A restaurant boss has included a ‘hipster allergies’ surcharge on his menu after becoming fed up of people asking for slot gacor 777 gluten-free food but then drinking beer.
Satya Chai Lounge owner Samrudh Akuthota says his Auckland customers would regularly claim they suffered from the coeliac disease before downing gluten-rich ales.
And now the manager has added a line into the menu, which reads: ‘$5 surcharge for Hipster allergies’.
The restaurant included a $5 surcharge on the menu for anybody who would like gluten-free or vegan alternates to his dishes
Satya Chai Lounge owner Samrudh Akuthota (pictured) claims he frequently gets customers in his Auckland store that claim to be coeliac but will happily drink gluten-rich beers
His menu also offers cans of VB for $40 each, but he says he’s never actually charged someone that amount.
Similarly, nobody would actually be charged the $5 for their food preferences.
Instead, he said the inclusion was to hopefully create an open dialogue about how serious a person’s allergy is.
‘We want to cater to authenticity. We will bend over backwards to look after people who have serious dietary requirements.
‘One of our struggles is gluten-free. Over 60 per cent of our menu can be made vegan, which is one of the trendiest things now, we can cater to that.
‘We can’t always cater to gluten-free,’ he told the .
‘We want to cater to authenticity. We will bend over backwards to look after people who have serious dietary requirements,’ the business claimed
The Indian restaurant is widely considered one of the best in Auckland. The restaurateur now claims the line was included as a joke to see which of his customers have a sense of humour
‘The frustrating thing is we have people say ‘we’re coeliac, wheat will kill me’ but we offer them a gluten-free beer option and they say ‘no, beer doesn’t count’. They take the piss.’
Similarly, Mr Akuthota said he’s rushed to the aide of a customer before when he saw them put fried chicken in their mouth after they made a fuss about needing gluten-free options.
But he said in that instance, the customer again turned around and said ‘it’s okay it won’t kill me’.
‘The hipster allergy was really put on there as a joke. We’ve never charged that and we never will.
‘It’s more a case of saying if you’re going to be hipster and trendy by being vegan or gluten-free please tell us how serious it is. If it is going to be life-threatening, we will do our best to look after you.’
