If you have, or know anyone with, a food allergy, I urge you to share. My 9 year old was scared of the guy. There is a report on file with Oxford PD and countless reviews similar to mine. Please, let's make this go viral.
I came into *peachwave* Friday night with my 9 year old son. This particular store does NOT do self serve, which, fine... when getting toppings I let the man know my son has a severe nut allergy. He added my toppings then proceeded to ask my son if he wanted toppings from that side. I told him he only wants toppings from the other side. He ignored me then asked my son if he wanted snickers. I reminded him my son has a severe nut allergy. He says, so? I say snickers has peanuts... he then offers brownies. I ask if they're nut free, he says he makes them himself. I then ask if there's any chance of cross contamination. And he gets mad and tells me I need to relax, it's not a big deal. I inform him that it IS in fact a BIG deal as my son could die. He got argumentative with me, yelling at me that it's not his fault my son has a nut allergy. ???? This gets to the point where he comes out from behind the counter and is screaming at me to get out of his store and being a mom of a child with a severe allergy, i stood my ground. I won't be bullied by a man who got upset with me for correcting him. I yelled back and we continued to argue loudly. There were other customers in the store at this time. The woman working then tells me she is going to record this, which I encouraged her to do. At this point my son is scared, hands over his ears, and the guy starts mocking him, saying "oh ooh yea you better cover your ears, wahhh." They said they were calling the cops and I encouraged that too, told them I'd be waiting outside. While i was sitting outside, i also called for police. The man then comes outside and continues yelling at me, he wanted me to leave the property, knowing if I left one police were called I'd be "leaving the scene" (Because, apparently, "this isn't the first time this has happened" -his own words!!!!!). When the police arrive, they ask to see video. He says they have cameras but they "don't record" and the woman says she recorded a video. Then went back inside and never came back out - she never showed them her video. When speaking with police after they heard his story, they let me know his story was different, but confirmed this isn't the first time they've gotten complaints about this location and asked if I've seen their yelp reviews. I'm nowhere near done. My fb post has been shared 84 times so far. My 2 next door posts have reached over 8.5k people. I had another person tell me this guy PURPOSELY put nuts at the bottom of his son's cup and cover it with ice cream so they wouldn't notice. Luckily he noticed before his kid reached to bottom. Maybe i watch too many movies but that sounds like attempted murder to me. Another man told me he shoved him. Another was threatened with a baseball bat. This place needs new management or to be shut down all together. If you can share this review, know anyone who can get more exposure on this guy (news, paper, anything). There are plenty of victims, we just need a LOUDER VOICE! read more
