ive attended six total therapy sessions in my life and it was with a free university counsellor and i told her one thing that ill admit was pretty concerning but aside that spent the entire time waffling about shit that isnt actually super important i was 100% just talking for the sake of talking with 0 intention of receiving help and then when she asked me to come back i never rebooked and now i think daily about the fact she has information about me written down and i sometimes convince myself she’s going to use it maliciously and it is something i actively regret because of aforementioned conviction. so all in all i’d say i handled the whole thing with the mental fortitude of someone in need of significantly more therapy

i'm just gonna say it. on the app that could reasonably be called Misinformation: The Website, where you have no good reason to believe almost anything that anyone says, where people are known to play genuine fucked up long cons where they go so far as to fake a disability, or stage scenes of verbal/emotional abuse with their partners, or make some other incredibly serious claim only to eventually come out and admit that they lied or faked it to be *interesting* or whatever... i think it's wise to take the anecdote of a single random person with a grain of salt

sometimes i hate customers so muchhh. today a lady was like "could i have a chicken burger" which is Normal except we have two types of cbs (chicken burgers) so im like "lemon and garlic marinated cb or buttermilk fried cb?" (this is on the menu. and also, this will be relevant later, allergens are listed on the menu. including dairy. she had the menu. she read the menu) and shes like "whats the difference?". and im like "... well one of them tastes of garlic and lemon, and the other one doesnt + is more in line with what youd expect of a normal chicken burger." she goes "okay. ill take the normal chicken burger." "awesome!". "[serious expression] but no cheese please, if i have cheese i'll have to go the hospital." and im worried, so i go "oh, are you lactose intolerant? i can tell the kitchen to be extra careful." this is normal procedure if someone is allergic. she goes "yes, im lactose intolerant." im like "great ill let them know to be careful + no cheese!"
then just before i put the order in im like. "wait fuck. buttermilk chicken burger. buttermilk. oh my god shes going to die." and i go back to be like " ! heyyy the regular chicken burger is buttermilk which is dairy, is there an alternative you'd prefer? would you rather the lemon and garlic?" she stares at me uncomprehendingly. and then she goes "i cant have garlic. and im sure the buttermilk will be fine as long as theres no cheese." internally im going holyshit shes going to die. but like if she says its fine..... so i go "ah well if youre sure..." but eventually she goes "well alright ill have the lamb dish instead then. to be safe" i go great!
then i check the menu as im inputting the order. on the menu it says theres dairy in the lamb dish. im like "oh fuck" but i go sort it out with the kitchen and we come up with a lactose free alternative (dont fry with butter, different side dish etc). all good! she eats the lamb and doesnt die!
and then. and then after dessert she asks for tea and i see her ask a coworker for some milk for the tea. im going to throttle someone <3
tldr customer said she was deathly allergic to cheese. and ordered TWO meals with dairy in them (clearly indicated in menu). i was convinced she was gonna die. and then she asked for milk in her tea.
