Would you stop going to a great restaurant if you saw a mouse? defector.com/and-now-for-...

Harry: Last Sunday my wife and I took my parents out for my dad's birthday, to what we thought would be a fine-but-average neighborhood gastropub near their house. To our surprise, the food was much, much better than we thought it would be, and all of us loved what we ordered. As we're waiting for our check, I see a mouse scurry across the dining room floor and jump into the booth next to us. I don't think anyone else in the restaurant noticed (certainly not the two people seated in the booth the mouse jumped into). So I discreetly notified the staff, settled up, and left. On Wednesday we saw my parents again and agreed that, in spite of the mouse sighting, we enjoyed our meal so much that we want to run it back at the same place. Are we insane to have been so nonchalant about this?
