I went to dinner tonight with my mother in-law, brother in-law, nephew, husband, and son to Madigans Pub in Maple Lake, MN. My son has an allergy to Milk Protein, which means that he cannot have anything containing milk product. While looking at the kid’s menu I saw that they had Fettuccini with Marinara sauce (spaghetti). I asked the server to verify for me that this did not contain Cheese, Butter or any other Milk product in the Spaghetti and could be cooked in a clean pan. She came back and assured me that nothing contained milk in the Spaghetti. After the dinner came, my son had two bites of his spaghetti and said that his mouth felt funny, I looked at him and his lips were swollen and he was starting to break out in hives around his mouth. I immediately put the plate at the end of the table and asked the waitress to bring us a hamburger and French fries, without asking if there was anything wrong with the Spaghetti, she said OK and turned to walk away. I immediately went to the two different gas stations in town to see if I could get some Benadryl for my son while my husband and mother in-law sat with my son. When I got back with Benadryl, my husband told me he had spoken to the Owner of the company (Chris) and that he immediately got attitude from him stating that it wasn’t his fault and he would not do anything about this. They would not take the Spaghetti off of our bill as something else was ordered in replacement and they insisted that there was no milk in the Spaghetti. I talked to our server letting her know that I would pay the bill but I would not pay for the Spaghetti as my son had a moderate reaction to it and was not able to eat it. The owner (Chris) then came over and told me it was not their fault so there for we were liable for paying for the product as he couldn’t say what we had fed my son previously to going there. For those with allergies to food, know that when you have a food that you are allergic to, the reaction is almost immediate. He told me that we were legally responsible for paying for it and would call the police if we would not pay for his $6.00 kid’s meal. I asked him to please call the cops, and he walked away and said “Forget it” with a few other choice words. As we started to leave the establishment, he followed us out and continued to yell at us saying that if we don’t know what our child could eat, then we should not bring him out to eat. I refuse to believe that just because you have a food allergy you are not allowed to go out to eat at an establishment, as I learned that this is possible being a server and dealing with this issue daily. This also was not the issue as he has eaten Spaghetti at many different restaurants with no issues. He said it was our fault for not asking for a manager immediately, and if we had then they would have covered the cost. I am sorry, but I have served for about 7 years of my life, and if someone ever sent a meal back the first words out of my mouth has been “Is there something wrong”, our waitress just said OK and walked away. While I was saying this he continued to scream at me and told me that I was a psychotic f*ck*ng b*tch. Yes, when it comes to my son’s life, I suppose I am. To me it was not a matter of $6.00, it was a matter of the fact that a $6.00 meal could have ended my sons life had it been worse, and the owner chose to blame me for being a bad parent for not knowing and take no responsibility. I am not saying that they did this on purpose, as who would? My problem is the way that they handled the situation, blaming the parents and showing no respect for the life of a 7 year old boy. My son was scared that his parents were going to jail because he said he was calling the police in front of him and him feeling like he had done something wrong. This is not something that should ever happen, nor should it ever happen to a 7 year old child.
