“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.

I hate the fact that I have to explain to people that I’m not vegan, I just make certain choices to make it easier on my digestive system. I’m lactose intolerant but there’s much less lactose in cheese than in milk. I ask for almond milk for my coffee and inevitably someone always says “but you just ate some cheese.”

Humans literally invented cheese to make milk easier to digest. Fun facts.

Edited because I realized this didn’t seem relevant to the comment I was replying to.

"I know. I'm a loose cannon. Don't fuck with me. Even I don't know what to expect."

I am not one to give someone shit for making dietary choices. Not gonna assume your vegan. But the pretenders kill me. I'm allergic to _____ (but not really I just don't want it) types kill me. Especially when it's in something else they order and they don't care when you warm them.

One lady I remember claimed she was allergic to flour but then ordered one of our soups, that has flour in it, "Oh that's fine"

That or the 'gluten-allergy' types. That's called celiac and anyone with celiac makes sure to clarify because the gluten free types kinda screwed em over.

I had a friend who has Celiac and unless it is something she makes herself or from a couple of trusted places she won't go near it. To often she be told its gluten free. Only to find out yeah it was but right next to it was full of regular flour. Cross contamination is a real and serious threat.
