Camp Counselor Left 'Dumbfounded' by Woman's Bizarre Ice Cream Demand
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A camp counselor has been applauded for their response to a woman's "ridiculous" demands on Ice Cream Day. The camp counselor, user No_Deer4983, recounted the incident on Reddit, explaining how the woman, whom the OP named "Karen", had approached the ice cream stand to ask whether the ice cream contained peanuts, claiming she was allergic. Despite telling the woman that it was vanilla ice cream, she continued her line of questioning. A stock image of three ice cream cones. A stock image of three ice cream cones. GETTY After confirming with the camp's head chef that there were no peanuts in the vanilla ice cream, the OP returned to let the woman know. However, that wasn't enough to satisfy her, and she demanded the OP check the box. "I sigh and wander back down the stairs to the walk-in cooler to check," they wrote. "I even thought to bring it back with me in case she doesn't believe me." "Well, they might have peanuts in the factory where this was made. You need to check," she replied. The OP recalled, "I just stare at her, dumbfounded. 'And how exactly am I supposed to do that?' I responded, perhaps a little snarky. I was getting tired of her nonsense," the OP wrote. The woman then claimed the OP was treating her "poorly" and threatened to complain to management about their service. "It's a crappy summer job, I get paid barely anything, and no one else wants to do it," the OP replied. "Complain all you want." As she stormed off, the OP noted with satisfaction that there was a strawberry sherbet ice cream made especially for lactose-intolerant kids, "but like hell I was gonna give it to her". The OP remarked, "Sure, I could have probably avoided the headache by bringing that up to begin with, but some people just don't deserve ice cream." Speaking to Newsweek via Reddit direct message, the OP explained, "It happened at the end of a long work day, and I never saw that particular Karen again. "The kitchen staff has trained us on the proper way to look up if products are made in a factory with peanuts, and they are apparently labeled as such. I didn't know until after the fact." Reddit Reacts More than 250 Reddit users took to the comments to weigh in, with many expressing disbelief at the woman's behavior. One user commented, "'...some people just don't deserve ice cream'. Truer words were never spoken." Another added, "If she's THAT allergic to peanuts, she should know not to even risk it then and move on." "Yeah, she is hella annoying," one Redditor remarked. "If that truly mattered to her, she shouldn't stop at a shabby ice cream spot and just go to an establishment that's regulated, period. What an odd old fart." Another suggested, "I would have just said, 'Yes, there is a chance there are peanuts in this ice cream. Sorry' to get her to leave." Allergies and Attitudes The post resonated with readers in part because it mirrors similar scenes in public places where individuals have conflicting expectations about allergy precautions. In one incident reported by Newsweek, a man was widely supported online for his decision to eat mixed nuts on a flight, despite protests from another passenger who said they had a peanut allergy. Other disputes stem from misunderstandings, with another Newsweek article describing a woman who was accused of falsely claiming an allergy to avoid eating certain foods at a family dinner.
