She has it ass-backwards. The price is not a demand based on the emotions of the vendor. The price is what the market will bear. If her 19 dollar tacos with no sides are worth it, people will be lined up out the door.
If a taco as good or nearly as good is found next door with some rice and beans also for 8 bucks, they will have the line out the door.
Yep, the woman doesn’t get it. People pay $19 for three tacos so they won’t have to eat with Mexicans.
