And it's wrong.

Rodent problems !!! dead dried out mouse in customers half-drinken cup of tea. She thought that little "tickle" against her lip was the floating tea bag, until she attempted to remove it.
Until this case is resolved, I can't mention which location, but it's one of the locations mentioned ( not on Rhawn, bustleton, or Frankford Ave)

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying the dead mouse in the tea thing. You want to tell me that some clerk didn't see a mouse in the teacup before pouring it in?

I aint buyin it ...

It's not wrong in this case, like I said I personally know the former owner and he(well his "minority" Asian wife and probably members of her family who had NOTHING to do with the place) received a loan/grant/whatever through some city connected "special program" to help them open this business. He spoke to me several times about it and I know for a fact he contacted a few local pol's for help on it too. BTW, they convienently "flipped" this biz after a couple years. They played the system for thier own financial gain. Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree on this.

Fair enough, they may have received some money for this, but in all likelihood, it wasn't enough for the entire business.

The bags are possibly in each cup, long before the water goes in there. That may explain how it was missed. The bag must have been on top of the dead mouse.

This is not a third-hand story, and I am not fabricating any part of this. As sick as this may sound, it is 100% true.

That's what you get for buying tea(or anything else) at DD, btw you didn't rule out Torresdale/Cottman.
