Waitress served detergent instead of schnapps
An Austrian waitress has been fined £500 for mistakenly serving guests industrial strength cleaning detergent instead of schnapps.
The court in Klagenfurt in southern Austria heard how five diners ended up in hospital after drinking what they thought was schnapps.
The waitress told the court that she had been “stressed.”

Presumably more stressed now… flying blind here, excuse typos. Xanga or my browser won’t let me see what I’m typing in the box until after it’s posted.
Well, that wasn’t so bad.
But I have to wonder why they didn’t notic e the taste… no, I doon’t. I’ve tasted schnapps.
I’ve been served some drinks that taste like cleaning fluid!
