    Industrial degreaser mistaken for sugar? Sure, and I’m sure the health department will explain how a grown adult mixes a bar’s margarita rim with a cleaning product. Where’s the staff photo, the invoice, the inspection report?

    Three customers and two staff, and somebody still thinks “sugar” is a fine label on that bin.

    Industrial degreaser in a margarita. Somebody grabbed the wrong jug, nobody checked the label, and now five people are nursing chemical burns over a drink that was supposed to cost them $12. The corporate statement will say “we take food safety seriously,” the franchise will blame a “one-time human error,” and the staff who actually handled the chemicals will be the ones who get written up. Count on it.
