Yeah, it's unfortunate that we were in bankruptcy court at the time, and the lawyers insisted we all stay quiet about it.

I guess it wasn't uncommon; workers didn't have sanitary places to go while in the fields. Some sick worker took a leak on the produce, and thousands of miles away someone died.

My source is the store's assistant manager. I was an AM at another store at the time. Chi-Chi's got a bunch of bad debt pushed on them by their parent company, who had 2 other chains that weren't doing well. They were looking for a buyer just before this hit. We even had Vince McMahon look at a couple of stores in the area. When this hit, it was the nail in the coffin.
