Unhygienic conditions are reported

The footage shows several rats jumping around and eating sweets stored in glass cases, highlighting a worrying lack of hygiene. Despite the presence of customers making purchases, the rats appeared to move freely and seemingly unfazed by their surroundings.

As the footage unfolds, an employee stands near the display case but does nothing to address the rat problem. The apparent disregard for hygiene raises questions about the store's food safety practices and customer awareness, as many customers appear unaware of the unsanitary situation taking place in close proximity.

However, HT.com cannot independently verify the authenticity, date and time of the video.
