I don’t know, as someone with a nut allergy I don’t get why this is supposed to be funny. This is just my everyday life. Especially salad often has nuts like walnuts or almonds as decoration so it’s one of the foods where I have to be extra careful. Just like I always have to follow a coffee order with “no nuts, please”, because coffee is often decorated with almonds.
The tweet makes it sound like asking for no nuts on a salad is as outlandish as thinking there might be a bee in the steak, but walnuts, cashews or almonds are pretty common decorations on salads.
I would assume a lot of fear isn’t just from the Sallad having nuts, but that it would be cross contaminated.
I don’t know where you get coffee where they decorate it with nuts, but I need to know. So I can avoid them. Not that I’m allergic. I just think that’s sacrilegious.
Most cafés don’t, but I like to go to the smaller ones, not the big chains, and they can sometimes get very creative with almonds or hazelnut deco. It’s not the majority, but I don’t like to waste food so I always ask.
Ever since I ordered a 7-cheese macaroni and cheese side dish that lovingly named each cheese and didn’t mention it had chunks of bacon mixed in, I ask to be sure.
I think people with food allergies should not go to restaurants ever. Your health & life are at stake, and you are inconveniencing everyone including yourself. Just prepare food yourself at home. I have no allergies and I don’t even go to restaurants. Restaurants are excessive & unnecessary luxuries for everyone.
I hardly ever go out other than drinking but going out is such a huge part of all society. I’ve always refused to go out with colleagues because I can’t expect a team of work colleagues to always go to the one restaurant I know is save. Have you got any ideas how many fights with superiors and HR that got me in because “that’s part of the work culture and team spirit” and I’m always “the complicated one”?
Restaurants aren’t just a luxury. As I said, I hardly ever go out, but try having any career when you’re the only one who never joins for work lunches or after-work dinner. Or your friends birthday. Or the meeting of the friendgroup.
Going out to eat is deeply ingrained in our culture and it has serious effects on your social life if you refuse to do it.
"I don’t have allergies and even I don’t go to restaurants, so people with allergies don’t deserve to experience normal human life because it’s inconvenient for other people. "
Get off your highly horse and get fucked by it, buddy.

what kind of crazy person decorates a coffee with nuts?!
also side note: it should be illegal to put known allergens in anything without mentioning it…
Broadly classifies as gross negligence and any business that wants to stay in business will be wise to make that info public.
But I’d rather just not end up in an ER to begin with.

But how do you decorate liquid coffee?
I dont think its really making fun of anyone, its just some semi-grounded absurdity.
The joke can also be read as the pointe being the stupidity of the second person for exactly the reason you gave.

Fuck you, Applebee’s.
Bacon, the little known eigth cheese.

What a sanctimonious, self righteous asshole.

Historically, restaurants were for people too poor to even afford their own kitchen.
Or you can simply ask the staff about allergens, which they are legally required to disclose in any sane country.
Why are these kinds of comments always a confession?
Well that certainly is an opinion
