Ugh. Even worse than the finger, I think
An Unpleasant Surprise
A little warning about the next story if you are eating dinner. The story might not be conducive to digestion. And that is exactly what a woman felt today when she bit into a pastry at a local coffee house.
It's the usual scene at the Starbucks at 16th And "U" Streets in Northwest, and that is people talking a little, drinking a little and a little noshing.
But the talk at one table is not a pleasant one.
That's where 23-year old Ayanna Winslow talks about the pastry she says she bought minutes earlier.
The rest of the story is not for the queasy.
No, the pastry didn't have a finger or body part in it. But DC health inspectors are convinced the offending item is exactly what Ayanna Winslow figured it was and that is a large rodent dropping.
Certainly rats are not uncommon in the city, and many restaurants are cited by health inspectors who discover rodent droppings.
Ayanna Winslow and a companion left with an apology and the evidence in a bag, and yes she told us they were a calling a family lawyer.
Starbucks confirms it uses outside vendors to provide pastries.
In a statement the company says it regrets the incident occurred.
They point out the 'U' Street store's last health inspection was in November.
The company claims they received a 94% rating and that there was no evidence of rodent activity at the time.
A spokesman for the DC Health Department has not returned our calls.

Damn Starbucks Coffee. They're no better than Wal-Mart. They push in, trying to close all local coffee shops. I refuse to go, because there has better coffee shops here. I don't want coffee from a company in Washington when there are locally owned coffee shops.
