OK… here’s a pics:
Our conversation with the cashier went something like this…
Cashier: Welcome to Taco Bell… We are out of beef.
Us (in unison): You’re out of beef?!
Cashier’s Manager: We are out of beef…
Cashier: We have steak…
Us: OK, we’ll have 4 #4s and 1 #7… with steak.
Cashier: I have 4 #4s and 4 #7s with steak..
Matt: No, 1 #7… 4 #4s…
Cashier: OK
Us (contemplative): What are we going to get on our extra taco if there is no beef?
Cashier: You can substitute steak or chicken for an extra 1.50…
Us: Substitute for what? There’s no beef anyway… can we just get the steak?
Cashier: No… it’s an extra cost to substitute steak/chicken for no beef.
Brad: Let’s substitute beans (brilliant)
Cashier: OK… we can do that… so it’s 7 #4s and 4 #7s…
Brad: No… it’s 82 #4s…
….
(snickering)
….
Cashier: OK… drive around…
That was a 10-15 minute conversation… many things were left out (including the fact that he asked for our drinks like 3 times).
P.S. Bean tacos are a bad idea…
