| This guy's "child" is a 17 year old. 17! That's the same age as the girls he's calling dumb and ignorant. Every 17 year old with who has dealt with severe, life-threatening peanut allergy would know how to correctly order his beverage. The father is out of touch about how to protect his almost-adult child. |
| To the previous poster defending this guy and talking about fruit cyanide - you are not helping his case. You just look very, very crazy… |

New guess here, peanut allergy parent.
I bet his wife tore him a new ahole for being an idiot. For ordering it in the first place, not ordering in the shop or making some attempt to make sure it was safe. I also bet Dad had no idea where the epipen was. I bet he also delayed injection until his son was passing out. These are all things my ex would do and I could totally see him raging on the teenagers in the shop because he's an abusive, domestic violence- convicted ahole. So after all that he went to express his anger from his wife onto people that couldn't fight back - young immigrant teenagers. He deserves everything coming to him. |

And BTW his story about is done is bullshit. Sure he had a reaction but there is no way you get the smoothie at 1. Call 911 at 1:40 because your son is unconscious and end up back at the smoothie place to berate the staff when it was still light out. When my child had anaphylaxis we were in the ER for hours and then in the PICU. You couldn't pry me from my child's side for hours.
Or he is a terrible parent. 😂 |
| This is going to go on his FINRA registration even if charges are dropped, so I do hope he saved his money. |
You’re joking. I thought he was like 3-5 from everything I read. Dad can’t even pilot the helicopter correctly. |
Completely serious. The 'kid' is 17. |
| This grown ass man, a managing director at ML, actually thought it was a good idea to jump in his car, drive back to the smoothie place to argue with teenage girl. What did he plan to do if the person who made the smoothie was identified? |
17? With that serious an allergy? Why would he not know to never order a fast food smoothie by that age? |

NP. Ok, the guy is an asshat, probably a negligent father who relies on wife for everything related to parental duties and did not specify peanut allergy. But he did say no peanut butter, so why was peanut butter in it? Why isn't anyone talking about that? The girl who did the interview is not 100% sure if peanut butter was added or if there was cross contamination. So, obviously someone made a mistake and shouldn't the smoothie place be responsible for this? His teen could have died.
And to people who think the kids went through trauma because of this incident, you need a thicker hide then. The girls defended themselves quite well and they did not experience trauma. |
| PP here. The kids made a mistake, he made one. But now he is out of a job and that will affect his family. Not condoning his behavior but I kind of feel sorry that people get fired and their life gets ruined over an incident like this. |
This has been discussed over and over on this thread. “I’d like this smoothie, hold the peanut butter” could result in a smoothie made with a blender that had been merely rinsed after making a different smoothie before that did have peanut butter in it. “I’d like this smoothie but it’s for someone with a peanut allergy” results in a brand new clean blender with no chance of cross contamination. |
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. |
I feel sorry for all the other people in this guy’s life that he’s abused who didn’t have time to record it and put it on TikTok. |
+1 I used to work at Merrill and there are a lot of senior employees with similar, awful demeanors. They tend to drive away the nice/sane employees so you end up with a lot of bad eggs |
