Rats Run Wild at Taco Bell-KFC in NY

[Jeffx]

Talk about getting over like a fat rat. Fuggin' rodents were practically waving at the news photographers.

Rats are a really fast food.

I never eat at Yum! Brands stores anyways. They have had a lot of bad publicity lately and there is just no way they can win me back. There has been too many reports of unsafe and unsanitary habits they have going on their stores. They claim they will do everything they can to address the problem but you know they are lying. How do you not notice a freaking colony of rats? That is too many rats to just appear overnight or to be hidden from any employees. They simply don't care.

I'm still going to go to Taco Bell and KFC.

As long as the rats are on the floor, they won't be getting into the food.

I don't live in NYC either which has a rat problem anyway.

Extra meat and flavor. Yummy.

One of the reasons why I don't eat fast food. Tastes shitty and greasy, makes you want to blow up after. Terrible for you if you're an athlete, plus health problems, bad workers, etc.

and this place passed the health inspection one day before the video of rats was shot

Actually, it's not too many to appear overnight. I remember watching this on the news, and remembering a local store renovating the basement (which seems to be the case similarly with this Taco Bell/KFC), and for about a week following, a ton of local houses had problems with mice and rats. Where they colonize, there's usually tons, and once their home is disturbed, they all move elsewhere immediately. Now, that's not to say that I'm not as disgusted at this as the next guy, but I don't think it's fair to say that these rodents were just creeping around the restaurant with regularity before this happened.
