    Default A roach crawled across my menu..yuck !

    So yesterday while I'm dining at CPK at Ala Moana mall, a baby roach crawled across the menu..I yell ewww roach and the waitress rush over to kill it.
    That was the grossest thing ever ! I should've complained and got my meal comped but, my mind was busy thinking about yoga drama and what I can do to get over it. I will never eat there again !
    Hmm, on second thoughht..I can still call and speak to the mgr about it. Regardless of if I eat there or not, something isn't right, roaches don't just walk into clean kitchens.
    My new love...is me !

    California Pizza Kitchen..I saw the roach while I was eating my mixed mushroom pizza. You saw a roach at Luby's ??!! That sucks major ass, I was looking forward to eating at one when I get to Houston in December. Now I won't be able to get the thought out of my mind.

    I saw a roach at a Black Eyed Pea restaurant when I was about 14 years old. It ran across the table. I have not been to a single BEP restaurant since.

    I would've walked out right there. That happened to me at a Macaroni Grill once. I was halfway through my meal when a roach just marched across my table. I grabbed my purse and ran to the front of the restaurant, and since the manager was there I explained that I was leaving and why. He tried to tell me it was a "water bug" from the construction next door. Pfff, I know what a damn roach looks like. I left and I did NOT pay for that meal. I did remember to tip the waitress though.

    Only thing though is that sometimes roaches *do* "just walk into clean kitchens," especially in certain climates. Back in Memphis, during certain times of the year, the occasional roach is just a fact of life. I was working at Outback Steakhouse once when a customer caught one and threw it in my face, and he gave me and the manager a good reaming-out (like it's MY fault, right)... but the damn thing is, that's the cleanest restaurant I've ever worked in. We just had the bad luck for that guy to notice when the roach came in from outside.

    ^^WOW, what a DICK for THROWING A ROACH in your face. Aww I want to give you a hug now

    To the OP, damn I cannot believe you ate there after that!! I would have run out screaming and crying. I also cannot believe they didn't even comp your meal WITHOUT you asking.

    Some restaurants are cleaner than others, but every now and then they can get in from the dumpster outside.

    EW! If you want you can call the health inspectors.

    Yek, thats so wrong he threw it at you?! Also, really nice of you to tip the waitress. Some would have been so mad and forget.

    Oh yes, he threw it right in my face. And I have a serious cockroach phobia. I screamed and I was shaking for at least an hour... and the manager gave the guy's whole family a FREE MEAL. I quit that same night and haven't waited tables since... I marched home and told my then-husband, "If we need the money this badly, I'll be a stripper. It's GOT to be less degrading than this!"

    Hawaii's loaded with roaches. Not the place to be if you have any type of phobia of them. Seriously, they're practically everywhere.

    Wait he actaully threw it in your face ?? If so that was rude as fuck !

    You're right about the climate though..I called CPK today and spoke with the kitchen mgr. I told him what happened and he comped me a meal..He explained that the kitchen is clean and he was happy I called so he could get pest control on it. He said it's hard to control everything 100% with the humidity here. Now I'm rethinking my Luby's comment. I love Luby's and Wyatt's..The food is so good..When E was little he used to say "shhh Wyatt's" ..Like "shh be quiet".. He'd crack us up.

    I'm surprised they didn't comp me right away too. The kitchen manager said the server should've brought it to the shift mgr's attention when it happened.
    I was already eating when it happened..Like I said in my op, I was too out of it..I've been numb since the whole yoga (attack) incident. I'm finally feeling back to myself.

    That is gross. It's not like you just saw it. Being in your food is a totally different story..I know in hot, humid climates there are more bugs..When I lived in Houston they would come up the drains ..I grew up in CA most of my life, and I was shocked when I saw one come out of the drain when I moved to Houston..It reminded me of a scene from Creep Show.
    The leasing office told me to block the drains at night time.
    And let's not talk about the flying ones..OMG !

    I can totally see why that would be true..I see tiny spiders in my room and other bugs from time to time..No roaches though..Come to think of it, I never saw any ( or at least don't remember seeing one) when I lived here before.
    Thanks for the heads up though, so I won't start screaming "eww a roach" next time I see one.

    Pretty much, heh. I waited another couple of years but that was how it really started. When I told my ex-husband I'd started stripping, his first question was, "So is it less degrading than waitressing?" Yep. It sure is. Nobody better even THINK about throwing a roach at me nowadays!!

    Amen to that! Every dancer I know has a circle of friends (i.e., non dancer friends) that thinks she is the ballsiest mofo ever. It eventually comes second nature. Isn't that wierd?

    God. Where's the "Huh? Stripping is demeaning?!?!?" thread?


    Farrah I can't believe that shit happened! You KNOW it's bad when they are coming out from the kitchen! If I was having a moment of "feeling too polite" I'd @ least call Health Inspection Services later! It's a roach, yo, not a piece of hair! Damn that's nastayyy!

    And certain times of the year. Like now, when it's starting to cool down and all the little fuckers need someplace warm to spend the night.
    An infestation is one thing, but a roach every blue moon does happen. It sucks because as a restaurant it is against health code to have any pesticides on premises. So when you do find one, you have to call the exterminator and schedule him for a time when the restaurant will be closed for at least 4 hours after he sprays.

    Flies are one thing -they come from open doors and are damn annoying, but roaches/water bugs: EWWW! Not in my kitchen.
