Toddler Served Margarita In a Sippy Cup at Applebees - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ANTIOCH, Calif. - Kim Mayorga was confused when her 2-year-old started making funny faces and pushing away the apple juice he had ordered at Applebee's. The explanation came when she opened the lid of the sippy cup and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec.

The restaurant staff accidentally gave Julian Mayorga a margarita Monday. He grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital.

"I wasn't going to make a big deal about it," the mother told the Contra Costa Times on Thursday, "but then he got sick."

The apple juice and margarita mix were stored in identical plastic bottles, and the manager mistakenly grabbed the margarita container to pour the boy's drink, said Randy Tei, vice president for Apple Bay East Inc., which owns the franchise restaurant and nine other Applebee's in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Mayorgas will be reimbursed for their medical bills, and Tei said the franchise group's restaurants will no longer serve apple juice and margaritas in similar containers.

"We absolutely believe it was an honest mistake," Tei said.

The serving appeared to have been accidental, Antioch police Lt. Pat Welch said. Mayorga said her son is now doing fine.

She said the company has been very apologetic and offered free meals, but she added, "If they think I'm going back there, they're ridiculous."

I would have been PISSED if they gave my kid Margaritas instead of juice. You would think that they would keep those two APART.

Idiots!!

Sterling Holobyte · 06-15-2007, 06:49 PM

I absolutely hate Applebee's, but I can see how that could be an honest mistake.

But they were morons for keeping those two different things in the same kind of container.

Wasting away again at Applebees
Searching for my sippy cup of juice
Some people claim that a manager is to blame
Now I think we should file a lawsuit.

Sorry, I couldn't resist and that was nothing but negligence on Applebees part, The woman really should file a lawsuit as far as I'm concerned.

coffield3 · 06-15-2007, 08:28 PM

I agree file a lawsuit!

catlover79 · 06-16-2007, 12:05 AM

Even if the apple juice and the booze were in identical containers, wouldn't the person opening the booze container SMELL what was inside?? How could they have let that slip past??

Plus, you'd think the ring of coarse salt on the sippy cup would have given it away!

Good thing they don't have the Chi-Chi's policy of free refills during happy hour!

Dude... It's a Free meal! Free! Just don't bring the kid, is all...

Wow. I'd be wicked pissed if that happened to my kid. A mistake is a mistake, but seriously. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.
