I sympathize with the customer. He went back spurred by the fear of his son's allergic reaction which made him angry. Instead of producing the manager, they immediately start mouthing off and take no responsibility for ignoring his request to omit an ingredient. REGARDLESS of the reason, they eff'd up, and THEN gave the CUSTOMER the business, escalating the situation.


yes instead of asking for a manager or complaining to corporate he berated teenagers who make minimum wage and assaulting hem totally the logical way of handling that situation .

If your son is such a ***** can't eat peanuts but then he goes in order a Peanut Butter smoothie what kind of sense does that make?

If you owned a fast food joint, are those the kind of employees you'd hire? If so, you'd be out of biz pretty darn quick.

The guy was wrong for assaulting them and he's paying the price, but those employees are dummies who should be fired.

Just saw tv play the video and showed he ordered a peanut smoothie and hold the peanut butter. WTF??

That's bad parenting and potential child abuse. CPS should investigate.

Agreed who fires them? HIm or the company all you can do is make your compliant possibly come to some resolution look what acting like a dumbass has cost him all over a smoothie.

You saw a video of him ask for a peanut butter smoothie and hold the peanut butter? I don't believe you.

Not even I would order that for my kid.

You seem to have pretty high expectations for high school aged girls and how they should answer the ragey moron.

It wasn't racist and he was over-charged. He won't be convicted of a felony

I watched a news video which included his yelling and throwing and it included an interview with an employee saying he ordered a peanut smoothie but without peanut butter.

Terrible parent to try and injure their child.

Connecticut….A trailer park size state occupied by a high number of useless democrat voters. Nothing surprising here.

As a person who travels and is responsible for a minor with a nut allergy often - no chance in hell I would take him to a place like this or any other with nuts all over (think: sonic, Dairy Queen, etc).

Eat out? Sure all the time, but normally can eat anywhere and only issue is limited number of desserts. When it's questionable always very clear he has a "deadly allergy" and usually just make a stop at subway or McDonald's.

This dad is a tool for a multitude of reasons.

Edit: By the way, every kid with a food allergy is not a product of some overly sanitized environment. Lol, makes me laugh when I think of how he grew up. If anything I think a lot of kids have a minor allergy and due to potential unknown severity (changes as they get older, quantity of nuts eaten, etc) docs are just very careful and advise people to avoid completely.

11 blue stars for bragging about wanting to hospitalize a teenage girl. This board truly is a mental asylum.

Dad is a dumb***. If your kid has a deadly allergy, you better be checking the food. I do.

Trust no one. Especially a fast food worker.




Are you planning to taste test things for life? Maybe your child is still quite young... and I admire your protective instinct, but at some point you may want to consider teaching.

Not trying to personally attack you, just have experience with similar situation that turned into full helicopter parent, with child that is now struggling to survive on there own.
