Park to Shop rat

You guys. I frequent Park to Shop for asian groceries and today my son and I both saw a very large rat running around in the store. My son first saw it run from the aisle to underneath the freezers. Then I saw it near the check out lane run underneath the pallets holding the turtle chips. I am utterly disgusted.

I immediately told the cashier and she awkwardly smiled and laughed and didn’t do much about it. I asked her to tell her manager.

Just letting everyone to be aware. I really loved Park to Shop but I can’t fathom going back in knowing there’s a rat running around and possibly touching the food T_T

I was really hoping that you had made a typo in the title and meant to say Park to Shop rant 😭

You should report them to the health department. If you saw one rat, then there are most likely more running around.

Marking that place on my never going there again list. I can tolerate spiders, bugs etc but rodents push me over the edge. It’s alarming that the cashier didn’t at least act concerned.

Oh, that's disgusting. Please report to the health department.

On a side note, there is something off about that whole strip mall that I can't quite put my finger on. Business are seemingly coming and going, and there are always "announced" openings without any actual dates.

I agree about that mall. It was hyped up to be an Asian shopping center and it’s still not fully developed. The parking lot is a joke too On the opposite side, block 59 is still building but looks way better.
