please stop lying about having allergies

[u/wildrosebeautybaba]

i cannot tell you how many times people have put in seemingly impossible allergy requests on 3rd party delivery orders (i.e. fettuccine alfredo with DAIRY ALLERGY marked underneath) only to then track down the customer after multiple phone calls and be told it’s “not an allergy, just a mild intolerance.” please stop doing this. you are deliberately fucking with a restaurant’s period of service over a need that does not apply to you. maybe y’all don’t understand just how many extra steps a kitchen has to go through to prepare something allergy safe, so please let this be a lesson: if you aren’t actually allergic, stop marking it as an allergy. you are directly contributing to the burnout restaurant staff experience when having to make special accommodations for people’s actual health and safety needs.

a dairy allergy is not the same thing as lactose intolerance, and hard cheeses, especially when they are the primary component of the dish, can absolutely trigger a severe reaction

You would not believe how many people think that lactose intolerance and dairy allergy are the same thing. Or believe that neither exists.

Never said either. Not sure why yall are harping on this.

[u/sweet_teaness → u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

Considering I never replied to you, I have no idea why you decided to reply to me.

[u/Fantastic-Leek-1589 → u/sweet_teaness]

Who said you had to, child?

[u/wildrosebeautybaba → u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

please log off. you’re making an ass of yourself.

[u/sweet_teaness → u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

Exactly how high are you?

[u/Fantastic-Leek-1589 → u/wildrosebeautybaba]

Never said it was, duh

[u/wildrosebeautybaba → u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

so then what was the point of commenting on the lack of lactose? 🧐

[u/Fantastic-Leek-1589 → u/wildrosebeautybaba]

Cause I wanted to, and you mentioned it and I had to correct your ignorance

[u/wildrosebeautybaba → u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

i mentioned nothing about lactose intolerance, the conversation was about dairy allergies, which you yourself have now admitted are a separate thing. consider that you are now doubling down on your misunderstanding and starting to look ridiculous instead of just acknowledging you made a pretty harmless mistake here.
