Starbucks Located At 30 Rock Has Live Mice

If a bizarre "Mister PeePee" and his mission to masturbate in every Starbucks bathroom in the city wasn't enough to gross you out, leave it to a batch of mice infesting four Starbucks, including NBC's 30 Rock location, to do the trick.

The New York City Health Department's latest inspection results are up and yes, live mice were recorded at four Starbucks locations: 30 Rock, Zucotti Park, Penn Station, and Park Avenue.

A December 27, 2011 inspection landed the 30 Rock location a shameful letter grade of C, while racking up 28 violation points.

The department's letter grading system has recently come under criticism from many of the city's restaurant owners who claim the system is inherently punitive.

Coincidentally, 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin already has a bias against the coffee chain. Back in September, Baldwin tweeted about an "uptight" Starbucks barista with an attitude problem at an uptown location. Soon after, a former loyal customer found the label "B*tch" marked on her coffee.

Better to be infested with live mice then dead ones.

I lived in lower Manhattan for 5 years. I thought mice were just part of the experience. Rats the size of cats I drew the line at and had to kill. This was the 1970's though.

I saw RATS on the Starbucks that's near 34th street/ 6 avenue? The one near the Empire State. No joking. You should have seen all these Korean ladies going nuts.

I hear the Blond Roast has savory hints of underground subway track muck with top notes of do-do.

The mice are thinking, "can a mouse get a decent cup of coffee around here."

Starbucks, the McDonalds of coffee shops. This coffee may have been regarded as good 20 years ago, but it's stale, over priced substandard. Even the mice are running away.
