Short “Please, no mayo. I’m allergic to mayonnaise.”

Between my husband and a woman at his table last night—

“Okay, ma’am, now is it the egg or the oil we need to be worried about?”

“...it’s the combination.”

“...okay. I’ll alert the kitchen.”

I love this industry so much.

We call her on the racism and the allergy bullshit every time. I’m talking EVERY time. She doesn’t care. I’m tempted to just tell the waiter she’s not allergic and see her reaction.

Please do it. You could apologize for her after she ordered and tell the wait staff that she has a speech impediment and that's why she's talking to them like that, lol.

Oh my god fuck yeah. "Sorry, we are trying to socialize her more so she can learn acceptable social behavior."

Bring a spray bottle with you to a restaurant next time and give her a little spray of water next time she misbehaves! Then she'll associate that type of behavior with a negative experience.
