So what is the point of the Starbucks' employees griping about the infestation? Why couldn't this problem be resolved at the Starbuck's local or regional level (or with a call to the Health Department)? Of course, Starbucks will now correct the problem. But the ultimate result of this negative publicity will be lost customers. Seems kind of pointless in the long run.

A barista can't do too much to take care of vermin during their shift--it's the job of the managers to take care of the bigger stuff by buying traps or ordering the exterminator or whatever.

Yeah, but what about the RAT infestation we have in the White House?.

Wait, shouldn't the employees be doing their job and keeping the establishment spotless to prevent the vermin infestation? Why are they complaining about themselves not performing their duties? Apologies in advance if I sound ignorant cause I've never worked in the food industry.

That inflatable rat in the background must be the hardest working inflatable rat in the city. About two months ago I saw it propped with some protesters outside of a CVS pharmacy on 6th Ave and 25th. The owner of that rat has quite the niche market.

haha yeah, WHICH one in Union Square? The one on Union Sq. West and 17th Street? The one on Union Sq. East and 15th? Or the one in the Barnes and Noble on Union Sq. North? Sigh

Actually, any city cat can take care of those mice, pronto. My cat took down a pidgeon who decided to hang by our kitchen window.

Everything above 14th Street has rats and roaches, too. But a better thought; there's two Starbucks at Union Square. The west Starbucks or the east? I'd guess west, but that's just speculation.

To be honest, that don't look too bad. I've seen LES and other Manhattan area apartments with worse. It's really a fact of life when living in NYC. Don't want vermin and roaches, get your own house and handle it your way. I have noticed more flying type insects around, some as tiny as no see ums that get through some mosquito netting.

Everything below 14th St. has rats and roaches. What exactly is news here?
