James's son got two epipen injections and still fell unconscious, so they called 911 and he was hospitalized. Many of these posters aren't reading. It was after the stabilization at the hospital that he went back to the store to ask who made the smoothie, to speak to a manager, to get corporate's number, to use the phone, etc. I am not condoning his behavior, but many posters are straight up LYING about him complaining before getting care for his son, saying he doesn't believe an allergy exists while owning TWO epipens, etc. Say what you want about his consequences, but please don't lie about the facts to fit your narrative. Also, please don't be racist yourself when implying Italians aren't allowed to be xenophobic, only the English are. Please don't leave out the employee calling him a piece of $h1t as well and no in anyway addressing a life-or-death situation. Information is important had there been fruit cyanide, etc in it as well. There was an incident years ago another place when a whole bunch of young children dies from yucca cookies that were ill-prepared. Fairfield deserves to know what kind of experience they would get.

Sorry you married an asshat. We can't help you.

(And those children died in the Philippines, not from Robek in CT)

Right now, there are M.Lynch employees who are doing a happy dance and are supremely joyful that this POS has been fired!!

But he ordered a smoothie that has peanut butter in it and said hold the PB.....

Facepalm. My DC1 has a peanut reading of 85 and hold the PB means NOTHING. I bet this guy has never been to any allergist appointments and has no clue how to protect his son. They DID hold the PB, he didn't say anything about a deadly allergy or instruct them to use different utensils. I don't expect restaurant workers to read my mind. And again, his son was in the hospital for hours, so instead of spending time with him, he goes back to harass the workers. I bet it's his wife's job to stay with the kid in the hospital. Of course.

My friend's son is allergic to peanuts and they even bought their own cooking oil to my house when they stayed over because they did not want to inconvenience me about not using peanut oil. That is the level of care that needs to go in.

My DC has friends who are peanut allegic and I am not allowed to give him PBJ sandwich because he eats at the same table as them. My DC is scared that there can be cross contamination. Do we all remember the girl who died because her BF kissed her after having had a PBJ sandwich?

Father was very negligent but he wanted to push the blame on these girls. And trying to break open the door where these girls were huddled? That is psycho behavior. What would have happened if he had come in where the girls were? Would he have hit them? Raped them? Killed them? What was his rationale for doing what he did?

I can even understand throwing the drink down, or throwing the drink on the girl to some extent, BUT, trying to break down the door to the area where the girls were standing was very scary. Dig deep into this man. My guess is that he has done some terrible things to people. This kind of aggression is of a person who has got away doing this to others.

Wow, a teen kid. He can make his own smoothie.

Apparently the son that was hospitalized is the same age as the girls he accosted in the smoothie shop.

I bet his son would never have to get a job in high school but if he had - he'd be furious at someone throwing a drinking at him and calling him a stupid immigrant loser.

Just terrible.

You know it’s not the first time he’s done something like this. Nobody just suddenly becomes a raging a-hole like that “this one time”

He’s a crap parent for thinking a smoothie where he only specified to “hold the peanut butter” was safe for his child to eat. He’s a crap parent for not checking the smoothie himself. He’s a crap human being for coming back to scream at a bunch of teenagers and he’s a major POS for throwing shit and using terrible language. I’m happy he got fired and his life is ruined.

Clearly you’re a friend of his here on his behalf to attempt to defend him.

He’s an a$$. You are condoning him. Stop. It’s not a good look.

He's been fired and charged with a hate crime.

I haven't seen a single post in 17 pages from a parent to a kid with a nut allergy who hasn't laid blame on the dad, and for good reason.

They’re mostly meatheads who couldn’t handle harder courses of study so they shuffle money from one pot to another and are ridiculously well compensated for doing so.

I think this guys is the scum of the world but I appreciate your savvy insights into wealth management. I’m an advisor without a MBA from Harvard or a silt
Overpriced degree. I went to a small private college but and made 1.4M last year as a 36yo. I guess I may not be as intelligent as you but I’m smart enough to have my family and kids set for life.

Do I deserve to make this money, heck no, the industry is lucrative (as are many other industry’s). Do I work very hard and have a load of stress and anxiety, you bet. All my friends in more prestigious “banking jobs” are envious of the time I’m able to devote to my family and would give their left arm to switch jobs. Glad you see it once sided.

I'm not the PP, but .... you kind of proved PP's point. Really, you make that kind of money for being a wealth manager? My understanding is that the wealth managers don't invest money, never quite understood what they actually did, but didn't realize they made so much money. My guy at fidelity just seems to answer my general questions and then turfs out anything more complicated to others at Fidelity. What is your cause of anxiety or stress at the job-- since you want people to not have the one sided view of wealth managers? Anyhow, kudos to you for landing a well paid job that doesn't require too much brain power or time commitment (per your comments).

Fundamentally the job is a sales job. He has to sell his clients (everyone from doctors, to firefighters, to small business owners, and plumbers), that HE has their interest in heart, that he will grow their money better than a Vanguard account. People die or switch to index funds all the time, so you have to keep finding clients, so put together free “seminars” on how to invest in tech stocks in 2022 or whatever trendy buzz word will get rubes with money in the door. Sure they are meatheads, but most sales guys are meathead athletes and make tons of money. Just how the world works. I think Merrill is not fee-only but commission based, so on top of selling yourself you have to sell your companies promoted dogsheet, I mean dog food, an you get multiples on your commission for that. Also have to keep the runes trading and moving money to get paid, they can’t just set it to S&P and let it ride, as you will wither commissions AND they will wonder why they pay you.

And then days like Friday happen, and you have calls from angry clients wondering why you didn’t see it coming, they want their money out, etc. so you need to think fast as to why your investing acumen was blindsided.

Reading this goes to show me you either:

1. don’t have a lot of money
2. Have no idea how financial advisor relationship works/compensation
3. Have been screwed over by a slime bag
4. Don’t realize that many advisors don’t sell themselves out to beat the market. If you work with someone who promises or says that, run. Our services run deeper than buying some ETFs.

I have to just laugh at this type of egomaniacs.

Why don’t you tell us what you exactly do rather than just what you don’t do? Since you came out swinging insults, I guess I touched a nerve, sorry I was just explaining to PP why someone without much academic pedigree or actual market prowess could command such rates. Perhaps there is a service I am ignorant of, because no matter how many $Ms we have, I know I will never engage a wealth manager so I am curious.

Some of our offerings, included in our fee: drafting any estate planning documents (all types of trusts, wills, medical directives, etc), tax prep/planning with CPAs, we have an in house therapist for clients, lending solutions (investment credit lines, mortgages, m&a financing, etc) via our private bank network, and the basic other stuff you’d expect ( SS experts, Medicare/insurance experts, etc)

My day to day is essentially acting as the CEO of the reaction ship. Our research team does 95% of the investments.

Every wealthy person I know (let’s say 10M+ investable) works with an advisor.. for the mass affluent with a million or two, an advisor might not be worth it.

I asked an honest question, you don’t have to punk me. A therapist?

Retirement isn't all about numbers...most successful people struggle a lot with identity in retirement and finding purpose. That's why we hired the therapist. Shes a professional in that space; not me or my team.

Of course he's angry with himself -but instead of managing it in a healthy and productive way he felt entitled to a racist, abusive tirade against a bunch of kids. He's a class A *sshole.
