Let’s go ahead and assume this assclown, whatever his name is, patronized the Taco Bell on Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan, the one nearest to Wall Street. It is indeed an expensive location relative to ones out in the suburbs – a basic bean burrito that costs $1 on Long Island goes for $2.39 at Fulton Street. But that’s still fucking nine bean burritos before sales tax, or 10 if you skip the soda.
There is virtually no way an adult human could eat $28 worth of food at Taco Bell in one sitting and still be able to function the next day. If he ordered two of the $9 Modelo Especial drafts they have there and had a Crunchwrap plus a taco or two then okay, maybe it really was a $28 lunch.
Actually that might make a lot of sense as an explanation, that he was about to explain that part of the bill but suddenly realized mid-sentence that he probably shouldn’t be telling a national television audience he had been day drinking at Taco Bell on a Tuesday.
