Today, I was trying to clean the belt of my register at work at a grocery store. I noticed two strips of rubber stuck in the corner of the belt, and after pulling on them periodically all morning one finally came loose. It was a foot. I had been pulling at a dead rat trapped in the belt. FML

Everyone, settle down. All, and I mean ALL, grocery stores have rats. Mostly they eat garbage, if the store is careful about storing food. But this is one reason to ALWAYS wash your produce. A good store won't have too many rats, a bad store will have an infestation. The fact that you found a dead rat in your register belt suggests there's way too many of them.

Where do you live, Calcutta?! I can assure you that in civilized parts of the world there are at least SOME stores that don't have rats.

Where do you live #36, a plastic bubble? There is absolutely NO STORE (maybe a 1%) that has not at least had an incident with rats. And by incident I mean a "problem" or a "OMGRAT/SCREAM" moment. Doesn't matter how "civilized" your country is. And don't disregard my comment because of my location, I was born in the USA, and have lived in Guatemala for the past for five years - and actually, I've been in some stores that were cleaner than anything you'd ever see in the US.

Look on the bright side, at least you got it out sooner rather than later. It could have started to stink or may have popped out when a customer was there. For all we know, the latter happened.

Eh? How do you mistake a rat's paw for a piece of rubber? Rat paws look like... well, paws. They're pink, they've got claws, and they have small lumpy pads on the bottom a bit like dog paws. The top has fur. They don't feel like rubber, they feel like small non-stretchy skin-covered boney limbs. And they're pretty firmly attached, they aren't going to just pop off when you pull them. Sorry, but I don't see how this is possible. =S

Do you realize that it was in the belt of the register? Those things move. The rat probably got smashed so it would flatten.

Plus, it didn't just pop off. OP said she had been tugging at it all morning.
