i was just in my favorite coffee and bagel shop this morning. it’s a great place, bagels made there, good coffee, lots of locals. when i was at the counter ordering i was gazing into the case to tempt myself, looking at the pastries and baked goods. on a tray of cookies i saw a baby roach. i looked closely at it to make sure it was indeed a roach. i then told the lady serving me and she removed the tray and the bug, and put the tray back.

this was a little unsettling, and as i sat at the table having my food, i started thinking about past stories people have told me about bugs at eating establishments. i have a friend who did pest control who told me if you see a roach in the daytime, the place has a bad problem.

do all food service establishments have roaches (or for that matter, mice or rats?)? has anyone experience with this subject?
