If your favorite fast food joint has been taking a toll on your wallet lately, you’re not alone. Taco Bell customers recently took to Reddit to express their dissatisfaction with the high prices.
“I. Am. Sad,” the original poster wrote. Others jumped in to commiserate.
“Once they got rid of the $2 chipotle ranch chicken burrito, and $2 cheesy double beef burrito and raised the price of it to $2.79 while adding a lesser quality chicken burrito for $2.49, I haven’t been back,” wrote one person.
“Taco Bell is still decently cheap. The issue is that their good specialty items are all $3+ now,” another lamented.
“I ordered a crunch wrap and a small drink and it was f—ing $10.57,” a frustrated comment reads.
