We wanted some take out tacos on Sunday, after working really hard all day. Our favorite Mexican place was closed on Sunday, so I rang up another place that I don’t like nearly as much. It was a simple order, tacos, so I figured they couldn’t screw it up too bad.

I told the lady, “I’d like 4 fried flour tortilla tacos. I’d also like chips, a large mild sauce and a large cheese sauce with spinach in it.”
She said, “It’s sixteen dollars.”
I said, “OK.” I thought it was a little much for 4 tacos, but livable.

I get there..and the bill was $34.57!

I said, “I thought you said it was $16!”

She said, ”$16 is just for the cheese and spinach sauce.”

I think I muttered an expletive, which is not something I normally do in public. Something like, “You’re shittin’ me!”

$16 for melted cheese and spinach in a 12 oz Styrofoam cup.

When I looked at the tab closer, she had also charged me for the chips and the salsa, which normally come with the meal.

I didn’t say anything else, just paid for my order and left. Chalked up another reason not to go to that place. I’ll go to Taco Tico before I’ll go back there.

I posted this rant on Facebook, and a jelly came on and said she thought it would be a good question here.

What would your reaction be?
