yum

When I was 18, I worked for a few hours at a high end steak and seafood restaurant. A world champion boxer and famous trainer ate there that night. My first job was to clean the employee bathroom. No big deal I think. I open the door and there is a whole in the roof, two dead rats and the floor is completely covered in rat droppings. Also, the kitchen floor was covered in grease. A cook would drop rolls on that floor and just put them right in a basket and then a waiter would serve them. I noticed the restaurant was closed a couple of years later.
 
it really isnt that big a deal. i have eaten at that exact taco bell several times when i went to NYU. of course i wouldnt eat there anymore if i still ate fastfood but many food establishments in NYC have roach and rat problems. the average consumer normally doesnt have the chance to see hordes of them roaming around like that. plus this location is a franchise, which is alot better (for YUM) than being corporate owned.

if you ever pass by closed eateries in NYC late at night, take a minute and look in the windows. it is not uncommon to see a rodent scurry across the floor.

it makes me wonder why the media and CNBC jumped all over this story so hard. perhaps someone in the newsroom shorted some YUM beforehand?

you're not the only one who won't eat there anymore


if this was a one time thing maybe it would,nt affect them but the e-coli thing just happened, it can't be good for yum
 
I really think this may be a Buy The News play. Yum's growth is happening internationally, especially in China. They just need to capture the rats here and feed them to the chi-coms. That's a win-win!
