Today, I got a client who ordered ice cream. She seemed really nice and I thought maybe she was into me. When I asked if she wanted peanuts for an additional 50 cents, she said no. Trying to be nice, I added them anyway free of charge. I later had to call the ambulance. She was allergic. FML

Stop forcing your nuts on women and we won't have this problem, hm?

Wow... Just wow. I'm glad I've never come to your stand looking nice, because then I'm scared to think what my order would look like.

I used to work at Coldstone, and customers were supposed to inform the employees of a food allergy. Our policy is to tell the customer that we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, but that we will do our best. What I don't understand is why she didn't say something about her allergy, especially when the guy asked her if she wanted peanuts. Peanut allergies can be deadly, and there is a risk of contamination if you don't take extra precautions. However, that doesn't make this her fault. If a customer says they don't want nuts, then they don't want them. You don't give them nuts anyway, moron. People keep mentioning in the comments that she should have noticed the nuts. Now, if they were sprinkled on top and she missed them, then that is stupidity on her part. But if the nuts were mixed in, they might not be visible at first.

Well she could have said she was allergic but you still should have charged her 50 cents

You idiot. She cleary said she didn't want them for a reason. Your lucky, she could have been majorly injured. Next time, give them what they actually want....

YDI. I hope you got fired. And next time you order ice cream, I hope someone puts something that you don't want or like in it.

Dude, that was just plain stupid. If she said she didn't want any, did it ever just occur to you she didn't want any peanuts? maybe if she had said she didnt have enough money left for peanuts er sumn, and you gave them to her, that'd be nice. But what you did was just presumptuous.

Now you know the reason food manufacturers place a label saying "Product may contain peanuts" on everything made in a factory that may have had a peanut in it within the last decade. While your gesture was certainly kind, know that kindness must be tempered with wisdom. As the saying goes, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

i call fake on this one. she said no obviously because she was allergic, but when she saw the peanuts on there, she ate them anyways? no she would have asked for new ice cream.

well she said she didn't WANT peanuts so she would probably have just thought it was something else.

As others have said, some places mix the nuts into the ice cream so they aren't exactly in your face and you don't end up with a mouth full of nuts. ... Comment over now.

It's also possible she was talking to somebody or was distracted in some other way and wasn't looking directly at her ice cream when she took a bite of it. I don't know about you but personally I don't examine my food to make sure nothing extra was added. I just assume that if I say I don't want it that it won't be on my food.

Anyone over the age of 17 that works in a fast food restaurant doesn't want to make your sandwich the first time, let alone again. You obviously aren't very nice about it, either. Mistakes happen when people are expected to make about 60 sandwiches per hour. If the people are willing to quickly correct their simple mistake, then you should at least TRY not to be an unsympathetic jerk about it. And OP, I hope you'll learn to listen more in the future.

Wow. Excuse you. If I'm obviously not very nice about it, then you are obviously one of the people who thinks you've changed the whole world for the better when you correct the mistake you shouldn't have made in the first place. Obviously.

I guess I could understand that... Except when it is your JOB that PAYS you to do something like make a sandwich correctly, neither the customer nor the manager/boss will give two ***** if you "didn't want to make it the first time" Also, most people are usually, if not nice, then at least polite about having it... But honestly, it's not that hard. If a customer orders some insanely difficult order, then sure, that's understandable, but most of the time it's something simple like "no mustard" or "large coke instead of medium". Stuff that is printed on the receipt that you can read. Anyway, long-winded rant short, hush. If you don't want to make it a second time? Make sure it's made correctly the first time, or find a new job.

I agree, its so annoying! Like seriously, its not like I said "No cheese" the first time and then I come back and say "uh, why didn't you give me cheese?" NO! Its not that ******* hard, you just don't put cheese on it, simple as that. I don't like anything on my hamburgers except ketchup, so I say plain, just ketchup. I've had them give me the normal burger, all the toppings, I've had them give me everything EXCEPT ketchup, I've had them give me no cheese, I've had them give me just lettuce, its insane! Its not that ******* hard and its your JOB to give me what I ordered. Not something else.

Peppermint Patty and Marcie are a lesbian couple. Charlie Brown DOES need the pussy. Lucy is constantly offering it to him and then rescinding the offer at the moment of truth. I can't tell you how often that was the arc of many of my dates. You are probably the kind of girl that lets Charlie Brown complete the act with your football. Some might call you a ****, but I prefer girls like you! ;)

My comment #67 is a response to one by RubixMonkey that is sometimes numbered 64 if you hit refresh enough times. It makes no sense if #64 is by bcopeland.
