why the fuck would margarita mix be in a sippy cup in the first place? haha..

no one walks up to the bar and is like, "yeah.. rum n coke.. and can you put it in a baby bottle for me?' hahaha

even if someone at the table ordered a drink, there was no reason to have it in a childs container to begin with.. that kind of negligence could have killed that child..

I smell lawsuit..

Isn't it obvious that the parents set this up?

What bartender is gonna put booze in a sippy cup and send it out?

Sorry, but something stinks.

how in the hell did they accidentally serve a margarita in a kids sippy cup? i dont understand how this could happen, the only thing i can think of is an employee using the kids cup to drink margaritas at work (it has a lid and you likely couldnt see through it) and getting it mixed up.

I still think suing is wrong. It's like putting a price on a human life. Money won't fix the fact that the child was served alcohol or the fact that the worker may have been negligent. Accidents happen and suing for a large settlement just points out your greed.

This is most likely a planned scheme between them and/or someone they know that works at the restaurant.

Considering the beverage served was supposed to be apple juice, and what was served was margarita mixer instead, I'm inclined to think the two are kept in similar serving devices behind the bar. Rather than grabbing the apple juice container the bartender grabbed the margarita mixer by mistake...

It could have also been fermented apple juice. I have had a Caprisun before that smelled and tasted like wine.

This is what I'm thinking. most of the time those corporate joints are super strict about alcohol. I mean people go to places like that for cheap shitty happy hour drinks, but I doubt that they'd throw some into a sippy cup for you. I wait tables on the weekend. People are always bringing sippy cups full of whatever in for their young kids. I honestly think that the parents are probably strapped for cash and trying to sue the company or maybe the server was mentally ill. Those seem like the two most probable scenarios.

This defiantly sounds fishy.

Even if the restaurant is at fault... they should be held responsible and forced to pay hospital bills, maybe lose their liquor license for a few weeks/months. But awarding millions of dollars to the family really doesn't do anything, and anyone who demands absurd amounts of money after an accident happens is a greedy, scum of the earth, piece of shit in my opinion.

I could see if the kid did die or something...

First off, how the hell do you mistake the childs cup (normally with cartoon characters on it) for an adults to even put the mix in?

I dont believe in the fact of suing every thing and every one, but its going to come and they WILL get something out of it. Remember the dumb old lady that burned her skin off because no one told her that the COFFEE she bought at mcdonalds was HOT? I think she made a few million for being the worst definition of an american you can be...oh yea and a fucking dumbass. The employees are representatives of the company. They were hired through the applebees corporation standards for employment. So, they are liable for the actions of their employees because, essencially they are the company. If I had cussed out one of my customers, I would be fired, but the company would face the reprecussions of my actions because I was hired according to their standards and am a part of the companys work force. Having a low standard for their employees puts customers at risk of being insulted or in this case, served alcohol that, though it didnt, could have killed the child. That is definitely grounds for a lawsuit. If I were to talk to my customers about how to remove or remedy lead based paints and what I said was not to EPA standards and practices for handling such an instance, even though they didnt get lead poisoning, the EPA would sue the shit out of my company for giving advice that POTENTIALLY could have caused someone( not even the person doing the work,but a passer-by) to get lead poisoning. This is AMERICA!  You can sue for a tree heaving up a sidewalk, you trip and skin your knee and have a hard time putting on clothes, which makes you late for work, which causes you pain and suffering for having to get up an extra 20 min. That is worth a couple thousand dollars for a fucking tree trying to survive. If you have the money or a shifty lawyer willing to take the case you better believe that you can get plenty out of anything.

I don't think anyone denies that you "can" sue anyone for pretty much anything in America.

What people are trying to point out is that it's a total scumbag thing to do, and really only proves how greedy people are.

I would say it's also a sign of a lack of community, and not just horribly greedy people.

When a culture is without a certain sense of community people tend to isolate themselves and view everybody else as "competition" who, in one way or another, are infringing on their quest to "get a piece of the pie". There is no collective sense, really, because the culture is so individualistic. It, therefore, really allows people to not see the collective consequences of suing the shit out of someone else in their community.

It's also a sign of a shitty economy. People let stupid stuff slide a lot more and tend to be quite compassionate when their lifestyle isn't threatened by the anxiety of possibly losing their house/job/car...ect.

That's the question of vicarious liability - why should this company (who realistically had nothing to do with the employee's negligence) be forced to compensate the family? Can an individual really be responsible for the actions of another?

Why? What he is saying is accurate. If some worker at Walmart killed everyone, its not Walmart's fault.
