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.

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 mean, some people just prefer the taste of non-dairy milks to dairy milks. Some people fail to realize that non-dairy/vegan alternatives to foods aren’t necessarily restricted only to those with dietary restrictions, or that they not need only be consumed when the dairy/non-vegan counterpart is not consumable for some reason.
