Figures. I take a day off and all hell breaks loose. Not really, but drama, drama, drama.
We've had problems the last month or so with one elusive rat. It's found a way up through the sewer/drainage lines and up through the service area. It's been seen twice at night and once it ran across the bar scaring the crap out of the other bartender. It's figured out how to either squeeze through the drain covers or push them out of the way. The exterminator has tried everything, but hasn't been able to catch it.
My wife keeps the kitchen spotless and this is really starting to bother her. Something about it being a reflection of her kitchen, blah blah blah. No way of arguing with a woman scorn by a rat.
Tonight it ran across the service area and realized it was a bit too early for dinner and tried to run back, but took a wrong turn and was trapped under the server reach-in. The servers started freaking out, when the dishwasher walks up to see what's going on. He starts talking in spanish to one of the cooks then reaches under the fridge, grabs the rat, pulls it out and snaps it's neck. Eyes pop out and all. He looks at the cook and says "That's the way we do it in Mexico."
That's how you earn a raise in California.

Rats can be a big and unsolvable problem in older dwellings. They say rats will still be here long after man is extinct.
I once worked in a kitchen where the mexican dishwashers would literally run out of the kitchen when they finished. Evidentally, over the years, the resident rat population had been conditioned to start their own dinner when the lights went out!
No matter how clean a kitchen is it's going to have vermin at one time or another. You're just lucky your pest isn't employed there!
