They can be, but based off the description of events higher up the thread, I could see the Feds getting involved if this is accurate.

If you buy up all the retail space in one airport, I don't imagine that triggers interstate commerce law that would allow the feds to step in.

You underestimate how broadly the interstate commerce clause is applied.

Why wouldn't it? All but the smallest airports have an effect on interstate commerce 6 virtue of flights going to other states.

And when taco bell is on the flight that would be a factor.

Probably, but I don't think anyone knows how the Supreme Court would rule on the interstate commerce clause anymore.

Surprising that the legendary Taco Bell in Pacifica isn’t the most expensive one, though it is close. It has a fireplace, it serves margaritas, and it has a walk-up window for hungry surfers. https://californiaisforadventure.com/pacifica-taco-bell/

Taco Bell by the Sea! Maybe not the most expensive, but the most beautiful?

There used to be a Wendy’s overlooking Fredericksted harbor on St. Croix. Best deal going on the island with breath taking scenery.

Similarly, St. Thomas had a Taco Bell in Charlotte Amelia. It didn’t last long. The Hard Rock Cafe lasted a bit longer.

Forget the food, the views were incredible.

The app works better for the drive thru, and also for families with kids that like to push buttons on the giant ipad. Speaking of which, we stopped going to fast food burger places because 75% of them can’t make things like “a hamburger with no cheese or any other toppings except ketchup”, or “a cheeseburger with no other toppings”. I suspect an LLM that supports audio input would outperform most drive through window…

“A hamburger with no cheese or any other toppings except ketchup.” Try: “A hamburger with only ketchup.” When you take hundreds of orders a day, circular communications won’t stick.

Hamburger isn’t on the menu, so that leads to a cheeseburger with ketchup.

Once it led to a hamburger bun with just ketchup.

Did pinto beans and wheat (tortillas) prices increase that much at the commodity level?

Those are the two cheapest things in Taco Bell food. Why not ask about any of the other ingredients?

Their bean burrito prices have increased in proportion to the rest of their items.

What else is in a Taco Bell bean burrito? Onions, cheese, oil, salt. Something else?
