[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: why would someone specify "no peanuts" in a smoothie UNLESS the drink was for someone with allergies? 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.

Finally, another person who is reasonable. I cannot believe the herd mentality here making someone out to be complete villain and justifying the teens' actions. I really wish that dad had not thrown the smoothie and sent it for testing instead. The smoothie store would have received some bad publicity, which they deserve. If I ask for something with no peanut butter, it means exactly that. I don't care how you contaminated it, and that smoothie place is responsible. Those kids were so dismissive. Maybe a lawyer can chime in and say if the son has a case against that place (after all he was taken by ambulance to the hospital and there is proof that his smoothie was contaminated based on the girls video interview and the father throwing a tantrum)

ML fired him for bad publicity and the smoothie place is backing these kids because media is portraying them as heroes.

You’re an idiot if you go to Robek’s with a peanut allergy! There are some places that are not safe.[/quote]
