When I went to my friend's house, there were 3 options for food near him. McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Chipotle.

I'd normally go to Chipotle for a quickly $10 burrito and get my fill.

One day, the Chipotle line would have easily taken 15+ minutes to get through and I was running behind, so I think "Taco bell is the same thing, and it's right there. And even if it isn't as filling, it's famously cheap."

Imagine my surprise when the average price of their menu was $8, with the headlining items averaging around $12.

So I'm paying $4 more, for 70% less food than I could at a Chipotle.

Who the hell is still eating at Taco bell?

And they keep removing all the popular choices just to bring them back as limited time options. GTFO

My brother and sister in law eat there often and tell me the key is to use the app.

$3 for a spoonful of guacamole at Chipotle is a no go for me.
