I'll Have a Burrito and a Bag of Cash, Please

I've never been to a Taco Bell before, but may have to reconsider that decision if this is how they handle their cash.

Police are still searching for the young woman in her 20s, driving a silver SUV with a sunroof and a tire mounted on the back, who got $2,000 in cash instead of burritos at a Taco Bell drive-through.

Police on Friday, May 14, released video surveillance footage of the woman as she went through the drive through at the Taco Bell on Brown Street, close to the University of Dayton campus and Miami Valley Hospital.

Instead of a bag with her order, she got a bag containing the restaurant’s morning bank deposit — about $2,000.

An employee said she was working the drive-through window and mistakenly gave the customer the bank deposit. The manager explained it was store policy to put the bank bag containing the deposit in a Taco Bell bag. The manager would then drive up to the drive-through window, and an employee would hand him the bag.

Well, now everyone knows how they handle their money. They may need to come up with a Plan B. Maybe they can surreptitiously start using Del Taco bags to throw off would-be criminals.

I say if they're dumb enough to hand over $2,000 to an unwitting customer that's a small price to pay for their stupidity and police shouldn't be wastibng their time looking for the "suspect" who drove off with it.
