Paul,
I know several patrons who do notice, and do not patronize these
chem-joints. Also I can often tell which roach species lives in the kitchen
by its odor, when I enter the door. I do not patronize these places either.
It is much easier to run a clean kitchen than poson the pests and risk
poisoning the patrons.
