Man who was verbally abusive at a smoothie shop loses his Merrill Lynch job

A viral TikTok video has resulted in a Connecticut man being fired from his job at Merrill Lynch. 48-year-old James Iannazzo entered a Robeks smoothie shop in Fairfield and began screaming at employees behind the counter, even throwing a smoothie at workers at one point. In the video, Iannazzo can be heard screaming at the employees, cursing, asking for a manager and calling the employees “ignorant high school kids” and referring to one as an “immigrant loser.”

… Following the incident, a representative for Merrill Lynch released a statement on behalf of the company: “Our company does not tolerate behavior of this kind,” the statement read. “We immediately investigated and have taken action. This individual is no longer employed at our firm.”

… According to reports, Iannazzo flew into a fit of rage after a smoothie he purchased at the shop contained peanuts, which sent his 17-year-old son, who is allergic, into anaphylactic shock and caused him to be hospitalized.

… During the investigation, employees reported that Iannazzo never told them about the peanut allergy but had only requested that there be no peanut butter in his drink.”
