Today I had to contact a food manufacturer and relabel a bunch of seasoning.
We take food safety seriously in my shop and this cannot go out to a consumer like this.
The manufacturer said its been wrong for years and nobody noticed. We noticed before it hit the shelf.

Brought my daughter to Dennys for her birthday with some girls from her school.
We got them their own table to let them feel grown up and they were being kinda noisy so we apologized to the couple near by.
They paid our bill on their way out without saying anything.
