While on vacation, my brother, Mom, and I stopped at a small pizza/ice cream place that we had gone to last year. From what we had seen, they had decent food for a vacation town.

We ordered a cheese pizza and fries. It was busy, so we had to wait probably around 25 minutes. We got our food and went off to eat. I opened the bag of fries. They were

Thats dangerous. They could get sued bigtime. What if you had eaten them and had a severe reaction? They would have been stuck with a HUGE bill.

I would talk this place down on Yelp et.

Seconding this.

I'm allergic to tree nuts and luckily, I've never had an issue with hidden nuts before. I think there was one time that I ordered something with nuts but that was my family's fault since we ordered a pizza with pine nuts and didn't think until after that maybe I was allergic to pine nuts too.

I would also highly suggest you lodge a complaint with the manager or owner. If it's a chain, go to corporate. This is seriously not something that should be taken lightly.

Sorry your vacation dining sucked so much.

I always forget pine nuts are acually nuts. For some reason I think of them more as seeds.

It was probably a delicious way to end up in the ER though.

This, cause they do look seedish to me, kind of like shelled sunflower/pumpkiny type seeds. I forget they're nuts too when looking at them, but I'd sure as heck know when using them in food myself. Or if asked about them.

Regarding the first story, I would have asked to see a manager because that's completely unacceptable. If you remember the name of the place maybe write a letter/phone in to complain because just ugh gross :(

What the hell? The fries were bad enough, but mixing the walnuts in? Who does that? Hello, lawsuit!

[fluteaphrael]

Hello call to the cops. If the place doesn't usually mix them in that is, that's a deliberate action. Where's Jack McCoy when you need him.

I got no Law and Order icons, have my favourite Feeb instead.

I actually don't know if it's standard procedure for them to mix them in or not. It's possible it was frozen beforehand or something, but I really doubt it. I got pissed off because I specifically told him about my allergy, and I really could've had a severe reaction if I had eaten them.

But, like I said, the line was a mile long and I was run down, so I didn't want to push my way through the line to address it. But I'm going to call the place and maybe get the douchebag fired. I'm not sure about the cops, since he seemed to be a teenager and maybe was just a dumbass, but I'll have to see where it goes.

Yeh the worker needs it to be made absofreakinglutely beyond crystal clear you don't juke around with anyone who says ALLERGY because you can KILL someone. It's not funny, it's not a game, and they can open up the business to being owned by the customer via lawsuit.

Doesn't matter how many people say allergy and don't mean it. That word has to be sacrosanct as far as food service goes. People die over allergies.

And in an ice cream shop that means things like teaching the workers to wash scoops in hot water, change gloves, etc. If they are serving someone who has a nut allergy and they have nut products. OR telling the customer we're sorry we can't serve as we have too much cross contamination here as we make our own ice cream and it's all done in batches on the same equipment.

But I can't imagine that it was mixed in, as most places that have nut things, the name of it says so (to borrow from DQ) the Peanut Buster Parfait, etc. Walnut supreme ice cream, etc.

You're not the first person to have been lied to. I've had it happen, too, and I hate it. Especially when I ask ahead of time if something has x allergen, get told yes, eat it, THEN find out that indeed, there's something in it I'm allergic to.

Stuff like that is dangerous. What if a customer died because of that kind of negligence?

[sephystabbity]

Wow, that's crazy, them lying to you about the nuts? I'd have gone apeshit on them if that was me. Thank god you found out before you actually drank it =(
