A man shoots up a Taco Bell because burrito price went up
A disgruntled Texas taco lover shot at police and triggered a 3 1/2-hour standoff after he became upset that the price of his favorite fast-food snack had gone up 50 cents.
The man, whose name was not disclosed, allegedly flew into a rage Sunday when a drive-through attendant at a San Antonio Taco Bell told him that the price of the Beefy Crunch Burrito had risen to $1.49 from 99 cents, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
"They did use to be 99 cents, but that was just a promotion," restaurant manager Brian Tillerson told the paper.
The man had ordered seven of them, adding an extra $3.50 plus tax to his bill, the paper said.
This doesn't surprise me.... when I worked at Starbucks some guy flipped **** when his coffee went up FIVE cents. Like had a huge fit, and stormed out.
