Not The Cream Of The Crop, Part 6
I used to work at a fantastic Middle-Eastern restaurant that somehow became known for being very accommodating of dietary restrictions, so every third diner would tell us about some allergy they had.
Customer: “I have a severe dairy allergy, so that means no butter, no cream, no cheese, no cream cheese, no yogurt, and… there was one other thing…”
Me: “Milk?”
Customer: “No, milk is fine.”
Confused, I let the manager/owner know in case I was missing something obvious.
Owner: “Oh, just assume they’re allergic to everything. The survival instinct of the average middle-class bourgeoisie isn’t very strong.”
She got dairy-free everything, and we got no lawsuits.
