I totally I agree, but what do you mean "your point?" I responded to Kappa Kitty or somebody, didn't I? I'm confused!
But you totally do have a point though, my family went out and we ordered water for the table, with all of them having lemon but 1. Sure enough, he brought 5 lemon waters and we had to tell him that my mom is allergic to citrus, go make hers without it like we asked the first time. Though that was something important, we shouldn't have had to say it to make him pay attention. If that had been something in her food that we asked to be taken out, granted we would have been much more clear about the fact that it is an allergy and that it's imperative that lemon be taken out of the dish. However, I feel that saying "hold the lemon" means what it means--no cook/chef/server should be so lazy that they have to be told "She'll die if she eats the lemon" before they do their job right.
