Health: Today, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy...

Today, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy to butter, she nonetheless put some on my baked potato. When I had her get me another, without butter, she came back with one and then asked if I would like butter with it. FML

Today, while waiting tables, I watched a woman pull the bacon off her roast beef melt and eat it. She then called me over and spent several minutes complaining about the our chefs' inadequacy because they didn't put bacon on her sandwich. FML

Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML

Today, I had a violent allergic reaction to some bread I ate at a restaurant. How did they apologize? By sending me a free basket of bread. FML

Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML

First date going well

Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML

Today, a woman threw a sandwich at me, told me to go back to "fucktard island" and demanded to see my manager. All because the mayonnaise sandwich she ordered, shockingly enough, had mayonnaise in it. FML

Today, at work a customer bitched me out for not explicitly telling her that our peanut butter pancakes contain real peanut butter. She's threatening to sue because she's allergic to peanuts. FML

Today, I got a client who ordered ice cream. She seemed really nice and I thought maybe she was into me. When I asked if she wanted peanuts for an additional 50 cents, she said no. Trying to be nice, I added them anyway free of charge. I later had to call the ambulance. She was allergic. FML

It was probably just a mechanical response. When you deal with customer service it tends to happen.

Was this waitress blonde? Meh, doesn't matter, sounds like she has the IQ of that one girl from Mean Girls. Seriously, just...why? You said no butter the first time, but she puts it on there anyway, yet when you tell her to bring you a new one and she does, she asks if you want butter. Uh...if you wanted butter, you wouldn't have sent the first one back. My faith in humanity declines more and more daily.

There is a reason why she is a waitress and not a scientist?

You really think that the waitress herself put the butter on your baked potato? She may have told the cooks not to, but some don't listen well. Yes, it was stupid for her to ask if you wanted butter the last time, but you must be one dense person if you seriously think that it must have been 100% her fault that you had butter on it the first time. I have been a waitress for years and it gets irritating when people yell at me for something the cooks did. Why don't you stop blaming your waitresses for everything? How about you attempt to be a waitress, then see how much you complain about your service after that?

Yes sometimes chefs don't read dockets properly, but if you are the waitress running the food out then you should check it's correct before you take it. The chef and the waitress are both to blame in this instance.

I think OP is only irritated because the question at the end, which made her feel like they seriously weren't paying attention to her. If it had only been the buttered potato, it would have felt like a simple mistake. But asking her if she would like butter on her potato, after specifically asking for a non-buttered one and saying that she was allergic to butter must have made her feel completely ignored, which is super irritating.
