    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.

      The joke can be read as in the pointe being the stupidity of the second person for exactly the reason you gave.

      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.

      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.

      Fuck you, Applebee’s.
