A New Meaning for to Go

Yesterday I was eating my favorite fish tacos when I noticed a curious set of events.

A kid about 19 years old came in to the restaurant, engaged the manager who was working the counter. There was pleasant conversation. He wrote down some number on a napkin. He handed it to the manager who continued to talk.He went over with his big Macho green cup and helped himself to the soda machine. (Probably a summer promotion with free refills I surmised). When a customer came in, the manager got busy and was providing services for his customer.

The kid caught the eye of the meal assembler, and ordered a burrito to be made for him. He got the burrito and sat down and ate it.

No money exchanged hands and the manager, I am sure was aware to the transaction or rather lack of the transaction.

The rumor has it that the Taco Bell in Livingston had more food leaving out the back door than the front. Eventually it closed down. All the Taco Bells in the county are owned by one Morman family. This family would use members of its congregation to do the quality control. It was through them that they discovered such a leak. Not dissimilar to the food across the counter at the fish taco place.

The Livingston Taco Bell was one of the smallest around. It was built on the trailer concept. The state was working on the highway through the town to eliminate the only stop light on 99. The Taco Bell owners were not sure of the route the new road take so they made a temporary Taco Bell until plans were finalized. The permanent Taco Bell was never made. I hope I don't lose my fish taco place.

Have a great day
