One family’s birthday celebration ended horribly, as a Texas Roadhouse restaurant accidentally gave their toddler a sangria drink instead of the cranberry juice they ordered.
Via The Daily Mail:
The Asheville, North Carolina couple went to Texas Roadhouse this week to celebrate Derek Gilliam’s 25th birthday, with their toddler daughter in tow.
The family ordered dinner and non-alcoholic drinks – including a cranberry juice for baby Gabriela.
However, Gabriela seemed to think the drink tasted funny, leading her parents to try it and also notice something was off.
What they figured out was that the waitress had mistakenly brought a glass of sangria to the table instead of cranberry juice, like they ordered.
When Gabriela started acting funny this week, and then started getting sick, they took the baby girl to the hospital where doctors diagnosed the girl with accidental alcohol ingestion. However, she is now doing better.
The restaurant has since issued a public apology to the family, saying it was an honest mistake. They also took care of the Gilliam’s bill and sent one of their employees to the hospital for support.
Thank God the little girl turned out okay. I don’t know how a restaurant mistakenly gave a toddler sangria instead of juice. They should be offering this family a little bit more than paying their bill.
