People should stop faking food allergies because it nullifies the experiences of those with real food allergies.
Food allergy is not a joke. It can get really serious and can be life-threatening. A couple went to an Italian restaurant. The server (OP) asked about if they had any food allergies or intolerances and they said “no”. OP brought their starters but before the woman touches the starter, she started inquiring about their meal. After some time, their mains arrived and Karen called OP again and told her that she was not happy with the service. OP told her that she can get it redone if she is not happy with the food but she said no.
After some time, she complained again about the food. OP told her if she can add more sauce but she told her to just bring garlic butter. OP gave her the garlic butter and a few minutes later, this woman started screaming that there were nuts in the meal and that she was allergic to nuts. Scroll down to read what happened next.
