I’m one of those people. I won’t eat any filled donut, bc of the sensation of the filling vs. the pastry. Eclairs are the worst- it’s like getting a mouthful of cum from a donut shop. No thanks.

You know what’s worse than serving some dipstick who insists s/he can’t have gluten or raw tomatoes or tree nuts? Killing them with whatever they’re allergic to.

Thank you for writing this and for sharing this person’s story. I hope this gets mainpaged on every website across the interwebs. My daughter has a serious allergy to tree nuts (as in her throat will swell shut and she could die) and a good fifty percent of the time, when asking the server about the ingredients of a…

If you don’t know the difference between your and you’re, you’re part of the problem.
