A restaurant often asks about intolerances—that is, food intolerances.
   
“At a restaurant that asks you to let them know if you have any intolerances. Yep, people who don’t indicate properly on roundabouts for one” was posted on Twitter by Richard Norris on February 12, 2017. “In a restaurant and they have a sign up ‘please let us know if you have any intolerances’, just told them I can’t stand people who don’t signal properly on roundabouts” was posted on Twitter by Richard Norris on April 1, 2018.
   
The following joke was posted on Sickipedia on March 29, 2023:
     
“Any intolerances?” asked the waitress.
“Well, I can be a bit racist,” I admitted.
     
       
Wikipedia: Food intolerance
Food intolerance is a detrimental reaction, often delayed, to a food, beverage, food additive, or compound found in foods that produces symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but generally refers to reactions other than food allergy. Food hypersensitivity is used to refer broadly to both food intolerances and food allergies.

If you go to the restaurant at Trump Tower, they ask if you have any intolerances.
If you say ‘no’, you have to leave.

In a restaurant and they have a sign up ‘please let us know if you have any intolerances’, just told them I can’t stand people who don’t signal properly on roundabouts.

The waiter just asked my Dad if he has any intolerances. I thought he’s 87 FFS how long have you got. Basically everything since 1972 mate

On a restaurant menu yesterday, it asked if I had any ‘intolerances’. I said I wasn’t keen on piercings but I could cope with smaller tattoos if tasteful

At a restaurant in the north of Ireland this afternoon I spotted a notice asking customers to share any intolerances they may have with a member of staff. Seems a dangerous thing to suggest in Ulster…

“Any intolerances we should know about?”
‘Not really, just my social attitudes.’
Restaurant staff love me!

In a restaurant today I was asked ‘do you have any intolerances?’
I so wanted to answer ‘I can’t tolerate The Only Way Is Essex, I hate it when people say ‘well I wasn’t born then’ as a reason for getting history questions wrong and bad dishwasher stacking is inexcusable’.

Customers love to make jokes when I ask them if they have any intolerances like ‘ha ha my wife’ ‘work’ ‘ignorant people’ but the other day a guy looked me dead in the eye and said waitresses

When asked in a restaurant if I have any intolerances I generally say “Yes, but they are largely grammatical”

When the waitress asked if I had any intolerances, I don’t think she was expecting me to say QPR supporters, Tess Daley and Brexit!

When I’m asked by a British waiter “any intolerances,” I want to say being walked through a PowerPoint.

I went into a restaurant this evening and, before showing us to a table, the waiter asked if we had any intolerances. 
“Brexiters.” I said. “Don’t seat us near any of them.”
He didn’t seem to think I was being serious.

“Any intolerances?” asks waitress who has clearly never met me before. Think my smile gave the game away… “Hundreds.”

We went for a meal out last night and the waiter asked if I had any intolerances. I said yes, plenty but not to any food. #restaurant #eatingout

Do you find yourself, when asked by restaurant staff “do you have any intolerances” saying “yes, idiots, Brexit voters and racists.”
