SAN ANTONIO – Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.
San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name.
Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.
Police say the man fired on officers during a traffic stop after the restaurant incident.
Hmm, so let's see, you've got about three options here. 1) Refuse the purchase due to the price increase, 2) Sack up and pay the money, 3) Shoot the employee with an air gun and follow that up by firing at police officers with an assault rifle.
Going crazy over $3.50? Option #4....and the best option, imo....instead of firing an assault rifle at the police, stick the barrel in your mouth and squeeze the trigger to rid the world of one stupid POS.
They get busted by the FDA for selling imitation grub, go on an utterly ridiculous PR campaign to try and pull it out, change the name of the mystery foods to "beefy" and "cheesey," because neither meet the legal definition of what they're supposed to represent, and they follow up this disaster by...
raising prices.
God put certain people on this earth to give you money, and your responsibility is to take it.

Of all the shitty fast food places, Taco Hell is the shittiest. Shit is straight up revolting even by Micky D standards.
