So true. We went to a favorite restaurant (we're known my name when we walk in) with a friend who's allergic to difficult things, like garlic. We got a server who was new and when told of the allergy we were told "well, I guess this one thing would be OK." Knowing that they pretty much cook everything to order and that they're extremely willing to put something special together we flagged over a well-known server, who instantly gave us like 20 options of things they could do along the lines of "we have some really nice tomatoes and basil today, I could have the chef whip up a little fresh marinara...) After the dinner we had a little chat with the manager, and the new server didn't last long.
