Imagine you’re a server and one of your customers says they have a food allergy. It’s a busy night and, despite the best intentions, you forget to tell the kitchen. So your customer ends up getting served the very thing they’re allergic to.
Best-case scenario: they lied because they don’t like the item. Worst-case scenario: anaphylactic shock. In the latter instance, you could potentially face civil or even criminal liability.
