The taco truck down the street raised their prices by $0.50 and people lost it
I've been going to El Fuego Móvil on 5th for three years. They bumped their al pastor tacos from $2.50 to $3.00. Saw someone in line yell at the owner about inflation. Like, it's fifty cents. Still the best deal in town. Has anyone else seen customers get angry over tiny price bumps?

...and I bet that guy yelling went right back to the truck the next week. Fifty cents isn't exactly the end of the world, it's less than what people pay for a pack of gum. If El Fuego Móvil is still using that spicy green salsa and the same fresh tortillas, they could charge four bucks and I'd still be in line. Some folks just like to complain because they think everything should cost what it did in 1995. Owners have to pay for gas and ingredients too, it's not like they're getting rich. Honestly, if getting mad over a half a dollar makes them feel better, let them yell.

Right @johnh82, maybe we should start a GoFundMe for that guy to cover his half-dollar trauma. The salsa alone is worth the price of admission, inflation be darned!
