Is it ghetto of me to buy something from a grocery store after I saw rats in its meat section?


I was at the Fine Fare on 116th and Lenox two weeks ago and I along with other customers saw a rat running through the meat section. Now, I never buy meat from Harlem stores and now I and you both know why. (Whole Foods or Fairway). But that Fine Fare has the only yogurt that I can buy without going out of my way. So Here's my question: If I buy goods that are packaged and wrapped up, is it ghetto of me to buy it even if I saw a rat running through that same store's meat section? As PAPA Bill O'Reilly would say: WHAT SAY YOU?

well when your alternate food sources are so far away, what can you do?
I think you're cool for the packaged stuff. just because you didn't see rats in other stores doesn't mean they're not there. since you did see rats though, confirming what you already knew, I think your Fairway and Whole Food runs are smart for things like meat.
just be sure to wash off your cans good- don't want rat urine and feces going in when you open it.

come on now, it's manhattan. every grocery store has rats. whole foods and fairway just have better maintainance and weekly spraying. i agree wash all packaging and make sure that there are no nibble marks in the boxes

Maybe its just me, I don't buy anything from any store with VISIBLE rats! Hell to the no!

If you can avoid going there, Roc.

It's just you butterfly. If I see a rat (or evidence of rats) - I will not be back in that store for a couple of days.
