What's with all the drunk kids at local restaurants?
This week was a festive one for HCK2, as we celebrated "National Grilled Cheese Day" with our new friends at Norma's Cafe.
Good times, right? Great PR for restaurants, true?
I suppose wine and cheese was on the brain this week because not one... but TWO stories about toddlers getting smashed at their local dining establishments.
First, let's visit a suburban Detroit Applebee's as a two-year old was slipped a margarita in his sippy cup instead of the apple juice mom ordered for Baby Susie.
You know, because "apple juice" and "margarita" sound the same. Not to mention, they are probably located in the same freezer, right? Jagermeister, Cognac, Apple Juice, Vodka, Margarita Mix and possibly Hi-C fruit punch.
Not like one story about infantile firewater is bad enough, we stumble across to Central Florida where we read of a similar incident at an Olive Garden.
Little Johnny got schnookered with a lovely white win concotion called "Tropical Sunrise." Oh sure, blitzed is too harsh. After all, Johnny wasn't looking like a bum, right? Let his mom tell you:
“He was visibly drunk. His eyes were dilated, they were red. He was now getting loud.”
Yeah, looks like he is going to teach the boys at the Frat house a thing or two.
Are you kidding me?!
You slap my kids with some Boone's Farm at an On the Border or some such, I'm not only calling the press... I'm calling the TABC.
The crisis PR retainers must be cashing in by the ton with these two stories. You know, forget Jamie Olive with his admirable "Food Revolution." I would think some of the fast food uber chains need to take "12 long steps" of another kind of customer service.
It seems to be catchy.
