What's irresponsible is going out to eat when you know you have a deadly allergy, or if your child has a deadly allergy.

And it's borderline criminal that people would put someone's life in someone else's hand.

It's like going to someone for support for suicide, or threatening to commit suicide unless someone does something.

It's selfish.

You are literally putting you/or someone else's life in the hands of the staff and management. I would not want to be held liable for the company or your life.

If I was an owner or manager of an establishment, I would tell people with deadly allergies to go somewhere else, because I DO NOT want to be responsible for someone else's life. Fuck that!

You would also have to not put antifreeze or anthrax in their food, and take care to keep the rat poison (that all food service establishments are required to have) out of the food.

This is why restaurants are generally run by people who give a fuck about the wellbeing of others, and are not run by you.

Any restaurant that regularly cross-contaminates ingredients badly enough to make anyone but the .0001% of most serious allergies sick has such terrible quality control and sanitation practices that I wouldn't want to eat there anyway.

You can't run a restaurant kitchen like a kitchen at home where something falls and gets a bit of dirt on it but you throw it back in the pan anyway because you know you're not personally going to die from that particular bit of dirt.
