Rodent Feces Allegedly Drips From Ceiling At Westfield Culver City Food Court

A patron was allegedly showered with rodent feces while dining at a Culver City food court, and she filmed it on her cellphone.

CULVER CITY, CA – A Westfield Culver City food court customer got an unexpected side-dish when she went to grab some food Saturday. Cellphone video allegedly shows rodent feces atop the lid of her beverage that she claims had dripped from the ceiling. This incident prompted an internal investigation, according to KTLA.

Meeyoung Choi said she recorded the video over the weekend after she was struck by something. At first, she thought children nearby were throwing food, which turned out not to be the case. Upon realizing what had likely landed on her, KTLA reported, Choi lost her appetite.

“I was shocked. I was disgusted. I was disturbed,” Choi, who was dining with her mother, told CBS2. “Middle of our meal, we started to feel something on our head, and we heard things dropping on our table.”

“We take the cleanliness and safety of our entire center very seriously. We are currently investigating the matter and are in contact with the customer to resolve this.”

The food court remains open, according to KTLA. A manager called Choi to apologize, she said, but she was insulted by the $25 gift card offered to her.

“Any person in their right mind would not go back to that court for a very long time," Choi said.

So what do you think – rodent droppings or something else? Would you continue eating at the food court?
