This entitled restaurant customer’s complaint will have you hollering into next week

Latest in an occasional series, outrageously entitled customer of the week goes to the person who complained to this restaurant about their prices and it’s a proper jaw-dropper.

The letter of complaint is headed ‘From the desk of a former long term customer’ and if you think that’s not an encouraging start, just wait until you get to the end.

The extraordinary missive just went viral on Reddit after it was shared by Kabechet who said: ‘Interesting letter received today.’

Just in case it’s tricky to read.

Sir/Ma’am

I have been a customer since the 1980s when I first obtained my driving licence. If I were to add up the monetary number of all the hard shell tacos consumed, it would be in the thousands of dollars.

I visited your store recently to purchase 3 each hard shell being informed my bill would be over $5. I ask the female to repeat cost, I said no thanks. I departed, making no purchase.

I recall paying $.69 cents for this poor Mexican street food. I am done. No longer a customer. The price is simply ridiculous. I did NOT vote for Florida amendment 2 in 2020.

I do not agree with paying a minimum of $15 hourly for a 16 year old kid much less a 30 year old adult to toss some lettuce, cheese and ground beef in a cheap corn fried shell. Sorry for your loss but my gain.

It’s the attached receipt to show how much their prices have increased – from 1999! – that really takes the biscuit.

Not only did they keep it for 23 years – they managed to find it.

And here are our favourite things people said about it.

‘Man I wish I had a place in my city with $5 for three tacos …

‘Also who keeps a taco receipt from 1999???’

‘Probably just looked on the bottom of their Ford fiesta.’

‘1999 was 23 years ago. What costs the same today that it did in 1999?? Everything has gone up lol.’

‘I, too, would enjoy paying 1999 prices for absolutely everything. Where is this person shopping that only Taco Bell is impacted by inflation?’

‘Why can’t YOU toss some lettuce, cheese and ground beef on your own taco shell yourself then?’
