I just read about this on MSN.  Just horrible.

Yuck! I have never shopped there. Thank goodness!

Sounds like the Arkansan rats had quite a party!  I'd never buy food or drugs at these stores.  Heck, I never shop there, period.

I think any store can have/get rats...all the shipments that come in....I have heard of bed bugs found in NEW CLOTHING in stores etc .....they came in from other countries where the clothes are manufactured.

After they fumigated the distribution center, they collected 1,100 dead rats, according to reports.

@SeaMaiden yeah I think that's pretty accurate. Hubs was and still is in grocery store back stock areas. He told me I'm not going to tell you what I see running across the floor and what peeks out when I move a box.  As long as bugs and rodents have a food source, they will be with us. Yes, poison boxes control some of it, but they breed and multiply so quickly there isn't a thing we can do.  

I remember a long time ago, I was in a Macy's dressing room and a mouse was running wild back there. I nearly had a coronary.

Disgusting. Glad I have never shopped in those dollar stores. Yuck!

I should change that to I have never shopped in ANY dollar stores. Would never buy any items that go inside or on the outside of my body.

mice won't bother you. they're more scared of us then we are of them.

Rats, are another story.  I set trips out in the garage for mice all the time, when, killed, throw 'em out and reset the traps with peanut butter.

Why am I not shocked at this.
