Well, the tariffs have kicked in at Taco Bell!

Was going to order a couple of Burrito Supremes. That changed when I saw the prices. $6.00 a piece! Yikes, I used to get 2 for that price a month ago! I’m in southern Utah at a truck stop! Thanks Dumpster Donnie!

...food was cheap and maybe not the best, but being a poor student, sure beat ramen. The place was always full of seniors as well. Now, forget about it. Making my own damn bean burritos now.
