Staff claims the lizard “fell from the ceiling”

Not wanting to alert other customers, the woman approached the staff discreetly to raise her concerns.

She questioned them about the presence of the lizard, and one of the staff reportedly said it might have fallen in from the ceiling.

However, looking at the state of the lizard, she retorted, “How could it have just fallen in? Look at the lizard’s body — it’s been cooked until it’s falling apart.”

The woman claimed that she was left psychologically scarred by the incident.
