At Ruby Tuesdays in Spartanburg, SC a customer found a 6 inch mouse in his salad.

I don't care HOW it got there...I'm never going back....Yet to my amazement, parking lot was full yesterday when I went by.

Yeah..it happened a week or two ago...I've been keeping my eye on the restaurant to see of people would stay away. I guess they don't care.

If you knew what went on in the kitchen at any restaurant wher eyou eat you'd be shocked. I just don't worry about it. There's a reason we have immune systems.

Well you can have my serving of mouse, gtalum. I used to eat at Ruby Tuesday all the time and my main thing to get was the salad, until today. :eek:

Well I wouldn't eat the mouse. I'd take it hom ein a kitty bag. :lol: ;)

I'd expect that meal to be replaced and comped. It wouldn't stop me from going there.

Every Friday...the local news here has their restaurant ratings report...some of things mentioned...absolute stomach turners! :eek:

One time while we were eating at a "Sweet Tomatoes" here in Raleigh my Dad kept noticing a girl from a booth (who was eating with her Dad) from across the aisle...keep getting get up from her seat and walking back to where the desserts, etc., were. Well, my Dad was back there getting some dessert at one point and witnessed this child licking off excess ice cream from the machine nozzle!! :eek: This girl's father hadn't a clue what had been going on for quite a while! :roll: DOH! :roll:

If you knew what was in the food you eat, you wouldn't be too worried about a mouse. :ggreen:

I have found holes in bread chewed from mice in grocery stores. I just took one to the cash register a couple of weeks ago. A couple of years ago my mama and I saw a mouse in the grocery store running under the shelves. You know if their coming out in the daylight, imagine how many they have running around at night. I wish all cities have what they report in the Birmingham Alabama news. A listing of all the restaurants that failed the health department inspections. Believe me they clean things up and keep it clean, because business goes down the tubes if your restaurant gets posted.

I don't pay any mind to the ingredients...if I did...well, may as well have a "cardboard, leather, styrofoam 'diet' ". :wink:
