‘You brought this on yourself…’: Server puts lying patron in her place after fabricating a food allergy in an attempt to force the restaurant to accommodate her food preferences

A career in the service industry is never easy. However, it gets ten times more challenging when someone tells the chef they have dietary sensitivities in order to ensure that they take their dislike of a specific ingredient seriously.

The story that follows is relayed by an unhappy server. The Original Poster (OP) is in charge of asking customers if they have any special dietary needs that the chef should be aware of. That's why OP investigated the matter properly when a disgruntled customer claimed to have a garlic allergy. However, after talking with the restaurant more in-depth about it, OP discovered that the client was only pretending to have an allergy in order to pressure them to comply. 

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning what happened between OP and the entitled patron as well as how OP got even! When you've finished reading the piece, don't forget to read about the client who paid an IT specialist $1000 after giving the team access to the administrator password!
