There's a certain wealthy area near me where restaurants ask first if you have allergies, and ice cream shops ask if dairy is ok. My wife and I always joke, "we're in that part of town."

These jokes are always of the form "we are in a superior group who know things those outside the group don't".

In this case: "allergies and intolerances are made up stuff for weaklings, haha".

In this case, the joke is that someone with a dairy allergy could somehow buy and eat ice-cream without knowing it contained dairy.

It's just a completely ridiculous thing to check. Like warning that the boiled peanuts contain peanuts, or that a pencil sharpener should not have fingers inserted into it.
