I’m really hoping nothing ever tops someone ordering a burger where I worked and then sending it back because they were ” allergic to protein”.

Reminds me of when someone asked for clam chowder with no clams.

Honestly I’d have the server go back to the table and clarify since they were stupid enough to take the order

I can’t stress enough on all these posts that crustacean allergies are not shellfish allergies and you can be allergic to one and not the other

Possible they have a shellfish allergy. Not for crustaceans, but for mollusks. Can’t use the same pot as them, just worded poorly.

They can have different types of allergies. Wouldn’t serve them anything until it was cleared up though.

Hate whoever accepted that order, not the genius who made it.
CutsSoFresh
Gonna repeat the others that this may be the type of shellfish allergy that involves mollusks like clams, oysters, and even octopus. Crustaceans are completely different even they too have shells, just not the calcium carbonate shells of the mollusks
People with such allergies really need to be more clear and explain to the staff these things
Edit: ah, I saw the update and it’s the customers hiding behind a fake allergy because they’re self entitled… Well, I hope they develop real allergies then

@ScubesKitchen on tiktok has an entire series about food orders that just don’t make sense, and it’s been incredibly cathartic to watch.

I used to work with a guy who had formerly been the buffet manager at a casino.
They had to ban a lady from the premise because *twice* she gorged herself on seafood and then popped her epi pen.

Nope

I had a guy say through the speaker that he wanted a Big Mac but with no rehydrated onions. He was pissed when he got no Mac Sauce. I explained that the Mac Sauce has the exact same rehydrated onions in it so I didn’t put it on. Turns out he’s not allergic to THOSE onions.

Allergic to boiled corn? What about creamed corn? Corn on the cob? Corn bread?

Total side note – I feel awful for people with seafood allergies. Missing out on so much good stuff.

I got one similar last week. Shellfish allergy orders dish with shrimp, wtf? Seek out server to clarify. The guest told them that it’s really only crab and mussels.

I had to explain to someone with a peanut allergy why they couldn’t have a peanut butter cookie milkshake 🤦♀️
Of course it was so severe they’d have gone into anaphylaxis, and of course they didn’t carry an epi pen!

These people need to be told to leave when they pull this shit.

This is an error in FOH, not just ignorance with the customer

That’s a server issue. Train them fuckers up on how to say ‘no’

That’s pretty shellfish of them

I worked at a seafood boil spot for a while. The amount of people that came in saying they had a seafood allergy was astounding.
“Do you have anything shellfish allergy friendly?”
“Nope even the soda has crabs in it. You should probably leave”

WTF, I have shellfish allergies, and I would not do that. But I have to make choices if I do have some as in no dairy product or alcohol.
