Doesn't really matter what their policy is. As one who has worked in a
fast food restaurant, I can say that the manager himself is the only one
who has any concern for that. The hourly employees just do whatever is
most convenient for them, for the most part.

I work in a restaurant, and I have severe food allergies to many
different foods, esp. fruits, vegetables, and nuts. I do all the prep
work in the kitchen, and am probably the most cross-contamination
aware there. My boss is very keen to the needs of people like me, as
well as the rest of the staff. Of course, I do work in a small family
restaurant, but with the food allergies, I often only eat at
McDonalds, (Burger king is too dangerous with veggie burgers) or small
restaurants where I am often able to talk directly to the chef.

And besides, the manager and the head chef should have the most
concern, and look over their help, making sure that their policies are
being followed. If they're going to cross-contaminate with peanuts,
then there's a good chance that they're going to cross-contaminate
with raw meats and vegetables, and who would want to eat there anyways?
