I read this and about came unglued completely.... is Applebees friggin insane?????

No just retarded for having the two items in containers that so closely resemble each other. You never order two things that are so different coming in the same type of containers. At the dinner hour I can guarantee reading ability goes out the window. Even at that there is simply no excuse for the mistake in the first place. :catgrin:
 
It was an accident. Accidents happen.

*shrug*

At least the little boy is fine, and the restaurant is doing all they can to make it right.
 
That is horrible. I cannot believe that anyone, anyone can be that distracted. You cannot blame the chain, really there is an employee who did this and should be held accountable. I dont care if they are 15, nobody, nobody can pour something into a sippy cup and not give a fuck.
 
I wonder if I can get away with a sippy cup at work

It might make some of my co-workers more tolerable.

Mm.

Toddler.

It makes sense now. :)

I blame the parents, the salt on the rim of the sippy cup should have been their first clue....

I'm sure we'll hear about a 40 million dollar lawsuit in a few weeks. Pain and suffering, mental anguish, whatever... :rolleyes:
 
Holy shit! Well, reminds me of someone who bragged about putting whiskey in her baby's milk. You never can tell.

I can understand making a mistake. It happens. But, apple juice and magarita mix don't really look (let alone smell) alike, so how you could pour it off and then not notice while putting the lid back on the sippy cup, that you'd have to explain to me.

I agree the company seems to be doing everything right, but I think that's the sort of accident that would have a restaurant manager looking for work.


:cool:

I like your quote, by the way.

Where would the margarita be served to a toddler if not in a sippy cup?

Today's toddlers are soft. Back in the day toddlers did tequila shots and ate the worm because Meemaw said it tasted like candy.

Things like margarita mix and various juices are typically kept in plastic bottles with pour spouts, so someone unfamiliar with where these items are kept could easily grab the wrong one. As for color, I've seen margarita mixes that were as golden as apple juice or cloudy as lemonade. As for the smell, there are so many aromas in and around a bar, even in a family restaurant, that a single smell is damn near impossible to detect unless you're trying to single it out.

However . . . I have a feeling the juices and marg mix were not labeled (that happens a lot in bars) and the person who poured the margarita in lieu of juice was not the regular bartender, who would have known what to grab from his rail. Thus, I suspect the problem was the fault of someone who should not have been in the bar to begin with.

Hey, at least the family will have an interesting story to tell. ;)
 
Whisky is very handy for teething babies, get it on your finger and rub it into their gums they usually quiet right down. :cattail:

Toddlers to soft my butt, the parents are the ones to soft. I mean good greif, when I was a kid there were no plastic corner peices on the furniture, there were no child safety locks there was none of this i am to freakin lazy to watch over my kid so you people who make the things I buy have to do it for me. What's next, child safe guns??? Why don't we just start fixing the things that are actually a problem right now, like say people driving. :rolleyes:

Yes hard corners on furniture is a problem when nobody is watching the poor kid, but whatever happened to taking personal responsibilty for something you did or did not do?

Thank you - he is a favorite of mine. I like his view of the world - at least in his work.

Wilde is cool. And so is his quote. But so is the one below it. That's kind of how I view sexual libertinism. LOL.
