is it really this bad?

I recently went to Taco Bell on Graham Rd. and Hudson in Stow, OH. I have been to this Taco Bell on a few other occasions. I don't frequent Taco Bell, but every now and again I have a hankering for super cheap, crappy food. And what better place then Taco Bell? Anyway, as with most restaurants, Taco Bell now accepts plastic payments, credit and debit cards are as good as cash. Actually, you would think they would be better then cash. I mean its harder to steal then cash, you would think that these fast food places would wholly embrace the plastic lifestyle. But this Taco Bell, and I am unsure if this is a company wide practice, I haven't really researched it, anyway, this Taco Bell accepts debit card. So, since I had no cash on me, it was convenient. I place my order, drive around to the window and am quoted the price again. Then I pay my bill, only to see I am actually charged more then I was quoted. There was a "convenience" fee to use my debit card. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You couldn't foot this bill for me Taco Bell? You couldn't cover this one? I mean, you are cutting corners on everything else, buying the E. Coli onions that are cheaper. Screwing over farm workers on tomatoes. Not using real beef, or even animal is my guess. You cheap, shifty, shady jerks had to pass on the minimal cost of using a debit card to the customer. That's fine, I have had a change of heart as well, the double cheese burger from the McDonald's dollar menu is a nice super cheap crappy food replacement. Nickle and diming people is going to get you just that, nickles and dimes. McDonald's now has my dollar.
