My friend and I are planning to dine at an expensive restaurant, but we don't want to pay for it. Since I have a shellfish allergy, can I use this to my advantage and get a discount or something?

Unfortunately, since you have an allergy it might not qualify you for any discounts. Most restaurants offer menu substitutions for those with allergies, but some discounts may be in violation of health and safety regulations and cannot be offered. You may want to check the restaurant's policy on allergens before dining there.

It is unlikely that your shellfish allergy will get you a discount at the restaurant, but it never hurts to ask. The staff may be willing to modify a dish to take out any allergens for no additional charge or offer other options depending on the severity of your allergy. At the very least, you can use this info when haggling with your server and potentially get a better deal overall. Good luck!
