I'm working as a restaurant manager couple of years now and couple of things are happening almost every day and they are annoying as hell. Even if you are happy working, your staff is cool and happy, there are always these weird and annoying customers that they are going to kill completely your mood just because they think they can lie and everyone will believe them.
To start with (please don't do any of the following if you go to a restaurant), it's perfectly fine and noone will mind AT ALL if you state to your waiter that you don't like an ingredient e.g. corriander instead of pretending that you are allergic to it. If you do so, instead of us being careful not to serve this ingredient to you, we have to follow all the procedure (washing equipment, preparing everything from beginning) which will take way longer than usual and will result you waiting for NO reason at all and then complain that the food takes too long. Extra chances are that your friends will be already eating when you get your dish. Just be honest and everything will be much more faster and better.
Second one, eating gluten free food doesn't mean you are on diet. Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. By not eating gluten you avoid that. Indeed there is a gluten free diet but this is much more different than the "Oh I gained 4 kg on Christmas holidays, time to go gluten free".
I'm allergic as well but when I go out and they can't provide a lot of dishes for me I don't get upset. When you go out and you state that you are allergic to dairy, gluten, nuts and you are vegan don't be surprised and don't act like a dickhead if they can't provide a lot of food.
IF you change many ingredients, be prepared for the result. Happened a lot of times, a customer asking to remove the ingredients a,b,c and add extra d,e,f and then after he eats a bit he states "oh this doesn't taste like it tastes usually". OF COURSE IT DOESN'T. You changed the whole recipe and now you are not happy. Just don't do it. Remove one or two and it's fine. Remove more and you are ruining the recipe. And no, removing a lot of ingredients, doesn't decrease the price of it. We give you the item at that price with all the ingredient's listed as a maximum one. That means you can have them all included and you are not paying more than that. If you want to exclude one is up to you but that doesn't affect the price at all.
TL;DR Coupe of things at work are annoying and mood killing. Don't lie to your waiting staff.
confanity
In Japan I'd occasionally let people think I had allergies because my actual food restrictions were too much of a pain to explain.
MermaidJuniper
Keep the damn cilantro off my plate and maybe I wouldn't have to pretend I have an allergy to keep the server or kitchen from forgetting
etilauqa
I spent $60 for a mandatory band trip that came with a "free meal." I told the lady I was allergic to mustard because she refused me one w/o
Dayrest
Had someone order "Chef chucks spicy chicken curry" then send it back because it was too spicy.
DeusExSpockina
Also,as someone who is GF, don’t advertise a menu having GF options and then only offer a sandwich w/o bread. It’s not a sandwich. Fuck you.

Tootsie1
And what about those of us with strange allergies. I'm allergic to raw onions but can eat them once their cooked. 1/2
Tootsie1
The onion juice in it's raw form leaves open sores in my mouth, throat and stomach. Heat breaks down the acid, and then I'm ok. Not fun. 2/2
aufkurs
The only time I got stiffed as a server was because this lady wanted plain tortillas rather than the spinach tortilla on a veggie wrap. 1/
aufkurs
Brought the kitchen manager out, he literally shows her our only plain tortillas are like 3 inches and the spinach is a good 10. He says 2/
aufkurs
we'll split the contents into 3 little wraps but 1: it won't be good quality, and 2: it'll take the kitchen for fucking ever to wrap the 3/
aufkurs
tiny ones and keep them folded. Wanted them anyway cuz eww spinach on my veggie wrap! Obviously took for. She was pissed. I didn't care. 4/4
anonnona887
I have a friend like that. Only likes meat, Pepsi, and junkfood. Hasn't been to a doctor in +8 years and talks out of his ass about "I'm -
anonnona887
Allergic to all fruits and veggies, except for mash potatoes, green bean casserole, and etc.."
DeniseReade
You don't really need a doctor to diagnose a food allergy. Usually the rash, swelling and not breathing will do the trick. Confirmation is 1
DeniseReade
always good to have but food allergies don't require a medical diagnosis. In fact, if you go to a healthcare facility and claim an allergy 2
DeniseReade
They don't ask about diagnosis date, they ask about what happens when you have it. That confirms allergy vs drama and informs of severity
auserwithaname
The only thing I will say is that waitstaff (through no fault of their own) often aren't trained well enough in how an allergy should (1/2)
auserwithaname
Be handled. I always feel like an asshole describing what I need the kitchen to do but hesitation when I say i have a nut allergy (2/3)
auserwithaname
Doesn't inspire confidence. Again, I'm not complaining about waitstaff more apologizing for acting like a prick, but i don't want to die (3)
LateNightBunnyParty
I'm allergic to onions, and it is a BITCH trying to eat out.
Xedi22
And packaged food — it’s in everything! (Wife had to avoid onion and garlic for a short time.)
LateNightBunnyParty
Yes! I have to cook from scratch just about every meal whether I want to or not, cuz nearly everything prepackaged contains onion.
sirbartonslady
Onion is one of the core ingredients in modern cooking, so that's not a surprise. Sucks for you, though. :(
LateNightBunnyParty
It does indeed.
FjordFiskursson
Onions are what food is made of. If there are no onions, it's not food, it's a dessert.
LateNightBunnyParty
Yeah. Real helpful thing to say to the person who WILL DIE if they eat it.
FjordFiskursson
I'll tell you a helpful thing. Allergies are not real.
LateNightBunnyParty
What the hell are you talking about? Of course they're real.
crimsonghost1
I'm legitimately allergic to shellfish. Keep that shit away from my food.
AManWhoWasntThere
I don't know how i would live if i was allergic to shellfish...i love it too much
crimsonghost1
I wasnt at one point. FML.
sniffinbikeseats
God, that sucks. I hate that for you.
ilovemyslippers
WTF, i thought you were born with allergies! I didn't know you could get them. Today I will eat all the cheese.
LibrarianCatLady
Repeated/high exposure to something can cause your immune system to attack it.
NukerNoah
Truth. My mom started reacting to iodine after working as a nurse for several years. RIP seafood.
BeatYaToIt
I was in the hospital today for an allergic reaction .. please people, don't undermine the legitimacy of allergies.
Junktrunkjunkie
When i was younger i thought i had an allergy to cigarette smoke. people told me I just didn't like it. I ended up finding out it was asthma
PsycheClone
As someone who is allergic to a lot of stuff, yes I will tell you I'm allergic because I don't want to die to avoid inconveniencing you.
sniffinbikeseats
As a waiter, I will do everything in my power to keep you from an allergen. ALWAYS tell us! :)
PsycheClone
Thank you, you're a good person.
TwistedAttitudes
#3 I work at an Ihop. People get upset occasionally when they don't eat gluten and I tell them that we don't have gluten free pancakes
AntaNce
that's stupid. like going for sushi if you can't eat fish. smh
TwistedAttitudes
Yeah, like I get that some places might have some gluten free options but don't be surprised if a chain pancake place doesn't
AntaNce
ikr, no filet mignon at chick-fil-a
abundantbadgers
I've told people at a pho place "no cilantro, please" and they've told me "then why did you even come here?"
hwatL4bloopy
Nice! it's in everything. it's like going to a Chinese place and asking for no soy.
abundantbadgers
I feel that way at Mexican places, but I just meant don't sprinkle the cilantro on top of the soup, it's like literally the last step. :(
hwatL4bloopy
There's already corriander in the soup.
abundantbadgers
Coriander pods, right? It has a completely different taste compared to leaves. Leaves taste like soap to me. I'm not allergic, obviously.
hwatL4bloopy
oh, i assumed allergy. that would be an inconvenience for you, restaurant should step up. usually the cilantro and onions are prep together
onlywisehermit
Shellfish allergy over here. I stay away from seafood places.
CheshirecatOnmyChest
I try and avoid mine, kinda hard when a coworker brings in clam chowder and doesn't let me know before I walk past their desk and get sick.
WhyDontYouMakeMe
I had a lactose intolerant lady who was "allergic" to garlic and gluten walk into an Italian restaurant. What did she think she could eat?
sirbartonslady
the lettuce, apparently
tinabean
I’m allergic to garlic but there’s definitely a dose response. Small amounts of well cooked garlic is fine.
tinabean
I try to check the item description/name and ask questions if I’m unsure about ordering something.
elysemonster
Gluten free italian here! Sometimes family goes out wherever and doesn't think to consider the gluten freedas of the fam. Even though we 1/
elysemonster
...speak up every time. "Just have a salad you'll be fine!" There are 3 of us now and if I don't cook separate food, none of us would eat!
elysemonster
Side note: we've all been tested, celiac runs in my dad's side :(
WhyDontYouMakeMe
Garlic, gluten, and dairy are the building blocks of every Italian recipe I know of

CheshireAlice
Capresse?
elysemonster
Its always capresse...
Dickslover
That has cheese doesn't it?
DigitalKiwi
Cheese doesn't always cause major problems for lactose intolerance. Depends on the cheese and how willing someone is to suffer in spite of.
Dickslover
I'm lactose intolerant, well aware of that lmao
Dyslexicbirch
Iam a celiac idk how many people have looked at me like im a freak or a lier when ive asked for gf and told them why, ive even gotten sick
Lsai
I get that all the time, too. Fun part about it is I react in 10 minutes, meaning I will still be in the restaurant when it happens
Dyslexicbirch
I take a day to react
Amadmanwithabox0
We pretend to be allergic because it's more likely they they will do it
CeruleanK
But is it? Seems like mentioning it adds about 30% to the likelihood of some dick trying to kill you just to punish you for being weird.
MichaelDello
Yes, it is. I worked at a cafe where they told me to disregard some requests unless it was stated it was an allergy.
MichaelDello
Example, customer asks for skim milk in coffee in my first week, boss tells me to use regular milk because they won’t be able to tell.
thorhallericson
I have a digestive disorder where I cant digest Onion, and my body instead violently expels it out of both ends, and yet I still get
thorhallericson
waiters telling me "oh I don't like onion either but its not much you cant even taste it" I happily wait the extra time instead
DeusExSpockina
That sounds like an allergy/intolerance, not a dislike.
thorhallericson
oh it is, but because its less common than say peanut allergy its taken as a "dislike" which is the other side of the coin
AmbersLucky11
All of these SHOULD be common sense but are sadly not.
tazednconfused
Theres no such thing as common sense. As a drinker, i think its ‘common sense’ to not drink and drive. Guess what happens all the time?
silentjay01
Worked for over a decade in customer service, the only cents I ever commonly saw were pennies.
DetectiveSloth
Shoutout to the ones who accommodate allergies though. Sorry I'm such a pain in the ass.
ChefWolverine
20 years in this business and I will bend over backwards to make sure you are safe and happy, doesn't mean I won't bitch about it tho. Lol
saladsaladsalad
And don't forget to tip!
Philanthropyman
This is only true for some of the world, most of the world pays it's wait staff actual wages.
kruug
The US still pays their wait staff actual wages...
Philanthropyman
1-3$ an hour is not an actual livable wage. Most also don't get health and benefits. Unless you work Fridays and Saturdays you get little.
kruug
They have to make at least minimum wage after tips. Restaurant is responsible if they don’t make that. Benefits are for full time, most...
kruug
...wait staff don’t work enough to be considered full time.
HikariShade
Only in the US (and parts of Canada).
Dayrest
I've lived in 5 provinces in Canada and never seen wait staff that don't rely on tips
HikariShade
I've been a few places that dont ask you to tip here in BC, but most places do. *shrug*
58d8fee2
The problem with the allergy/I don't like thing is that too many restaurants don't care, so customers have learned to be extreme in response
Ifyourenotfirstyourelast
True. The only time I’ve ever lied about an allergy is when I’ve repeatedly gotten a dish with something I’ve asked to omit.
Ifyourenotfirstyourelast
Worth noting that the only time I used it, I still got that ingredient on my dish, then never went back.
aesthesia1
Onions make me vomit. Many times ive been served onions that i requested removed in dishes that shouldnt have them anyway.
StephsStar
The problem with being extreme is some staff may think someone's lying when they're not and blow them off.
tysker86
Honestly its non of the staffs business whos lying. If someone says they have an allergy its not a cue for them to start dective work.
hwatL4bloopy
That never happens! I never ignored an allergy comment
kittyfloof
Then you're one of the good ones, us allergy sufferers thank you!
mormonator12
Well, if they do that, I hope they enjoy the lawsuits
hwatL4bloopy
Yeah totally!
gothichippie190
^ I was at a place once with a limited vegetarian menu. I ordered the César salad, no anchovies and with ranch. It came out with anchovies.
gothichippie190
Obviously I sent it back and turns out they just picked off the anchovies and sent it back to me. That was a fun ER trip
angelaurora7777
As I replied elsewhere, I've had a waiter straight up tell me "no" to omitting a drizzle of Sriracha. Saying it was an allergy though..idk
Taalii
Lying about a medical condition ought to be a felony. You should not slow down the entire kitchen because your snowflake self is picky.
somadicouldspitfire
My brother was just hospitalized because the inept kitchen didn't think he was allergic to aged cheese and still put parmesan cheese in the
somadicouldspitfire
dish. Now they're paying $3500 hospital bill. Maybe next time they'll listen & follow through when told someone has an allergy.
Frankiness
So is he allergic to the mold aspect of it, or something else? Genuinely curious, I work with a kid who has a mold allergy.
somadicouldspitfire
Don't think it's the mold bc otherwise he'd also have issues when he's come into contact with other molds. Just something in the process of
Taalii
Sorry he had to deal with that, but the fact is mistakes happen. If it's THAT bad, do not put that on minimum wage workers shoulders.
goste
So you’re saying that minimum wage workers can’t follow simple instructions? Wow.
Taalii
No, I'm saying minimum wage workers do a repetitive task. Make a change, muscle memory causes mistakes.
somadicouldspitfire
"Deal with that"... asshole he could have died. Go fuck yourself.
Taalii
Yeah, he COULD have died. You cannot trust others with your own life, ESPECIALLY when those others are under a LOT of distractions.
loyd184
Alright cool, but we also got to make it a felony for the kitchen to get an order wrong to make it fair.
khora
I assume you would not be able to buy food out then.
Taalii
Do you have any idea how much it slows down service, how much other customers scream at me, because someone in front of them makes some 1/2
Taalii
demand that takes a LOT of time and effort to meet? Try and explain, get told it's not their problem. You cannot have it both ways. 2/3
Taalii
If you want to be able to make endless custom demands, than you accept that service WILL be slow, or go make your own fucking dinner.
Taalii
Kitchen makes mistake, MISTAKE. You lie about allergy, store has to spend money and time on it, while slowing service for others.
somadicouldspitfire
We were the only fucking table
Taalii
Well sometimes the kitchen staff are idiots. I have no defense for that one.
DeniseReade
This is what sending a dish back is for. Or not eating there again. Or leaving bad social media reviews. There are steps you can take. 1/
DeniseReade
Someone with allergies has less steps and more upsetting consequences.
shark805
I tell fast-food workers that I'm allergic to tomatoes, because otherwise the consistently fuck up my order. Only fast-food, though.

TheBlueSquid
Ooh ooh! Can I be a problem too?
MaverickTama
Why? Isnt no tomato and im allergic to tomato the same difference?
Xedi22
The way a good kitchen handles it is very different, so no. Sucks places can’t get it right either way though...not sure best approach.
DeniseReade
McD's always got my burger wrong so instead of lying about allergies I tried this new thing where I just don't order a burger there
cKerensky
Yup. Same here. I always try to over salt it, so they don't give me the same one back
hwatL4bloopy
Does that work?
PirateFroglet
I believe the salting is just so you can catch them just taking off the tomato or whatever, not to ensure they remake it.
cKerensky
Correct.
Maitrify
#1 Then get my order right the first time
PardusXY
In my experience, orders get fucked up, because the customer doesn't clearly communicate their order.
SixThreeSixxxer
Step one: blame the customer. Because you’re perfect and you never make mistakes.
PardusXY
Never ever had the job, I have just seen other customers, time and time again do the same shit.

Some people have to avoid sodium for health reasons, but the ‘allergy’ excuse tends to get taken more seriously.

There is such a thing as sodium or iodine intolerances.

AngryTeacher
I'm allergic to them too! And bananas. People are very surprised by my food allergies.
meskarune
Sounds like a latex allergy, lots of foods have latex in them.
AngryTeacher
My reaction is more of an intolerance. And I'm not allergic or anything to Anu other foods so not sure that theory would be consistent
meskarune
There is a list here if you want to read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latex_allergy#Latex-fruit_syndrome
meskarune
The only reason I thought of latex allergy is that is the main thing bananas and avocado have in common.
AngryTeacher
No fair hypothesis! Thanks for the info!
Complexwren
On the other hand though. Don't assume they're lying about having an allergy because it's something weird like tomatoes. I hate hospitals.

For me, it's more akin to what lactose intolerant people get, a really upset stomach. But only for raw yellow and red onions.
RitaManeata
A friend of mine said she was allergic because they ALWAYS put jalapenos on her food when she requested they not.

As someone who is actually allergic to cucumbers, I guess I am lending credence to your false claim. Congrats!

But it hurts you in no way. Unless waiters start beeing dicks about it, in which case IMO they are to blame.

I hate cilantro. If I ask for my dish without they ignore it or forget. Every. Time.

Send it back every single time. I would assume they can't remove cilantro afterward, and you're under no obligation to pay for something »

that you didn't order. They have to deal with the loss.

I hate parsley. Same thing happens. Seriously though, why does parsley need to be sprinkled on every mother effing thing?
