After finding an allergen in her food, the owner refused to remake it for free, causing a frustrating delay in her meal. She ended up leaving a 1-star review, but wonders if she was in the wrong.

Allergic reaction at a diner, AITA for giving it 1-star?
A diner customer with severe allergies ordered a gluten-free grilled chicken breast wrap with lettuce, onions, and green peppers. Upon receiving the food, the customer noticed tomatoes, which they are highly allergic to, mixed in with their meal. The customer politely brought it to the attention of the staff, who agreed to remake the food but refused to do so for free. The customer was disappointed with the whole experience and wrote a 1-star review blasting the diner for their treatment. Do you think the diner was justified in charging for the remake? Or was the customer right to leave a negative review? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
