No sour grapes: Restaurant forgives employee who mistakenly served $5,700 bottle of vintage wine.

The next time you mess up, however, you'll be hoping your boss is just as forgiving as the owners of Hawksmoor Manchester steakhouse in the U.K., who said,"We love you anyway" to the employee who mistakenly served to an unsuspecting customer a $5,700 bottle of wine -- a bottle roughly 20 times as expensive than the one that was ordered.

To the customer who accidentally got given a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, which is £4500 on our menu, last night - hope you enjoyed your evening! To the member of staff who accidentally gave it away, chin up! One-off mistakes happen and we love you anyway 😉 "The look pretty similar OK!?" they posted, although it has to be said that for the wine lovers at ABC News, the difference is fairly obvious.Social media users were quick to praise the restaurant's"excellent" handling of the situation.

I once by accident released a £90k payment for work that hadn't been delivered. I was sure I was going to get a formal warning, but my PM was like,"how about you develop a series of steps so this doesn't happen again."It's marketing at its finest..

So the restaurant says no problem. But a lunch lady gets fired for letting a child eat free. What's more important?

Would that be covered by an “errors and omissions” policy?

I'm glad they forgave the employee. Anything worth that much money should be locked in a safe and not left on a shelf and used by mistake.

Three reasons a wonder drug can cost $5 mlnNovartis’s gene therapy for a deadly disease looks likely to set a record. There are justifiable factors, like the value it delivers and drugmakers’ high development costs. Then there are less palatable ones, including an inefficient U.S. market with a tolerance for high prices. Reuters rob_cyran Profit and greed must come before everything else. rob_cyran But people STILL won't understand.

Economists conducted a $5 million experiment to (literally) shed light on crimeA six-month, $5 million experiment conducted at about 40 New York City public-housing developments found that installing streetlights reduced nighttime serious crime by as much as 59 percent. I believe in Chicago, some 10 years ago, as they run out of $ for lights, they found that there was no difference in crime rate corresponding to where the lights had been installed. I guess it speaks for planning of the lighting being more imprtant than simply installing it? I just wonder what other advantages for 40 residences $5 million dollars could have bought that wasn't shining a prison-break spotlight into their windows all night.
