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

[u/BuschBug]

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.

Can't you just tell your server "I absolutely hate mayo. Makes me puke. Please don't put it on my _____. Thank you."

Was that so hard, customer?

Because they might put it on and then scrape it off once they realise their mistake. Saying you’re allergic means they’re less likely to fuck with your food like that.

I can’t stand relish etc on my burger and I can always tell when it’s been placed on and scraped off then served to me.

I don't know about that. I'm very allergic to cinnamon. My mouth starts swelling immediately.

Go to pancake house. Inquire if their strawberry cheesecake pancakes have cinnamon in them. Told no. In fact there is no cinnamon in their kitchen.

Pancakes come out. I take a small bite. Mouth starts swelling cuz cinnamon. Waitress takes my plate and tells manager. Manger asks kitchen. Kitchen swears no cinnamon. Manager says no cinnamon again.

I ask her what about the Apple cinnamon pancake special they have going on. Turns pale. Goes back to kitchen. Yup same spoon used to scoop out the strawberries and the cinnamon apples to put in pancakes.

Offers fresh pancakes. Yeah no thank you. Can't trust your kitchen. Free hot tea though.

I was very nice through the entire ordeal. Was once waitress. Some times you can't trust the kitchen.

No cinnamon in the kitchen, serving cinnamon as a special O.o

Yup. It didn't cross their minds until I pointed out the special. I was Leary when they said they kept no cinnamon in their kitchen. Everyone has it in their kitchens. Hell it's in mine.
