The company that owns the Applebee's restaurant chain said on Monday it was immediately retraining its workers nationwide after a server at a suburban Detroit location accidentally served alcohol to a toddler.
The company, California-based DineEquity Inc, said it would also change the way it serves juice to youngsters to eliminate the chance of any mixups that could result in any more toddlers receiving mixed drinks.
On Friday, Taylor Dill-Reese went to an Applebee's in Madison Heights, Michigan, where -- among other things -- she ordered her 15-month-old son Dominick an apple juice.
What the little boy apparently got instead was a margarita. His mom told WDIV-TV that she only realized something was wrong when Dominick "kind of laid his head on the table and dozed off a little bit and woke up and got real happy."
The little boy reportedly began hailing strangers, too.
Applebee's released a statement on Monday saying it was relieved that Dominick was "not seriously injured as a result of accidentally receiving the wrong beverage" and apologizing to his family "for the stress and worry this caused them."
It said it would begin to serve apple juice to children only from single-serve containers at the table and would "retrain all severs on our beverage pouring policy, emphasizing that non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages must be stored in completely separate and identified containers."

It was later stated that the youngster was proclaiming he was best friends with everyone, and had a large craving for Taco Bell.

Reports also indicated the child later placed a phone call to an ex-girlfriend from daycare, repeatedly asking the toddler why she no longer loved him.

and he woke up the next morning laying by a fat 14 month old girl

Reports further indicate that the child's best friend had to hold his head out of the commode for half the night.

Something about this doesn't pass the smell test. So somebody just happened to mix up a margarita and "accidentally" poured it in a cup that is exclusively used for children's beverages? Or did they just bring the kiddo out a salt-rimmed rita glass and the parent didn't notice?

An intense training session I am sure it is. Does everyone get a certificate demonstrating that they can mark a container and pour contents from it properly?

Just my opinion but if you are a dude and are ordering yourself a margarita you may as well be ordering a Zima or Mojito.

Because if I have to go to a restaurant like that, I need alcohol. And their tequila tastes like rat **** without a ton of sugar and lime added.

Applebee's makes their own tequila? I'm pretty sure it's just the name brands that any bar serves.

I'll grant you a pass if it is at a Mexican restaurant. I tend to go with a Tecate or Modello there though.

Those beers suck...and you guys are making fun of people who like margaritas. I love me a margarita. Hell I'll drink any cocktail, I don't give a **** what you think. They taste good and get you ****ed up. My stomach can't handle shots of liquor. As long the name doesn't start with a fruit and end in tini I'll try it.

I wouldn't go so far as to say those beers "suck". Modelo is actually a pretty nice little cheapo lager. I'd certainly rather drink it than P!ss Light or any of the other crappy domestics that most people drink. Honestly there really aren't any Mexican beers that are all that superlative. Negra Modelo is good, but it's not great.

I just think it's ridiculous that some of you guys wouldn't order a drink because some homophobic fear that you might be less manly after you're done. They taste good, get me crunk real quick. What else you looking for?

Then if you were ever going to try a Mexican brew, I would suggest Negra Modelo. It's probably as close as you're going to get to what you like. If you're out at Mexican restaurant sometime and are bored give one a try.

Chips, salsa, and a snow-cone margarita sucked through a straw is my idea of heaven.

I guess I probably will have to. I just remember having it back in the day and didn't like it. Of course that was in my beginning drinking days when I didn't enjoy the beer for the beer, only to get drunk.

This.
I spent an inordinate period of time in my life writing 'Corrective Action Reports' for various customers. Training was always part of it, and you always had to 'document' the training. Typically things like training workers to remove their packs of ciggies from outside pockets (Intel was not amused with the free Marlboros they received in a package of materials marked 'Cleanroom Ready').
How do you 'train' people to not put alcohol in juice containers? Maybe you start by trying the concept of not putting drain cleaner in water pitchers? I pity the poor bastidge who'll have to write this one. And then rewrite it when JR from the legal department decides to put his spin on it.

Right.
I was hoping that someone wouldn't see I contradicted myself. I've had them though, just don't like martinis really. I was at BWW the other day at the bar with my lady, I ordered an LIT she ordered their tall as glass of Boulevard. I didn't care what the guys next to me were thinking. But all I'm saying is there are no "girl" and "man" drinks...

There's this little place in Pensacola that makes something called Caribbean martinis. They just have these big jars full of tropical fruit that they fill with vodka and let it soak for some length of time. All I know is that you can get sideways just eating the fruit out of the jar. That stuff is delicious.

It's actually not a V8 (which I love) but the Bloody Mary mix Chelada I believe. I guess I can't say anything about mixers as I'll never pass up a bloody mary.
