[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]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? [/b]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.

My oldest hates peanut butter. He is not allergic, but just HATES it, and will not eat or drink anything with peanut butter in it.

The “no peanut butter” is printed on the receipt because the order taker might not be the drink maker. The onus is on the customer to let people know they are allergic. There is someone allergic to literally every ingredient they sell. They aren’t going to ask every customer that says “no X ingredient” if they are allergic. This is a part of the issue - Dad isn’t an active parent. With a 17 year old deathly allergic to peanuts, it should be a reflex at this point.[/quote]
