I am glad I moved out of that area. I use to live in that area twenty years
ago.
Now it is an economically depressed area with high crime. Some times I
think I should move to the upper peninsula to get further away from people.
Even usenet is getting too close.

Madison Heights? High crime? My mother still lives there, Nad. I'm
tolerably familiar with the area.

To get high crime, you have to go south of Eight Mile. Even the close-
in
burbs like Madison Heights just get ordinary crime.

I will give you economically depressed, though. It's in Michigan.

I have a very difficult time believing that normal parents wouldn't
have noticed that their child was served a *cocktail*. That type of
bar drink would have contained lots of ice and an obvious garnish...
plain apple juice would not have even been prepared by any bartender
and the restaurant waitstaff wouldn't have access to any booze. Plain
apple juice brought to an infant or any child would be just plain... I
wonder what those parents were ON. I'd bet they ordered that appley
cocktail for themselves. That story stinks on ice.

Yeah and the salt on the rim would tend to give it away, too, right?

The apple juice was in a child's sippy cup, not a martini glass,
dumbass. And the alcohol mixture is pre-made for margarita machines.
They may have even used an apple juice jug to mix the alcohol with the
liquid mix for putting into the margarita machine.

Did you really think it was in a margarita glass with salt on the rim
and an umbrella in it?

Sheesh allmighty.

Or-- Maybe Applebees does what the news this AM said they have done
[and caught at] twice before. [assorted ages and mixed drinks].

For the sake of speed some bartender makes a batch of a popular drink
and puts it in an unlabeled/mislabeled bottle behind the bar. Another
bartender picks it up and pours.

I'm not a tea-totaler by any stretch, but I've always been
uncomfortable having bartenders pour all the drinks for a restaurant.
The non-alcoholic stuff can be poured by a waitress at dispenser.

It appears that this is the 3rd time *Applebees* has done this. Are
they the only ones that have bartenders dumb enough to carry this out?
Or do they just have enough bartenders on duty that one doesn't know
what the other is up to?

I was 20 when I ate at my first Applebee's. And have eaten at 3 since
then. Reno, NV. Columbus, OH. And the last time in Cincinatti OH
(Halloween night 1998).

Nuh-uh. From the Telegraph:

In June 2007, Julian Mayorga, a two-year-old from Antioch, California,
was also served margarita instead of apple juice at an Applebee's. It
emerged that the drinks had been stored in identical bottles.

That incident came just a year after Seth Pereles, a five-year-old
from New York City, was given a Long Island iced tea when he too
ordered an apple juice at a local Applebee's.

Does Applebee's even have a bar/bartender? I don't remember them if
they do. I thought it was a "Family" type atmosphere.

Then again Red Robin has a balloon-twisting clown AND a [eexpensive]
bar/bartender, so .

It's not denial. The restaurants I worked in (note: I said many years ago,
we're talking 1978-ish) didn't have apple juice. (No one was drinking
"Appletini's" back then, and I'm not sure those are even made with apple
juice.) We could offer milk or orange juice, that's about it. And no, no
one ever asked me to fill a sippy cup.

Most bars don't premix drinks and those that do, keep them in special
dispensers like Chevy's does with their frozen margaritas.
