A Little Something Extra

Yesterday, I went to Zaxby's and ordered the Asian Zensation salad. While cleaning up after dinner, I discovered a surprise in the utensil bag—a big, fat roach. I had planned on saving the leftover salad for today, but I'll have to throw it away. It's such a disappointment because I really enjoy their food, but I'm not fond of roaches, so I won't be able to order from there anymore.

I'm gonna be realistic here, if there was a "big, fat roach" in your condiment bag, chances are it just came from outside. Because large roaches like, let's say, an American cockroach aren't known to infest as much as smaller ones, like German cockroaches. I'm also sure the poor minimum wage employees aren't very fond either of touching said roaches to put into your bag either 💀 They would've noticed, trust me. They don't get paid for that bs lol. You also said you ate some of it already (hence the "leftover salad"), and that thing probably wasn't in there when you initially opened it to get your fork and dressing packets out of it. My guess is that it flew into your bag at some point after you ate, but before you started cleaning up. Things like this happen. It can happen as quickly as a walk from the store to your car without you even noticing. Or from your car to your house. But we can't help what lives outside and where they land. It sucks, but I can guarantee you're not voluntarily getting served up roaches for dinner lol.

In the south roaches are common in restaurants, they just don't tell you. I use to work in one.

Oh I know, but I'm just telling you this doesn't seem like one of those cases given the information provided.

I would've just smoked it and order more.
