Sort of disgusted

lalicopaRobert came home early so we went with my sister in law and niece (my bro was away) to a new burger place that opened.
It's a very small place, only about 8 tables. There seems to be a lot of waiters. The menu is great, lots of fried stuff, lots of burgers (beef, kobi beef, veggie, turkey, lamb) and nice sides.
We were about to order, and I saw a small sign on the wall. It said, "We cook in peanut oil. We're sorry to all our friends with allergies." *Nothing* on the menu, *nothing* on the front door, *nothing* mentioned by the wait staff. If I hadn't seen the teeny sign, we would have gone and ordered Layne (my niece) chicken fingers and fries...without knowing they were all fried in peanut oil. My niece is allergic to peanuts. My sis in law carries and Epipen wherever they go. I was so enraged.
Janet asked the waitress if they had anything that wasn't fried in peanut oil. She said she didn't think so, but would ask in the back. Some guy with a patch over one eye came out and told us that he'd try with vegetable oil. They seemed surprised that we asked...like nobody had asked before. I guess that's highly possible since there is only ONE sign and it's minute. I took a picture on my cell phone, I'll upload it and post it later on when I'm able to get my stuffed belly off the couch.
I feel that it's irresponsible at best, criminal at worst.
