Is this dangerous?

Hiya everyone,

Ik this is for kitchen staff

I’m (M20) working at this quite nice place in the uk and I was just sent home early because I disagreed with the GMs decision to reuse tequila from a partially smashed bottle.

When I say smashed I mean all of the top and some of the middle had gone and there was still glass breaking off as they poured it in to a tub.

He said they will fine strain it but it’s more the microscopic stuff I’m really worried about. I’m not pissed that he sent me home but I’m more worried that shit is on the bar and could potentially harm a customer.

When he pulled me aside he told me to pretty much be quiet because I’m a bartender and he is GM

Is this dangerous? Should I inform a higher authority to prevent this being served or is double straining it enough do you think?

Please let me know I can’t tell if I’m being pedantic.

Edit:
They used it.

They did strain it. Not 100% sure if it was through a coffee filter or just a fine strainer. Either way it was house tequila. Not even that expensive. Head bartender agreed with me.🤷‍♂️
