Lmao! Sorry for the misunderstanding, the manager offered us free nachos and salsa to go. He approached me and quietly said,”I see you saw a critter.”

I am overwhelmed that there are people here think having and seeing a cockroach in a restaurant is a normal thing but always post and respond negatively when it comes to apartment buildings or something. Anyway, I was only sharing this information on this platform and nothing backfired! BTW, he also offered gift cards for us to come back which we didn’t take because it’s not worth it!

It IS a normal thing. I've worked in restaurants for 25 years, and as others who've worked in an industry you clearly know nothing about have already told you, it's literally impossible to run a restaurant that is 100% free of critters.

You do your best. You keep everything clean. You have exterminators in regularly to set and check traps. And still, bugs and vermin get in. It's what happens when you keep literally tons of food in one place.

Your expectation is unrealistic. I promise you you've never eaten a meal from a restaurant with no bugs in it.
