Taco Bell Canon
For breakfast, I had two Taco Bell bean burritos, hold the onion, plus lettuce and tomato, for $2.44.
When I tried to buy two Taco Bell bean burritos, hold the onion, plus lettuce and tomato, for $2.44 this evening, the cashier had to fetch a manager who knew a password.
Apparently the computer/register won't let them charge the same credit card the same amount at the same store on the same day. Fair enough -- it'd be easy enough for a shady franchisee to double-charge customers and claim it was a mistake.
Hmm. How 'bout that.

1. The useful consumer trivia
2. The fact you went to the same Taco Bell for two meals:
at first, I thought, this man has an unimaginative palate
then I thought, no, he's on a budget
then: No, he's in a hurry
then: No, no. Based on the title of the post, he must be creating a performance art piece.
3. vicarious living. The last time I ate at a Taco Bell was twenty years ago. My buddy says to me, "You ever notice how dinner at Taco Bell is cheaper than a can of dog food?"
Never went back.
