Annals Of Employment In The Information Age

Well, yeah, but change the facts, change the outcome:
James Iannazzo ordered a smoothie from a Robeks outlet in Connecticut on Saturday for his son, who has a peanut allergy. He asked for the drink to not contain peanut butter, but he did not mention the allergy, the Fairfield Police Department wrote in a statement.

If my daughter had a peanut allergy, I'd make damned sure I made it clear peanuts were verboten, especially if the allergy was severe enough:

But for those with severe allergies, using a spoon or pitcher that touched peanut butter can be deadly. Typically when food service workers are told that there is a severe allergy, additional measures are taken.

This is why so many foods carry labels about being processed in a facility where nuts are processed. The allergy can be that severe. Placing an order that includes “No peanut butter” is not exactly conveying concern for someone’s health and safety.  I think this man’s reaction is more about displacing guilt and responsibility than it is about "f****** stupid, f****** ignorant high school kids" ignoring an allergy instruction that wasn’t given.

Damned stupid way to lose your job, though.
