            Taco Time also has vegetarian dishes, and is actual food. A much better choice, but i dont think they are in Texas.

                Never seen them, so guessing not. We have so many taco places here, it's hard to compeet.

                    Bean Burrito + Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito

                    A normal Bean Burrito was $1.29, I asked for a cheesy bean, and they tried to ring up a Bean Burrito (at least that was the display) - again, that was $1.29.

                    I then noticed they had a cheese/rice/bean burrito on the $1 menu, so I asked - the response was - oh... you wanted the cheesy/rice burrito.. /sigh.. whatever..

                    So around here, assuming you got
                    bean burrito - $1.29
                    cheese/rice/bean burrito - $1
                    rice burrito - let's assume $0.50

                    That would put my total at $2.79 before 7% + 1.5% taxes are added.

                      Cheesy Bean AND RICE, or a Cheesy Bean Burrito? Not the same thing. Like everything, semantics matter. A cheesy bean burrito is a bean burrito with cheese. A Cheesy Bean AND RICE burrito is on their dollar menu.

                        You think it's only me that takes the words said literally. But in fairness, they have to. If they do what you say and it isn't what you want, you are wrong. If they guess that you ordered wrong and give you something else, then you can complain that they are wrong.

                        You can't mix product names with food or hypervisors. Same problems 🙂

                          A what? They don't offer anything like that here. And straight rice is $1.29 I think.

                            Then I noticed the full on name on the $1 menu. cheese/rice/bean - $1

                            Perhaps he just didn't hear me say cheese and bean burrito, and only heard bean burrito.

                              and I just realized - still tired I guess, you were ordering only 2 items, not three.

                                It doesn't matter what you order, you're still going to get a colon blaster.

                                          There was also no mention of rice. These are names, not descriptions. And the bean burrito already has cheese, so it would not have appeared on the screen. Had you ordered it with beans, it would not have appeared either. I feel like this is a language issue, the idea that the product names matter is the issue. You ordered as clear as can be a "bean burrito" and that's what they rang up. What you said isn't ambiguous at all, it's absolutely what they did. It just wasn't what you intended.

                                          This is like people saying they installed Zen Server or a Xen server when they meant a XenServer. All are discrete, very precisely different items.

                                          This is where semantics and accuracy are literally the same thing.

                                            But the person taking the order got it EXACTLY right. In every way. They got the bean burrito with cheese, exactly as he ordered it.
