I had a woman tell me she was allergic to garlic. We use a lot of garlic in our kitchen; we also use it to season our fries, so there’s always a risk of cross-contamination, as it’s a powder.
As she was telling me things she wanted from our menu, I had to continuously tell her she couldn’t have it because it had garlic in it. She started getting frustrated.
Customer: "Well, what can I have?"

Customer: "Happy Mother’s Day!"
Me: *Stiffens, then adds curtly.* "Thank you."

We have a spineless manager who gives in to every customer request, and I do mean EVERY one. He ignores store policy every time a customer raises their voice.
