Hey hey. I don't think Lifesaver said he was going to sue anyone did he? I thought he was just pissed at this point? So lets not piss him on some more by telling him he doesn't have the case he didn't ask about.
I agree that lifesaver should have made it clear that he had an allergy, if only for his own safety.
I also agree that the waitress should have said something simple like: "oh, there are almonds in the crust do you still want it?"
I mean thats not so hard right? Putting an ingredient in the food that you don't like the taste of is big deal also isn't it?
I mean lets say I really don't like the taste of mushrooms. I am not going to want that on the food, cooked in the food, or in the crust of the food. Thats going to spoil my meal. I am not going to eat it.
In fact I have had meals comped when they did that even though i offered to pay (once they took the gobsmacked mushrooms off it).
Now with a food allergy once you taste it its too late. It more than ruins your meal.
As far as why he posted here and then went to the ER . . . Food allergies can take up to 45 minutes or so to kick in depending on the severity of the allergy and other factors.
They can also take a while for all the symptoms to be fully realized.
Not all allergies are immediately life threatening in nature, but you kind of never know if the next attack will be.
Anyway. Call corporate. If nothing else there is a serious failure of customer service.
