    You exaggerate. There were not rats. Just roaches. And only two... that I saw.

    just teasing ya. :D

    i still would have walked the hell out, though. that's crap & no one should have to put up with that. just my $0.02.

    "But Matt," she whined, "the tortolinni was really good"

    And after this _ I have a lifetime pass for ever being accused of being High Maintenance.

    Can I get a witness?

    Norm, I was so much cooler than that!

    I just flicked it off the table and had some more wine.

    When the second one appeared, the wine was gone so I took one of Mr. Unlost's Coronas.

    With lime.

    And no cockroach.

    well, looks like I missed quite the story....

    *I would have played off the roaches much like unlost...since the people Mr. RK works with are mostly, well...high maintenance.

    *when 'going to the washroom' I would have spoken with the manager and added in a little, "this is a very important dinner, and one of the guests is extremely disgusted by the additional uninvited guests that are at our table".

    *I would not have taken home leftovers.

    *I probably would not go back to the restaurant...ever

    *depending on the manager's reaction to my comment, if it was something to the effect of unlost's, I would write a scathing review on one of those comment websites...yelp.com, judysbook.com, angieslist.com, citysearch.com

    *the ENTIRE meal should have been comped.

    unlost...I hope that if I attend a nice meal with you, a similar scenario does not occur :?

    You're a bigger woman than I unlost to put up with that crap. I would have freaked the fuck out if I saw a roach on the table. I would have been like that woman on the commercial where the guy has the tarantula picture on his phone. Screaming bloody murder.

    I probably would have trampled people to get the fuck out of there. Seriously. :D
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    At dawn's early light, I awoke having spent a fitful night plagued by recurring dreams of going back to this restaurant with Mr. Unlost and seeing more and more and more roaches.

    I can't believe what the manager told me. I'm going to give the Board of Health a call... I feel bad about it, but honestly, they should have closed down for the night if they were exterminating because things were that bad.

    I'm heartbroken, because this has been one of our favorite restaurants for years now. And the people there are very, very nice.

    But I can't imagine ever going back there again.

    :(

    I don't think you have any choice, roaches are an extreme health hazard.

    I don't think they have roaches in country, do they?!? Unless they migrate out from, say... CHICAGO.

    Just had a text from Mr. Unlost.

    He is getting takeout lunch for his buddies... FROM LAST NIGHT'S RESTAURANT.

    :sick:

    I called the Board of Health. They're heading over this afternoon to check it out.

    I felt a little like a ratfuck doing that, but honestly, they need to get it taken care of. They really are nice people... :?

    He figures the kitchen must be spotless if the roaches have to venture into the dining room for food.

    If there was a roach anywhere near me in a restaurant, that would be the last time I went to that restaurant.

    What I'd do....prior to paying anything, tell the manager of your disgust. See if he'll cut anything off of your bill, then pay and tip appropriately.
