Customer Fakes Seafood Allergy to Order Seafood Pasta, Claims Server.
A TikTok video by a server has gone viral, recounting an incident where a customer claimed to have a shellfish allergy but then ordered seafood pasta. The server offered to replace the seafood with chicken, but the customer refused. It later emerged that the customer simply didn't like crab. Research shows that up to 20% of people claim to have a food allergy when they don't actually have one. This can have serious ramifications, as it may make others think that food allergies aren't a big deal.
