Texans take their Taco Bell serious
 

SAN ANTONIO ? Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.

San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name.

Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.

Police say the man fired on officers during a traffic stop after the restaurant incident.

well, that is a hefty markup. 50% overnight.

I would say his bail is in far excess of the extra $3.50 he had to pay for his burritos.

did he eat them before he went to the pokie?

And they are only 20% real beef. That is a steep markup - wouldnt you be enraged enough to kill people over fifty cents?

Our local Taco Bell shut down two months ago, saying they would re-open in a new location - the old Wendy's - On January 15th. Month later nothing. We just lost our taco bell.

Damn.. i miss taco bell.

Anyone who lives in Texas and eats at Taco Bell should be imprisoned.

Jesus lol.

50% markup is just gouging. If someone doesn't take a stand where will it end.

Fuck yeah. Go to Rudy's.

sounds like that's what is happening...

He spent $10 in ammo:winkwink:

i havnt had that place in a good year + ... i dont see how i ever enjoyed it

Nooo come on .. rudy's is the fast food of bbq ... dont...do...it (cept the ribs they are good)

I just laughed my balls off.... damn i love crazy people :)

This whole thread was entertaining.

We have much better taco shacks all over town. Taco Bell is Yankee food.

he spend more money firing the guns than buying the burro

:1orglaugh what a...mexican.

This man really counts his money to every cent. He doesn't want to waste money. Although, he wasted bullets that could have cost many dollars.

Taco Fail. Run for the Hills.

I've never eaten there. Winning.
