American Mirror: Seeing a rat scurrying around in a restaurant may be enough for any diner to lose her appetite, but apparently the experience is now good enough for a discount, too.
A patron of Fat’s Asian Bistro in Folsom, California allegedly saw a rat while eating at the restaurant last Thursday, claiming it “ran around her feet” during her meal.
Hot 98.3 reports the woman “who believed she would be speaking to a manager at Fat’s Asian Bistro after reporting the incident, was instead handed a receipt with a $30.95 ‘SEEN RAT’ discount.”
That amounted to a roughly 30% decrease in her $116.80 bill.
For 8 years we had a rat in the white house. No discounts though. That rat charged a premium to boot.
No MSG! You eat too many crab legs! You go now and take rat with you!
Fine print:
You get the discount after delivering it to the cook.
Rat Run Discount
How much off for each roach?
Savvy marketing. In my local Trader Joe’s, there is a teddy bear which is hidden in plain sight every day. The kids get a lollipop if they find it.
What? They made a blockbuster movie about a rat chef, didn’t they?
why is there a tail on my egg roll?
Don’t eat at any restaurant
$116.00 for Chinese food?! That’s a LOT of Chinese food. At the cost of noodles, rice and chopped celery, the restaurant still made a good profit after the discount.
CA, the most regulated state in the country doesn’t have a regulation on the books about shutting down restaurants with a rat problem apparently bad enough they have a ‘key’ on the register that print “Seen Rat” and calculate the discount? Whoa.
I wonder what the menstrual blood on the burger discount will be?

Just managements way of keeping track of the number of rat escaping the kitchen.
Solly, flesh out of cat. Thank you for dining at Ho Lee Fuk’s!
That restaurant needs to be more careful in the future; the patrons aren’t supposed to see the rats.
We had an Asian restaurant catch fire here about 15 years ago. Fire fighters reported seeing dozens of rats running out of the building. I’m sure they are all back now.
SEEN ROSIE ODONNELL: Discount 150%
ha! I’ve been to this place with my fiancee’! I think it’s on Sutter Street. Very pricey.
“You been here too long. You eat too much! You go now! Chop! Chop!”
Wow, if you get a 30% discount for seeing a live rat on the premises then just go eat at a place where DemoncRATs are known to hang. Discount in the bag!
damn – I only got $1.99 for a cockroach….
Is there an app for that?
Wut! NO DOG HERE, you get wat!
