There were several empty tables around the garden at a Shake Shack in New York City the other night, and that, according to Grub Street New York, was because at least three mice kept emerging from the plants and approaching tables like beggars.

Three or four parties cluelessly sat down only to notice the furry fiends and either moved their tables away or scampered off with their tails between their legs. Of course, this isn’t anywhere near as scandalous as a chef caught tonguing toads; Shake Shack is located in a public park, after all, and mice have been spotted before.
