I got really pissed off with the dude, like wanting him to have many bad things come to him... until Ethan got to the bit where he spoke about his son being rushed to the hospital due to the smoothie.. at that point I understand his anger, he did go too far but regardless I would have probably been just as pissed off. Nobody hurts my family. I definitely wouldn't have thrown the smoothie and especially wouldn't have come closer and tried to get behind the counter. But still I understand his anger.

“I regret my actions and they don’t reflect my values and who I am.” Yes they totally do and we all can tell. No matter how angry I’ve ever been, I’ve never said anything even remotely as vile as that, because that’s not reflective of my values. Also, if my child had a deadly allergy, I would never buy him food from a place that even handled that allergen, just because it’s not in the food. Of course there’s a chance of cross-contamination. I won’t even let my kids take things like normal M&Ms, or other Mars company products to school, because they are made in the same factory as Peanut M&Ms, and I would never want to put another child at risk, even slightly (same reason behind why we’re all fully vaccinated and always wear masks). And this happened within 30 minutes of purchase, which means as his son was supposedly dying in the hospital, he was here attacking these teenage girls, instead of with his sick child. He’s disgusting on all fronts.

Even in my case which isn’t nearly as serious 1/4 times when I ask for lactose free milk or one of those alternatives I’ll still get served drinks with normal milk and then spend the next 3 hours on the toilet with brutal cramps.

Just a little info as a smoothie barista for a popular chain, There is two blenders, color coded, one for regular and one for any smoothie with peanut butter that is bright orange. It is assumed if you are removing peanut butter even if they don’t mention the allergy to be extra careful but if you are THAT allergic please make it clear and please be aware that we could do everything right and there still might be a chance for cross contamination as at every location we work at the peanut butter and almonds are left open on the smoothie start table at all times. We can do everything right, use fresh fruit from new containers, sanitizer the blender with a special solution first, but the peanut butter will always be open about 5 feet away. I’m not saying people with allergies should never get smoothies, but I know how easy accidents happen and i’d literally cry myself to sleep everyday if I knew I made someone have a reaction for something out of my control.

If he expressed it was for someone with a peanut allergy they A) probably would have suggested something else to him and B) properly sterilized everything before using it. Instead to them it just was a preference to not have peanut butter in it. So really he’s to blame for his sons allergic reaction. Also his son is 17 I believe so you’re telling me within 17 years you haven’t learned to be thorough and safe when ordering out for your kid?

@@bonnyboy23 there wasn't peanuts in the smoothie. It was only cross contaminated.

[@emmamcadoo2372]

I grew up with a severe peanut allergy, cross contamination was a real issue and something my mom taught me to always be aware of. This guy is not setting a responsible example of how to deal with his allergy... it is too risky to go to smoothie places where they make smoothies peanut butter, not worth the risk. I used to avoid smoothie places altogether because of the risk.... Either way, this guy is handling it terribly; i can understand how he could be frustrated, worried, etc. but this type of reaction serves no purpose and like I said is setting a very bad example for his kid. These workers probably don't have much experience with food allergies, and it is corporates job to educate them, so it is just useless for him to get mad at them.

I think coz he did not specify no peanut due to allergy so employees thought oh he just don't like peanut. So there is some cross contamination or something. Of course I think it is really important to disclose. My uncle has serious onion allergy and always disclose it. Coz cross-contamination is dangerous when allergy is that bad

[@BubblesTonight]

I used to work at Smoothie King and I was lead for 2 years, I have dealt with many men like this. I always said it isn’t worth fighting back unless they threw their smoothie at me like this guy did. Which is where I think this man crossed the line. These smoothie shops to keep the doors open need to sell hundreds of drinks a day, and nearly all of them are completely customized from a single recipe. If you don’t start your order with an allergy note expect that risk, because they have completely different blenders specifically for fruit, tree nut, and peanut allergy. Everything else is made using the same bowls which could have oils and allergens even after wash. Nobody is going to know preference from allergy, you run the risk by not being specific in a fast service industry. If he had covered his bases he easily could have tried to sue but he likely knew the only person who could bully was the low income worker who made it.

Even if they had not actually put peanut butter in the shake, since he did not specify an allergy they were probably using a blender that was potentially cross contaminated with at least one molecule of the allergen from peanut product. When you specify an allergy they are supposed to ensure the tools they use are properly sanitized before they prepare it to prevent the chances of allergens being present on a surface the food comes into contact with. They aren’t liable for this issue. And he even threw his only evidence back at them. He could’ve saved the smoothie and called corporate, and then sued them and claimed he did specify an allergy.

If that’s what it was, I don’t see how the staff would have known it was for someone with a peanut allergy without him explaining that.

Now when we go there the chef makes my brother his own noodles. This is how to handle the situation correctly.

[@Sleepingwei]

I feel like the kid came into contact with the peanuts via cross contamination, meaning the employee did their job by not adding peanuts to the drink and the dad messed up by not specifying there was an allergy, which would require the drink to be made totally separate to anything that has come in contact with peanuts in the past

From the sounds of the story that's exactly it. The dad asked for no pb cause his kid had a nut allergy but didn't specify "hey no pb cause my kid has a nut allergy" if he would have said that then they'd have made it in a separate blender like most if not all smoothie places have just for scenarios where someone with a nut allergy wants a smoothie

[@eliserubio73]

@@LordBaruch EXACTLY! Like I was under the belief that anything other then water is automatically assault. The police in this situation are obviously playing favorites and I hope people advocate for a stronger charge. Blue shirt girl deserves justice

[@jackbross7175]

I worked at Jamba, if you say "X smoothie without peanut butter" any employee can make the smoothie, but if you specify that you have an allergy, no matter the allergy/allergen, a manager or higher ranking employee will make that smoothie with fresh, uncontaminated ingredients from the back and freshly washed, separated utensils.

I can't believe his son went to the hospital and this guy thought "let me go back to that store" No concerned parent would leave their kid just to yell at customer service. I like to imagine his wife gave him hell for basically poisoning his child and he had to punch down so he went back to the store. What an asshole

as someone with a severe nut allergy, this still sort of thing has never happened to me. he was def being careless

[@cassandra6315]

and even if it did, his reaction was uncalled for. if your kid has that severe of an allergy make your own damn smoothie. this place had a sign up to warn people of cross contamination.

[@juhlsghouls]

Yeah I knew people with severe allergies and they don’t even get food from factories/ restaurants with peanuts/tree nuts. Also I think he literally got a peanut butter banana smoothie? Then got mad when it had peanuts in it???

[@seandouglas6769]

Yea same here, if I’m ordering something and it has nuts/pb in it I just order something else. You can’t be too careful, and this guy wasn’t.

[@themanofthefreelife3958]

I’ve had workers put stuff I’m allergic to in my food but I always check it really carefully beforehand . I would’ve been in the guys side if he wasn’t racist and didn’t throw a complete fit.

[@annavictrix]

I’m willing to bet he’s one of those people who says he’s “allergic” because he doesn’t like something.

[@DKF_oli]

If you have a child that has an allergy severe enough that they have to be rushed to the hospital if they come into contact with whatever ingredient, you have to know better than to buy them something from a place that uses that ingredient bc there is ALWAYS a chance of cross contamination.

[@lauren189]

The internet definitely didn’t ruin his life he did he acted that way and they just recorded it, they didn’t spread any false information it’s all because of his own actions and awful behaviour

[@olivias2414]

I feel bad that that happened to his son and to him, but what was he gonna do once he found the person who made the drink? Like really what was his goal? Also even if I was that level of angry I would never insult someone weaponizing race or immigration status. For that to come out of your mouth, that has to be the type of person you truly are

My best friend has a peanut allergy and she NEVER orders anything that originally had peanuts and always specifies she is highly allergic. It’s not worth the risk, even if they don’t put the peanuts in they might use the same equipment with traces left over.

Exactly! Everything was his fault.

[@valsd5186]

Allergies are very real & I understand the concern but if you are that concerned maybe practice a healthier lifestyle & make your own smoothies. That child’s life isn’t worth a single grain of rice more than that young girl’s life. Good for her & hopefully other companies like Merrill Lynch take note.

[@deftones8717]

Right? Him, as a father, should be extremely clear and specify his child’s allergy, rather than just simply saying “no peanut butter”. You can’t just assume that these teenage girls will somehow know the seriousness of getting the order wrong. You can’t rely on ANY fast food joint to get your order right 😂 so you definitely have to be hyper vigilant and specify that you have a serious allergy. Either way, it wasn’t intentional! This guy is a serious threat to the public, with that level of rage. He’s clearly mentally unstable

As someone whos worked the service industry theres procedures we have to take based on what the customer tells us. "No peanuts" is a prefrance, so that means we wont clean our utensils or change gloves. "I have a peanut allergy-" This means we wash EVERYTHING and change gloves. He never told them of the allergy so he whole heartedly deserved what he got, not his son tho but his dad did not specify. I feel like this is a thing of cross contamination.
