However, you made a big deal out of not being able to eat eggs....and then on your next visit you ordered eggs....I would've been a little PO'd at that, BUT the waiter certainly should have KEPT THAT THOUGHT TO HIMSELF---especially if he wanted any tip at all...
Easy solution---DON'T GO THERE EVER AGAIN!!!....and spread the word locally about the service/food too..
Interesting response. I can't eat eggs. I didn't tell the waiter why, it was none of his business. I didn't order eggs, but he brought them to me anyway. Why shouldn't I make a big deal out of it? Had I been allergic and didn't notice they were real eggs, I would have been in real trouble....and so would the restaurant!.
You would have been p.o'd if someone ordered one thing and got something else? Upset because you were told someone couldn't eat eggs and didn't order eggs. I didn't feel the reason why was any of his business. And it isn't. I rarely eat eggs because of cholesterol.... so I can't have them. Because I ordered them the next time shouldn't affect him in any way.....(it was a treat as I said in my OP) and I can't believe that I have to lay down my medical history regarding this in order to "satisfy" a server who thinks they need to understand why.
So...you CAN eat eggs, you usually CHOOSE not to. Big difference. It's no wonder he questioned you on your second visit. And if it's none of his business on your second visit, it was none of his business on your first visit.
You DID tip him. Because you felt sorry for him? A charity tip? A pity tip? Certainly not for his excellent service.
And yet you berated him loudly with the intention of attracting the attention of others. Trying to imagine that...yelling back and forth, hubby gets involved, and leave a tip on the table...or did you hand it to him?...on your way out.
WOW.
eta...Had you been allergic you would have SAID you were allergic and more likely than not care would have been taken to avoid serving you eggs.
I totally, and 100% agree with you.
That's why I said there is a difference between , "I CAN'T eat eggs", and "I DON'T eat eggs".
The o/p can clearly eat eggs, just simply chooses not to.
As another pointed out, eggs don't really affect cholesterol.
If one is allergic to eggs, I would think that they would say, "I can't have eggs".
If it's simply a matter of choice, because one can eat them, with no ill effects, then I would think that they would say, "I DON'T eat eggs".

That all may be true but:
(1) It was nevertheless highly inappropriate for the server to comment/say anything aobut it;
(2) It's possible, for whatever reason, that a person "can't eat eggs" on a certain day and that not be the case at a later date. None of the server's business.
Hi @Q4u
My husband is also diabetic, Type 2.
Just an FYI, but there's a lot of information out that eating eggs can help reduce the risk of diabetes, four a week they say.
You might want to check with your doctor to see what he or she says, or just do a little reading about it online so you know what to ask.
That said, I don't agree with those here who are acting as if it's all your fault. Ignore them, not every woman is bold and assertive.
Have a good day
