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."

Pretty common expectation in many countries. I was surprised to see this is not normally a thing in the US, given how we're led to believe how much you guys love to sue each other.

I don't have experience in many countries, but e.g. in Germany, while everything is labeled according to law, I have never heard anyone asking. I think the persons with allergies know this well themselves.
