GREEN BROOK, NJ — A difference of $2.18 has caused one New Jersey couple to sue Taco Bell, according to a report on mycentraljersey.com.
The couple, Nelson Estrella-Rojas and his wife, Joanna Estrella, ordered two Chalupa Cravings Boxes from the Route 22 restaurant in Green Brook, according to the report.
The bill came to $12.99, which included 81 cents of sales tax. The couple states in their lawsuit that they should have been charged just $10, as the boxes cost $5 a piece, according to the website.
