There are protocols and standards put into place to prevent things like this from happening. Unfortunately, they weren't followed or the supervisor in charge of organizing the switch wasn't running a tight ship.
I cannot imagine the volume of swearing and foul language spoken by management as the news went up the chain of command.

Remember though, these are Scottish fish. They will probably disappear, not wanting to be stuck with the bar tab.
