believe me when I say I get the frustration of people who say they’re gluten free ordering things that contain gluten and not caring, but I will always always always assume someone who orders gluten free is being deadly serious. if I’m wrong, the worst thing I’ve done is wasted a bit of my time; if I assume they aren’t serious and they are, then I’ve increased a stranger’s risk of colon cancer

“I bet they’re not even allergic to nuts!”

oh gee would i rather have the petty joy of proving a stranger ‘wrong’ or risk sending somebody into fucking anaphylaxis? it’s not hard folks

You should also do this for folks who say they’re vegan– egg and dairy allergies are some of the most common allergies and if you have both like me, the easiest way to find food to eat is look for stuff labeled vegan. Don’t be a shithead and slip eggs or dairy into something vegan (looking at you, baristas who think it’s hilarious to put regular cream instead of almond milk because you think almond milk is “pretentious”) because you never know if there’s a significant health reason behind being vegan. Also you shouldn’t do it anyway because you should like, actually respect people’s ability to choose what foods they eat, but yeah. Don’t lie about what you’re putting in food. I’ve had too many allergic reactions because of this.
