I'd say it depends on how much I liked their food in the first place.

If it reopened, it passed inspection. Frankly, the way roaches move
around, hardly any place where they can thrive is immune.

I remember the first time I came into personal contact with a roach.
We were renting - the exterminator said they go through the walls and
hitch rides when you least expect it.

Years after, I bought a package of fresh - really fresh meaning HOT
off the grill, fresh *handmade* tortillas... I put them in the front
seat next to me in the car and was salivating. I looked at the
package just in time to see a roach as big as a plate crawl out of it.
I'm don't litter as a habit, but I took that package and threw it out
the window as I drove down the street. I was soooo grossed out! I
never bought a whole package of handmade tortillas (hand wrapped in
white butcher paper) from them thereafter, but I did go in to buy
tortillas as singles.

OK, I'm a hand made tortilla junkie. <sigh> There are worse things
to be addicted to.
