I mean would someone walk in and say "Kale and spinach smoothie, no peanuts" just because they don't like peanuts? Would the store print that request on the receipt as happened here? And if there is some other reason to specify no specific ingredient, should the server ASK if there is an allergy?

I agree that the dad acted badly. But I do not think he should have lost his job. I DO think the kids should lose their jobs. Why the difference? The dad's bad behavior wasn't related to his job at all. If people want to chose another fin adviser they can, but the rate of return his customers get from their investments is not affected by what he did. Nobody can sue Merrill Lynch based on what the dad did. ML is firing him due to the bad publicity.

The kids' mistakes were related to their jobs. There is no question that there was a 911 call from the dad's home about 45 minutes after he bought the smoothie. If the son died, the smoothie store would be facing a wrongful death action. As it is, the son probably has a case for negligence against it.

The fact that the kids' attitude was so cavalier indicates that they had not received sufficient training from their employer about food allergies. That is negligence.

Why should restaurant employees be responsible for someone else's medical problems? With peanut allergies an attack can be set off many different ways. Cross contamination can easily occur in a restaurant facility. At the end of the day it's the parents responsibly to make sure their child only eats food from their home.

He needs to learn about the Magic Bullet!

I do think it’s reasonable for food places to train employees about food allergies / safety. Maybe that is something that can also come out of this situation.

So you raised your kid to let someone rage at her when she didn't actually make a mistake? They made the smoothie as per the request: no peanut butter. Nobody ever mentioned an allergy to them.

Those kids made a mistake, otherwise his kid would not be in the hospital.

The girl said in the interview that she was not sure if someone added peanut butter. Kids are liars and I bet they made a mistake and were covering themselves. He asked for no peanut butter, but he did get peanut butter in it if his son landed up in the hospital after 2 epi-pen shots.

And no, I am not related to him.

you need a psychiatrist if you think it's the kids fault. I hope you don't have children

Too late for that. I already have kids and I don't want them to be arrogant with a don't care attitude like those kids. It is both the kids' and the guy's fault. I don't see why his life has to be ruined while those kids are considered heroes (like the crazy poster above talking above a blue hoodie girl and polling people).

I don't think they're heroes and I don't see why you put so much stock in some site called thetealmango.com. But it's not the job of a bunch of teenagers to manage the anger of a man who storms in and starts screaming and throwing things. I don't have daughters but I absolutely would not raise them to take that kind of abuse from any customer. Nobody needs to be screamed at like that. That is the kind of behavior seen in mental institutions and prisons, not suburban strip malls.

I have no idea what that website is about. I saw the girls interview in an earlier post and am commenting based on that.

Here is the full video where he mentions his kid. He was not asking for their phone, but the telephone number to corporate.

Not please don't f-ing yell at us, or shut up, or shut the F up, etc.


It just starts. "Please don't yell at us".

His calm initial entrance was cropped. The first line is a calm, non-yelling "don't videotape me". Then the "please don't yell at us". The all the swearing from both sides.

Fine. What is not reasonable is too have some agressive cussing lunatic throw food and slurs at them if he is displeased with an item.

Incorrect. Watch it again.

We will never know what *might* have happened if Mr. Ianazzo had acted reasonably, now, will we? I imagine if he had called corporate to complain he probably would have gotten a sincere apology and some free smoothies, which certainly would have been a better outcome for him. Probably the staff would have had to go through some extra training, too.

And I still don't think anyone is portraying them as heroes, but certainly as victims of a very scary torrent of abuse from a clearly unhinged person. The video doesn't lie.

. He was trying to call corporate and even is recorded saying "It's busy".

Not on the video.

Please remember there is some unedited video which will set the record straight. You know where he comes in calmly and it is the teens who start dropping f-bombs, calling names and throwing things at him.

Is this sarcasm? If not, how are you privy to such a tape and please post it to set the record straight.

And, how to you mentally get past the racist statements?

Even though the guy is unhinged I see a father who is acting irrationally because he could have lost his son. That's why I am able to see past the racist statements. He kept asking for the telephone number and these kids goaded him and he went off the deep end.

The girls are reasonably calm until he throws the cup. Even after he calls them "f-ing ignorant high school kids"

The only thing that makes watching that video over and over again bearable is this. I like to imagine I can see him thinking "I am so f-ed" in his eyes.

And? He can't immediately get through to the corporate office and that an excuse for that outrageous behavior? Is this guy 4 or 40?

You are watching the biased version, not the whole tape.

His anger is 100 percent misplaced. He is the one who endangered his own child.

I hope you are not experiencing partner abuse, because the way you keep finding ways to excuse this dangerous and abusive anger is concerning.

And I see a man who has probably been crying because his son could have died, not someone worrying that he is f-ed because of the video.
