DID YOU SEE THIS?
A guy with celiac disease goes to Olive Garden. Told the server he has celiac. Asks if they have gluten-free fettucine alfredo. Server says yes.
* Note that their Alfredo sauce is NOT gluten-free.
Server served the fettucine alfredo.
Guy says he had “an allergic reaction” that left him with “significant and permanent injuries”.
Guy sues Olive Garden.
This stinks all around.
First…let’s talk about the guy:
– Has celiac disease and goes to Olive Garden and expects a safe meal. Strike one.
– Does not order a meal from their ‘gluten sensitive’ menu but instead orders something different. Strike two.
– Did not do any research ahead of time. Otherwise, he would have known that their alfredo sauce was not gluten-free. Strike three.
As for Olive Garden, absolutely the server and the kitchen should have known it was not safe. They effed up and need to revamp their training program.
But man…suing a company when you as a celiac did not do any due diligence? Just doesn’t sit right with me.
Your thoughts?
