Customers of a Folsom, California Fat’s Asia Bistro & Dim Sum Bar were in for a surprise on January 20th. Chron.com says that a table of four spotted a rat running across the floor during their meal. After they alerted the waitress (they weren’t able to speak to the manager) they received a $30 discount citing “SEEN RAT” as the reason on their receipt.

Jackie Logan uploaded a photo of the receipt to Facebook after the incident for her friend who received it and wanted the story shared on social media even though she doesn’t have a Facebook account. “I’m sorry, but does anyone else see a problem with this. If a rat joins you at dinner at a very well known family of restaurants in the area… At a minimum, a [M]anager should visit your table and comp my meal. Not ok… ever (at any restaurant)!!!” Logan wrote, accompanying the photo.

ABC 13 points out that a health inspector visited the restaurant following the claims and didn’t find any evidence of rodents running around the building. “There were no live or dead bodies from the rodents, no nesting, no gnawed food packages or anything like that,” Sacramento County EMB Kelly McCoy told the news. She says that it’s likely the rat ran through the restaurant after the bad weather in the area disturbed it.
