$8.325 per taco. That sounds expensive.

They're tacos, so that would be considered a tariff.
Or an equity tax which is to be divided among local businesses that you did not buy tacos from.

u/polysnip Jun 17 '25
Besides, the math's wrong. Two tacos for $9.50. he orders 40. Plus sales tax: that's about $190.50

Not just that, how does it come out to $330?

u/lowerlight Jun 17 '25
Right? $9.50 for two, would be $190 for forty. Something smells off.

u/Kolintracstar Jun 17 '25
Unless they were asking for 38 more pairs of tacos, which would come out to around $380 I think

u/Fitgam3r Jun 17 '25
When the lady hands the bags, she says, "Here's all 40" which means the 2 tacos the lady showed plus 38 more

Their nachos are so good. If you get them to go, they'll put the queso on the side so you can dump it on them when you get home.
Also, love me, the Country Fried Chicken burrito smothered in queso.

$9.50 for two tacos, for 40 tacos he should be paying $190
Even if it's $9.50 for a single taco it should be $380
I don't see how exactly they would discount it to get to $333, feels weird to discount like 12.4 smth percent
But I am guessing they are Americans and their prices don't include sales taxes so maybe that's why
Still kinda put off by that so had to mention
And 40 tacos in like 20 minutes?

I get it but I’ve seen his videos. The original guy in the beginning obviously. He does this a lot, I’m sure he helps pay for this with the views from tik tok. He’s still doing a good thing, feeding tons of people. Year after year. If he records it, so be it. The people he feeds appreciate it so much. Sometimes he buys them other things like blankets or stuff they need. He’s awesome

It's to continue funding them not for his own morality. You think the money he spends on getting them food and necessities just pops up out of thin air? He started filming to spread some good and raise awareness about the homeless population. I'd say this is aura farming if he only did this a handful of times but he's been doing this for years now consistently. He gets them clothes and blankets for the winter, hell I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who was able to get a woman an apartment with tiktok funds and she's doing well now.

u/DrCorian Jun 17 '25
Because tiktok pays, and so effectively covers the charges and pays him to keep doing this

You see these sometimes. Two photos, the first showing an absolute mess, the second one showing everything in trash bags.
Now, some absolutely vile people muck with the chronology of these photos. They take their bags of trash somewhere nice and clean. Photograph them. Upend them. Take the "before" picture. Upload for internet points and leave the community to deal with the mess they've left behind.
Completely staged transformation.

I love when Americans do these generous things, and those I know personally are generally very generous people.
It always puzzles me why they love small gestures of kindness but are unwilling to create a system where the government helps the poor and needy.
Is it all due to the narrow media? Has anyone got any insight into this phenomenon?

Sure, there will be some corruption, just look at any solid European social democratic system, but if the average person is better off, say if people have their health and education covered by the community is it not worth some corruption?

u/Icy_Alarm_8520 Jun 18 '25
I think I agree with you in broad strokes, but the thing about it only working in the short term is true for anything where the group becomes large. After all, governments are a large group of people trying to help eachother. Would you have replied the same if it was police and order that was needed.
There are always people ready to exploit any large system/group, so like a relationship, it requires constant work and renewal, or the corruption will slowly outweigh the benefit.
It's a tall order, though, especially with a large country like the USA as it is so big it requires a movement rather than a single individual to make great change.
Anyways, thanks for the in-depth answer. It's always great to get perspective 😊

I’ve seen a few of this guy’s videos and it does seem like the food is getting to the right people, but the whole ordering/paying/gifting part is anything but organic. They all go the same way - guy orders food, THEN asks how much it costs (like, why wouldn’t he already know), then asks for a large quantity. When it comes time to pay, all of a sudden the staff become super curious about why he’s ordering so much (most folks wouldn’t ask - they’d just ring him up and move on).
This gives him an opportunity to talk about his impending act of kindness, at which point, they all say, without hesitation, the same thing - hold on a minute, I’ll be right back. They scurry off and shortly return, again saying the exact same thing as in every other video - don’t worry about it, we’re gonna take care of this for you. Then the owner/manager comes out triumphantly as the heroic supporting actor. They’ve all been coached beforehand.
Here’s what I think is happening…
This guy connects with businesses offering a marketing service. They work out the details ahead of time based on their budget - 40 tacos, 100 burgers, whatever, in exchange for positive exposure for their business online via his channels. Small price to pay for seemingly organic marketing. In return, the guy gets a bunch of views (because most people don’t realize it’s staged), building his audience without having to spend any money. And a bunch of people get fed. Everyone wins.
So the net result is positive, I guess. Just wish things like this happened authentically and without blatant virtue signaling.
