I'm sorry, but it is entirely unreasonable to put whether or not you live or die in the hands of a minimum wage service worker. If a sip of milk or a bit of egg would kill you, you need to prepare your own food.
25You've got that backwards.
Service jobs deserve much better wages and training so they can kill fewer people.
27The problem is that many people don't know how's severe they have it until it's too late. Some people develop/find allergies as babies and might go years or decades without touching the stuff. Sometimes the allergy disappears, sometimes it gets letally worse.
9You would think a cafe worker would have been trained to make any of their drinks from the five or six milk alternatives when requested
You would expect a food service worker to have been thoroughly trained in serving customers with allergies
The worker's allergy training was a self paced, at home, online course and quiz. That's not enough to ensure your staff don't accidentally kill the customers
1If you have an allergy to milk so severe you'll die, you're probably just gonna die. Unless you only eat what you or mom prepared.
It's not about training, mistakes happen. If NASA engineers make mistakes that crash billion dollar spacecraft, you'd better believe the folks who make your food are going to make mistakes. Don't put your life in their hands.

Always got to love victim blaming. It's always a class act.
-2I mean, the server is a victim too, aren't they? I would be horrified if something so simple I did killed someone.

Yeah but her Mom watched Disney+ once so it's legal
22Actually there was a TV playing old VH1 reruns, so she actually by default agreed to be poisoned.
