Yeap. They're great about that. My sister had the same allergies as the little boy (she outgrew her dairy allergy in her 20s, the nut allergy remains) in the "SERIOUSLY GLUTEN IS OKAY" story. They went to such lengths at Disney to make her feel like she had a wealth of choices, keep her safe, and not alienate her…

I may have to eat port wine cheese with pulled pork now. That sounds so wrong, it loops around to being right.

The allergy one makes me remember yet again why my brother and sister-in-law have a fondness for Disney.

Who THE HELL gives checks to a kid as a toy??!! That is SO irresponsible, lazy and stupid. I know it's that awesome mix of those 3 things because I too was "raised" by similar types and good god, just so glad we're all free!

it's almost like I want to share my own parents with this woman just so she could get in on my family jam too. My parents are sort of awesome.

With the toast situation, the very first time the customer complained, the server should have responded with a polite, "But this is whole wheat toast, ma'am. Would you like something else?" The entire drama would've been diffused right then. As a veteran server of over twelve years, I believe effective 2-way…

Your comment reminded me of the time I overheard a woman who was trying on shoes tell the salesperson, "I wear a seven, but a nine is more comfortable." Since I was standing close by and he knew I heard, the sales guy shot me an exasperated look. I nodded sympathetically and walked away giggling.

My brief story was an elderly woman came in to our store and ordered a burger.

Probably. We would have gotten that one right if you came into my Taco Bell.

I have had the odd person completely flip out on me for trying to save them money with some creative menu rearrangement or explaining that ordering two smalls or a large half and half will save them fifteen dollars. Most people are very nice whether they want to switch their order or not (and if you don't it's…

The stories here are great but, I'm not going to lie, my favourite part was the "Part One" in the title.

Come on now. Everyone knows that cut toast releases powerful and potentially deadly gluten fumes.

I'm aware that not everyone has exposure to the same experiences in life (ex. if you had asked me how to pronounce "merlot" at age 16, I prob would have said Merr-Lott) but I am truly sad for actual adults who don't understand chocolate cake, uncut pieces of toast, eggs to order, root beer that is sold a la carte,…

The Whole Wheat Toast is the best, because it was so obvious once I read it fully, but at that same time I had no idea of the punchline until the end.

Stories like that one drive me insane. My husband has a severe nut allergy - anaphylaxis, hives, imminent death without medical intervention severe. Stuff like the ground hazelnut lady desensitizes people, and could potentially cause someone to not take a nut allergy as seriously as it should be taken.

This makes me so proud, you have no idea.

Uh oh, you just described my dad and my family. I thought we were the only ones that did this. Note that he is old, rich, rude, socially clueless, can't hear and won't get a hearing aid, so his standard response is WHAT???? and of course he's cheap. As kids we had no clue, as adults we got a clue when my mom told…

Yes, random internet commentators, shitty tippers aren't the problem, tipping culture is the problem. You are technically correct- if restaurants would only pay their servers a living wage, and if there was some sort of legislation to enforce this, we wouldn't need to shame all the poor shitty tippers.

With you. It's been two months of bad, with a couple of total freaking nightmares happening simultaneously the last two weeks. This column ... thank you, Kitchenette.
