Even with an epi pen, many folks like myself still require a trip to the ER, the epi pen just gets us there before the windpipe closes.

i'm not allergic to peanut butter but shellfood. it's usually avoidable, so i don't carry an epipen. i do a fair amount of conferences on SPI, and i don't ever want to be the a-hole that keeps people from enjoying seafood, so i go, and am really specific about about making sure my steak is cooked separately and why. been going for years and never had an issue.

one time, they didn't do it and i had a major reaction in front of a customer and had to go to the bathroom. only choice was to purge. not an awesome event to have happen while out with customers, and i had to apologize to my fellow bathroom goers for what was about to happen.

i'm not the type to cause a scene, ask for the manager, sue, or ask for anything free ever, but i did ask the manager when he came to check on me to see if it was noted on my order and it was not and they comped my whole party's meal. not ever what i want, but they offered it up. mistakes happen for sure and i don't begrudge people that mistake, but allergens in food service isn't something to take lightly.

obviously the dude overreacted here, but it's one of those "can't agree with your actions... but i get it" moments.

Idiotic take. The guy even admits he mentioned nothing about any peanut allergy. Just no peanut butter in the smoothy.

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.

Especially in 2022

Even though minimum wage workers are now making $20/hr, they're less competent than ever before.

I would not place my kid's life in their hands.

If your child has an anaphylactic allergy, don't trust fast food workers. Make your own smoothie.

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

This. The burden is on the father, not the rest of the world. Don't eat fast food, and you don't have to worry about teenaged girls making a mistake regarding Aydn's health.

The female that was confronting him should be fired. You don't get to curse out an ill mannered customer. Give the guy the info and be done with it.

I wonder what this guy would do if his daughter got a job at Smoothie King and accidentally put peanut butter in some kids smoothie. Would he beat his own daughter when she came home from work?

It's funny how people who believe in retaliatory violence never consider the possibility that other people have friends and family members who might be willing to play along.

Thst name is not nearly unique enough. More like Jeighdalhyn.

Charli Hill, 17, said she was called to come in early on Saturday because their store was busy and hadn't interacted with Iannazzo when he first arrived. From what she knew, he had asked for a "peanut power plus" smoothie without nuts but did not inform anyone of an allergy.

If it's true he ordered a "peanut power plus" smoothie, it just would take a bizarre story on an even more bizarre turn.

So you have to tell them to not put peanut butter in a smoothie that is not supposed to have peanut butter in it?

Im surprised that a person who advocates gunning down trespassers and thieves would not see Justification for punishing this employee.

How is this racist? Did he say something beyond immigrant?

A lot of people see this as "protecting your family". I think it's misguided at the least. Especially after the fact. But, some people would liken confronting the employee to stepping between a gunman and your child. Thus11 people staring it. Not the majority, but several parents see it that way. I think the overacting comes from idolizing your children. I guarantee you, I have a family member that I know would have killed someone over this, but idolizing your kids is a topic for another thread.

I personally think the guy handled the whole situation wrong. Go into a scenario where you are outnumbered by 4 to 1 by kids and start cussing. That's stupid. They're not going to hear a thing you say and they're going to rally around each other and never admit guilt.

And for the young woman, she escalated the situation as well. What the hell was she thinking!? If this guy was mental, was "calling the cops" going to keep this guy from breaking her in half!? She should have tried to de-escalate the situation, not continued to profanities and tell the man to shut up.

Orders a peanut power drink hold the peanuts for his snowflake, threatens teenage girls when it has peanuts.

Father-of-the-Year. Give it to him!!

I thought they said in the video they have no way of knowing who made the shake? Now they not only know who made it, but exactly what the customer ordered?

His last name makes the whole racist/xenophobe angle funnier. A lot of Italian-Americans (like my dad) still identify pretty closely with the immigrant roots of their grandparents and extended relatives.

Racist is a good default. I mean, you're more likely to find a racist who is a bigot and/or xenophobe than not. It's lazy, sure, but it's more than likely going to fit the person anyway.

In no way am I defending the Dad actions, but how is simply calling someone an immigrant racist? If he made a demeaning generalization about all immigrants and directed at this individual, I could certainly see your point but unless I missed something he simply said immigrant and others are adding context to make it racist. Racially insensitive, sure, but not racist. Just like calling someone white, black or brown isn't.

Maybe some upfront accountability and a manager stepping in to deescalate the situation would have calmed this down before it got to that point. Neither side is without blame.

What kind of "punishment" do Whataburger employees face for accidentally putting tomatoes on a burger that was ordered as hold the tomatoes? I'm sure it's pretty stiff.

Obviously it was supposed to have peanut butter in it, since the father went out of his way to say that he DIDN'T tell the employees of the smoothie place to NOT put peanut butter in the drink. If he ordered it as is, that's on him.

At some point, personal responsibility comes in to play. Funny how you keep failing to see that.

ETA: What dumbass orders a "peanut power plus" smoothie for his kid with a peanut allergy? Do you force feed him peanuts at the ball game too?

Does the employee look like they immigrated from Sweden, Germany, Canada, or England? Or some place where the people aren't melanin challenged?

No one knows what's in someone's heart, but people say a lot with the little they say.

And not saying he's a racist, just wondering why he chose that specific word to use.

The punishment for getting a food order wrong is no tip, and maybe listening to some self-entitled rant. That's it.

But good luck to everyone plotting out their medmal suits against the teenager who glanced at the ingredient list for the #43 smoothie - which is made in the exact same mixer as the no-nuts smoothies.

as someone else pointed out, his remarks would be more xenophobic than anything else but go right ahead, it's easier to just say everything else is racist

Your last paragraph is pure speculation.

How did Peanutdad know the girl was an immigrant? Does Robek have name tags like DisneyWorld with your place of origin under your name?

How do you know his anger is only directed towards non white immigrants? Maybe he isn't a fan of all immigrants? It was a short video where we aren't shown everything that lead up to the altercation. If you always expect racism, you will always find it, even if the intent might not be there. But as I said, I'm not defending the Dad just tired of the baseless accusations of racism even when it isn't applicable

In Louis CK's case, the allergy turned out be to his nuts.

Like I said, if he'd say the same thing to someone who was white, and just immigrated from England, then yes, xenophobic would fit. If he wouldn't have, then it's that next level of hatred. That is assuming that he even knew of the employee was an immigrant, or just an American as much as him, but looked nothing like him. Who knows, but he's definitely got issues with some people.
