LOL! I asked this question today when I was ordering a bagel at Tim Hortons at the drive thru. I asked for peanut butter and jelly on the bagel and they said they would have to put it on the side because someone who worked there had a serious food alergy to peanuts.

So I laughed and said well this makes alot more sense I will spread the peanut butter and jelly on the bagel as I drive and then get into an accident. She said i'm sorry but that's the way it is... I'm sure 200 other people a day order something with peanuts in it so why would you inconvenience all your customers by having someone employed there who has this alergy? Should that not be a question when you are hired "are you allergic to anything?" and that be a condition of your hiring? Or is that against the labor board's hiring practices?

I don't want to sound like a complete asshole LOL! It's a slight inconvenience and I won't stop going to tim hortons over it. But I pose the question... if you have a serious food allergy why in the world would you put yourself in harms way and work in a restaurant?
