As carreer bartender, I can tell you lime juice in the eye hurts like a sonofabitch, but the reward of a well made Margarita is well worth the risk.
After a while you get used to it and the painful aspect is transformed into more of an inconvenient fruit, similar to oleo capsicum spray in the eye of a professional protester.
Having a few years of tending in my past I cannot argue with you about your point since it is quite true, but fresh lime processing is really hard to beat for locating previously unrealized papercuts and other small abrasions on the hands.
So when are they going to ban spray cans of carburetor cleaner? That hurts MUCH worse than lime juice when it gets in your eye.
Living in the UK must just be bizarre!
I wonder if the chef had suddenly taken the limes in her hands and said FREEZE!!! gimme the money.. all with a smile on her face.. I wonder what they'd have done?
They're British. They would have frozen, and gave her the money.
One squirt over the lime? Sounds like a 60's song..:)
