Recently, I was eating at the same taco place pretty much the same day, twice a week. I was paying with my debit card and on a whim while checking my account, I noticed they were charging me on days I wasn't eating there, for the same amount when I would stop and eat there. It actually happened three times where I had to have my card replaced so they couldn't keep running fraudulent charges on my card. Third time I just switched to cash and haven't had any issues since. I can understand having a cashless society, but then I think about how many times cash has saved me from dealing with fraud and my cc# leaking out on the internet. Or dealing with shady people from craigslist.

I don't get it, you kept going to the fraudulent place? How good are these tacos that you are happy to have your money stolen from your bank account?

  A) The bank credited me back the amount so it wasn't a big deal. b) The amount was minimal - around $7 per transaction c) I wasn't checking my account regularly because I thought once it was fixed, it was fixed. I was usually a few weeks behind when I was getting billed and when I was catching it. d) the tacos are magnificent and worth it.

      https://www.tacojohns.com/ https://www.tacojohns.com/ primarily a midwest, mountain region chain. The potato ole's are legendary. Anything with those is awesome like their meat and potato burrito. The taco bravo is awesome. I usually go there on Tuesday for the cheap hard shell tacos which are awesome too. If you're really hungry, they have a "six pack and a pound" deal which is six tacos and a pound of potato ole's.

        Every year on a bicycle trip (ragbrai.org) my family go to Taco Johns on Tuesday (Taco Tuesday!) and have a taco-eating contest. This year my middle son won, at 11.5 tacos!

        2nd place was 10. Third - 8. But these guys are all 6'4". When eating pancakes for a record, they top 30.
