Man Ruins His Life Over A Smoothie

This guy could've probably gotten so much money out of the company, looked like a poor victim, and gotten the employee fired and on the spotlight. Instead he got himself fired and in jail, what a fucking genius.

You might not believe me, but a man ruined his life over a cupcake once!

The person I feel really bad for is the son. He gets fed a peanut butter drink with a peanut butter allergy, gets sent to the hospital, then his dad gets arrested and sent to prison

the father being upset and wanting some kind of formal apology, maybe even legal action is totally reasonable. assaulting the staff is completely unreasonable.

Imagine how his son must feel. He was just hospitalized and prolly got out to his dad being in jail lol

"This guy was making big money, he wasnt making peanuts" Thats a horrible joke...and I laughed at it lmao

Emotions being uncontrollable isn't an excuse for behaviour to be uncontrollable. This is why it's important to teach people how to handle and respond to their emotions in safe and productive ways. If he really needed to get that anger out, he could have gone and sat in his car and screamed at no one. There was no excuse to go in there and harass teenagers.

With that big man job he could have hired an amazing lawyer and got so much from the company. But no, he thought “ah yes, the perfect excuse to be racist and verbally abuse teenagers”

The literal best advice he could've gotten, call corporate. His son survived, he has money, he could've bought epipens, sued the business, make smoothies at home from thereon, get a news article made about it, get a movie made out of it and have Patton Oswalt play your character.

One of the rare times where it makes sense to demand to speak with the manager, and he instead wants to find the person who made the smoothie, lmao

imagine trying to physically assault and threaten 4 young girls over a smoothie when you could've just sued the company. dude even went to the employee only door to try to kick it down like he was the terminator. what a psychopath

I had a vegan restaurant that wouldn't even serve me because of all the cross contamination with almonds in their kitchen (almond milk, almond butter, frying stuff in peanut oil, etc). Now imagine if I'd never mentioned my allergy to them or the severity and had just said "no nuts", then came back in there actin a complete ass because I expected strangers to look out for my health better than I could be bothered to look out for my own 🤦🏾‍♀️

He could just stay with his son and sue the business,but he literally chose the worst route. Imagine being his son and seeing your father get arrested and lose his job right after you get out of the hospital.

what bothers me is how he acknowledges that theyre just highschool kids and then continues to do what he does. i bet hes lovely at home.

I worked at Dairy Queen for 3 years and we use the same blender for everything and if someone said no peanut butter we wouldn’t put peanuts in it. But if they say allergy we use a whole different blender put on gloves and keep it totally separate. That’s the customer’s responsibility to say. I don’t know if he would’ve won a lawsuit because everything says may contain nuts so that your safe from a lawsuit if the customer fails to tell you. Almost every food business says that to make sure the customer understands they are putting themselves at risk. He is the one responsible for informing the restaurant as I feel any good parent would. This guy is just a horrible person

I feel for the girls. Even though he is justified in his emotions, he went way further than he should've, and it must've been fucking terrifying dealing with him

Sucks that the dude went nutty instead of just staying with his kid and suing the place.

He had a right to be upset, but he handled that in the worst way possible.

Another thing to be aware of is that pretty much everywhere you go you're gonna get some kind of cross contamination so if his son had that bad of an allergy he should have known to ask about how they prepare there smoothies. His sons health is no one's responsibility but his. If he'd told them he was getting the smoothie for someone with an allergy and they still used contaminated utensils then he has a case against them. But if all he said was no peanut butter, it's on him.

The people making the smoothie probably thought it was just an omission to reduce calories. As someone who made smoothies for a few years, the caloric value of pb was the most common reason to omit it from orders, not allergies.
