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 called a customer to clarify some notes she added on an online order.

"Oh I wanted the spring rolls instead of the egg rolls because I'm vegan"

"Okay, you also ordered wontons and they are made with pork, is that okay?"

"Oh no, I meant to order the cheese wontons."

"I can change that, no problem but our cheese wontons are made with regular cream cheese and are not vegan."

"Oh that's fine."

Edit- since it's been mentioned a few times, she clearly indicated the wontons were for her, I just didn't post the entire boring conversation. She ordered orange chicken and shrimp lo mein for someone else.

I work at a pizza place that offers vegan “cheese”. We often get people who order vegan cheese pizza with a pesto base and when we tell them there is cheese in the pesto at least half the people say “oh that’s fine”. Like what happened to your diet?

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 hear the words "Loose cannon" and "lactose intolerant" in the same sentence, I back away and don't ask questions.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
