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."

Who are you making the joke to?

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".

Possibly something more like "people who have non-imaginary dairy allergies aren't likely to go into an ice cream shop, and even if they do, they obviously won't order without emphasizing their dairy allergy".

It's kind of similar to the Whole Wheat Bakery asking you whether you're OK with gluten. If you aren't, you made a big mistake walking in.

A dairy allergy is perhaps one thing, but it's always great when ice cream places offer non-dairy alternatives. I'm extremely lactose intolerant and it means I can actually get a treat along with my wife/kids.
