your meter and you won't risk damaging the meter either. You can get them at any drug store.
One last point...to many people who don't understand diabetes, to them it is just a word. They have no idea what diabetes involves.
Don't worry about it...it's going to happen again...I promise you that. Just carry the test strips and use them as you need to. Don't make a big deal out of it. If you get the wrong drink, just ask for what you do want.

The look is the identical, however the style is without doubt extraordinary. Try ordering it with out ice so it is going to be less difficult to style the change. Regular coke spills also are sticky considering that of the sugar residue. Spill a few out on a plate and wipe it with a serviette, if the plate feels sticky, then this is a constant coke.

over a simple mistake? no. everyone has an off day. besides, you can tell the difference between regular coke and diet coke with one sip, so it's highly unlikely that it could cause you trouble.
everyone makes mistakes. when i was a waitress, i mistakenly served a soup containing pork sausage to a muslim family. they were very gracious and asked me to bring them the other soup of the day. they could have complained and had me fired, but they treated me with kindness. as a result, i gave them my best.
having a fit and getting the woman fired will put her in a bind. how would that make you feel?

I know how frustrating that is. It's happened to me many times and usually they're really really sorry and replace it with a new one of course. Some people don't care and that's all there is to it and there's not much you can do about it sometimes, I'm afraid.

Just insist on another proper diet coke and if she does not comply, ask for the manager.

Here's what you can do: next time bring your own diet coke.
The rest of the planet is not in charge of monitoring your disabilty - you are. Does diabetes make someone judgemental and unforgiving of human error? If so, I'll make sure that I never hire anyone with diabetes. Get over yourself, eh? Merry Christmas.
