While not the worst case, I feel like sharing my story.
I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome - and while it will never kill me outright or directly, it can cause me hours, or days, of constant cramping in my stomach, as well as dehydration if I don’t push fluids because of constant diarrhea.
One of my triggers is sesame seeds. I can have some but I usually have to have them replace the top bun with a bottom bun, and that usually is enough for me - either that or a whole different bun that lacks seeds.
And most people are kind about this, and most places do this. Five Guys do warn me the lower half of the bun contains some seeds (again, I just can’t have alot of seeds).
But my local Burger King never completely grasped this until recently. And what made it worse was it was one of the only fast food joints grandma liked to eat at (especially for breakfast, as she liked their breakfast sandwiches over McDonald’s, and since I was more of a lunch… lady… oh my god that’s awful)
I don’t think this was ever done out of malice on their parts though, I think it’s just a request they probably don’t get often and their order placement system does not really have an option (they should fix that, even McDonald’s does). Worst comes to shove I go home and replace it with my own seedless buns.
But still, seeing all these other stories… my god people. Don’t fuck with people’s food.
I have friends who are diabetic or pre-diabetic, have coeliac disease, and nut allergies… and that’s the ones I know of off the top of my head.
Don’t fuck them over because you think you’re sticking it to them and their “lol trendy [label here] diets”
