Tort Law Business Scenario and Questions

You are general manager of the popular Earl's on Main in Winnipeg. Today has been one of those days when nothing goes right. The snow removal company, contracted by Earl's to shovel and salt the entrance way, didn't show up. You decided to run across the street to another restaurant, Ivory, to "borrow" some of their sidewalk salt. As you stepped into their entrance way from outside, you almost slipped and fell. Luckily you grabbed onto a curtain hanging in the entrance way. Unluckily, however, the curtain and rod broke off the window. Completely embarrassed you rushed back across the street to Earl's before anyone could see you. When you got back inside, your phone went off. It was your lead bartender calling in sick. It is 5pm. The dinner rush is arriving. You are considering re-assigning a newly hired dishwasher to cover the bar for the evening. As you are trying to think, one of your servers comes up and informs you that the craft beer, made in house and served on tap, smells funny and looks off (cloudier than usual). Feeling overwhelmed, you retreat into your office to collect your thoughts and risk assess your situation. Question #1
