## Resource

A Starbucks at Boston’s South Station was shut down after shocking video surfaced showing rats feasting on food and crawling on registers—prompting a health inspection that found droppings, fruit flies, and serious violations. The store, which passed its last inspection in December, now faces closure until it proves it’s cleaned up, retrained staff, and eliminated pests. Commuters are outraged and vow to avoid the spot until it’s safe again. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
