Poll: Should restaurants be required to cater for food allergies?

A popular Indian street food restaurant has come under fire online for its $5 surcharge for "hipster allergies". 

An image of a menu from Satya Chai Lounge on K Road was posted to the New Zealand Reddit thread by Auckland-based user 'hsmithakl'.

"I approve of the $5 Hipster Allergies surcharge [at] Satya Chai Lounge," they captioned the image. 

The menu reads: "Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary needs, we will do our best to look after you, but we cannot guarantee traces of allergens will not be there," in bold print. 

The note is fairly at odds with its following addendum: "$5 surcharge for hipster allergies".
