I tried the new taco truck (tent) outside Ralphs. I can report the tacos are good (pastor on a spit). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What marred the visit experience after getting sundries at Ralphs, where I made a point to get cash-back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Approaching the young muchache at the “register”, before I ordered, a young white guy, seemingly well-to-do and I hear him say seemingly after ordering or eating, “Do you take American Express?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Come-on bro” is what I was thinking in my Jared impression (Big Brother 25.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chime in “There is an ATM at Ralphs.” Not including my own cash back story. He looks back at Ralph’s at first happily\/expectantly and then says something to the effect “that won’t work either”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dude responds saying essentially “No money in the ATM.” The muchacha at the register directs him to a sign with a phone number saying Zelle. I had not heard of this app-service, cryto? This got above my pay-grade with no MSW degree (social work). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At two dollars a taco I probably could have covered his bill, but chose not to do that for the sake of this story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this was some taco tent “scheme” I would have been more keen to a direct appeal from him to cover his meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dude decides to call a friend to have his friend Zelle the funds to the taco truck (tent). In any case I didn’t stick around to see resolution. Calling a friend for Zelle– like I said c’mon bro, A.E. is like a Canadian looney in Tijuana to these guys. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
