[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9047890, member: 6779310"] I have. The owner works for the fire department part time. The sign's not up anymore, but still, asking before diving in is more than just good etiquette; it can prevent medical emergencies. Epi shots are expensive. As far as schools... while teaching, I had a class where child A had severe peanut allergy, B & C milder ones... Student D had a PB&J for breakfast... and sitting in the same tablegroup as A&C, triggered asthma in A, and made B nauseus across the aisle. A & B went to the nurse, lost half a day. Hardly... but then again, it helps that the local convention I've gone to most has a zero outside food/drink policy. It's one I've only had to mention at AL twice, maybe thrice. "No gooey hands near my books and bits, thank-you." Worst offender was in a home game. I don't have the choice. If I can smell the perfume from double arm's length, my breathing usually is compromised within single digit minutes. I've had to abandon dinner plans because a server was wearing a rose-oil based perfume and no other server was available. Wheezing is unhelpful to both dining and GMing. I've seen convention staff refuse entry to someone who was heavily perfumed. As in, sufficiently perfumed as to be smelled through masks at 10'. I have, occasionally, noted my perfume allergies on the blurb. Doesn't hurt that I live near the left coast. Not at convention games. At games at store... given the 18:00 start and 22:00 end, it was not uncommon to have a roughly 20:00 centered 5-10 min break. No one currently playing in my store game has a nicotine addiction.
