Every animal has its day

I just read a story on Money.CNN.com on how a Taco bell just got its door closed because it was infested with rats. Notice I said RATS, because this are quite large creatures, not your typical little white mice you might run into from time to time.

It is actually quite disgusting to see this as we are not talking about one or two critters, but actually dozens of them running around between counters and tables and climbing on children's high chairs. Make sure to check out the video.

I have never been more disgusted in my life. I don't like to eat at fast food restaurants, typically for health reasons, but on the rare occasion I do go, my place of choice has always been Taco Bell. As a matter of fact, I was thinking I would head down to the local Taco Bell, here in Norwalk CT for lunch today, but seeing this has not only deterred me from going, but actually killed my appetite.

The bottom line is that in today's consumer conscious market, it is surprising to see a chain go down the drain like this. First it was the E.coli outbreaks and now this. If this restaurant chain is going to make it they have better start cleaning up their act or they are going to find themselves in the same spot as other chains in the past. Chains that live on but only as a memory in people's mind such of the likes of Roy Rogers, now I want a burger!
