If you eat fast food, you have to reckon with the reality that some of these burger/taco/sandwich joints are not the cleanest. Case in point, Whataburger in Balstrop, Texas. A user posted this video to Facebook, which appears to show a mouse jumping head-long into a deep fryer.
The video shows the mouse, scurrying atop a kitchen counter out in the open, before someone tries to grab him up. In his haste to escape, the mouse ends up in the fryer, and patrons of the restaurant lose they damn minds...
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention,” Whataburger said in a statement. “At Whataburger, cleanliness and food safety are top priorities for us. In this instance, we closed the restaurant out of an abundance of caution and notified pest control. The entire restaurant has since been cleaned and sanitized. We addressed this situation as quickly as possible, reinforcing procedures with our Family Members. While we’ll continue to be very diligent, it’s important to know there was no history of this type incident at this unit and there is no ongoing issue.”
