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.
Yes. All the time.
Absolutely. I don't like the taste of something, I just ask for it to be removed or subbed. Including types of nuts.
That smoothie shop btw has 3 smoothies with peanut butter. All of which use it as the base.
Judging by the fact that he ordered it for a 17-year-old teen boy, who love to 'bulk', I'm guessing it was the 800 LB Gorilla. The second ingredient (which means the second most plentiful) is peanut butter. Kid had a death wish.
