Response to 4/9/11 session

The waitress just beamed at us and said: "Oh! I asked the chef, and he said those were FILBERTS."

That was a turning point for my friend, she never believed me when I told her how ignorant wait staff were about food allergies.

And apologies for the continued hijacking of this thread - but just recently I was at a restaurant and asked them where they got their Florida Grouper, was it from the Gulf coast of Florida? The waitress said, "Oh, I heard the Gulf is cleaner now than it's ever been because they've been cleaning it so much". I just looked at her and said, "that's not true" and ordered a salad...

LOL X 10000000

Well sometimes people don't know, that's what I say what I want and what I don't want, and if the put it on the table, I just don't eat it.

Just not going to pay for food from a restaurant if I can not eat it. :O

It is a good lesson in patience and external consideration...

Well it depends on what you order, sometimes you may eat everything on the table. But sometimes for example in the mornings they put bread toasted over the table to eat it with marmalade, and whether I eat it or not they'll charge it, they are not looking if you've eaten the cheese on the soup, they will charge it anyways lol.

But of course that's the way I do it.
