That’s the issue though, I think she genuinely thought I gave her the 5, which made her think I was being dishonest.

There are enough libs out there to take care of the food truck dreamers.

you're a good person. but you made an honest transaction, nothing to feel bad about. i'm sure they will enjoy that crisp $20 when they find out where she put it

They have a food trailer with kitchen they either own or make payments on. They pay for the tag. Parking permits. Business license. Health Dept permits. Fuel costs. Food. Cooking supplies. Utensils, napkins, plates, etc. Cleaning. Maintenance.

You didn't kill them. They don't think you killed them. You're not really in as much of a position to condescend as you think you are.

If you're really just upset that they think you're an a-hole then you're just a little bitch. You're not worried about their feelings, it's your own feelings

If they’re doing their register correctly, it will balance at the end of the day and they will know you were right.

I always thought this was a good idea until I realized just how much damage earbuds and headphones do to people's hearing.

Now I scream it so that I am sure they heard, and I have WITNESSES.

You’ve never been wronged? It makes you feel bad. I don’t want them feeling bad.

So sue me

I’m sure they wrote down your license plate info.

MS-13 is probably going to rape and murder you now.

They're going to count the till and see you were right. Don't sweat it.

If they are keeping a drawer count, which they should be just for the sake of basic accounting, then they will see that the drawer will balance at the end of the day. Or it won't balance, and the truth of this story is that you stole $15 from them.

First mistake: Getting food from a trailer.

Second mistake: getting a taco from a trailer.

Taco in the morning, trots in the afternoon.

Yeah, a lot of food trucks (don't know if that's the same thing) actually tend to have really good food for a decent price because they don't have to pay the same overhead as a traditional restaurant.

People keep posting that, you really think a couple in a food trailer balance out their cash register? Or keep track of how many tacos they sold?



I wouldn't feel bad about it either way, but if they don't then I really wouldn't feel bad. Why use that as an excuse to feel bad for them, it's their business and their responsibility. It's not like they are entering into hedge transactions. They sold you a taco and if they think they got shorted that's their fault for not keeping records.
