Oh THANKS, Shrayber. I really needed another expensive thing to shop for.

Oh, Natasha, we get it. You’re still closer to Teen than Exhausted Parent. But trust me this article will come back to haunt you in some way.

I knew all about these teen tricks because I USED TO BE A TEEN.

Re: the fake allergies

“Also, please take this complementary diabetes as a souvenir of your tour!”

She probably opened it up to see what was wrong since it didn’t taste like artificial chocolate flavoring. Then she took the color as “proof” that there was’t enough chocolate in it. I know this particular brand of idiot quite well.

I generally find that the quality of a Chinese restaurant is inversely proportional to the % of its sales made up of buffalo wings, chicken tenders, and french fries.

The international breakfast is a half-waffle

“Here, we see a server remove the packaging from a frozen cheesecake that arrived on truck this morning to be thawed in a cooler. And so begins and ends our tour of Obscene Selection of Cheesecakes.”

Not to defend the idiocy, but some Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese/Japanese places do cross the borders and offer food from all over Asia if not the world. One of my fave Thai places in Naples, Florida has great sushi. And my fave Chinese place has great french fries and chicken tenders.

The sad part is a lot of non-chinese Asian restaurants end up putting some Chinese food on their menu, probably because its too much effort dealing with these basic people.

I just figured since the restaurant was called Tokyo, and the fact that the sign said “Japanese and hibachi,” it would have clued these college girls in on the fact that this wasn’t a Chinese restaurant.

Maybe hot chocolate lady was allergic to beige?

I despise peppers, hate them, the taste permeates everything it touches and makes me gag. That being said when I ask for them to be removed from things I say “I just really hate them and won’t like the food at all if it has peppers” because I do not wish to cheapen allergies by pretending I have one.

This, yes. I live in a town where dietary restrictions are all the rage, and our menu easily accommodates most of these. At this point, when people request gluten-free I clarify: celiac, or preference? Because the former requires a quarantine and the latter does not, and I have shit to do. Tree nuts, honey, tomatoes…

Restaurants are fun, but other entertainment options are available that may not be as life threatening. A library may be interesting.

If a common food could kill me, why am I trusting complete strangers to feed me? “Sir, I don’t know you but can you shoot this apple off my head with an arrow?”

This right here is why one of the local restaurants in my area is considering a ban on people with allergies. They’ve seen this happen so frequently that they simply no longer believe allergy claims.

I love mangoes. My stomach does not love mangoes. A restaurant once failed to honor my “seriously, no mango in this please” request and I ended up projectile vomiting all over everything, in full view of a ton of potential customers.

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…
