This is a wonderful monologue!  Though it is true, it is imparted with a
touch of humour.  That can go a long way.
Thank you,

"Mr. Manager, please note that I am severely allergic to the following [...]
That means that if one of those ingredients as much as *touches* the food
that I ordered, I will have a serious allergic reaction. I will vomit and,
in the worst case, my throat may constrict, preventing me from breathing,
which means there's a chance of me dying before the ambulance arrives. I am
not sure that the other patrons are knowledgeable enough to discern an
allergic reaction from a case of food poisoning.

"I would really appreciate it if you will personally make sure that I can
continue to enjoy your establishment without risking my life and scaring
your other customers away.

"Thank you."
