The viral clip, which has managed to accumulate over 503,400 views, includes an overlay text which reads: “$866 for two tacos and some cinnamon twists.”
In the comment section, viewers made jokes about the incident and speculated what could be the reason for the $866.30 showing up on the drive-thru display.
“Inflation hitting Taco Bell really hard,” one commenter said jokingly.
“She tried to swindle in her car payment,” another wrote in jest.
“Would’ve drove off expeditiously,” a third commented.
A few viewers linked the lighthearted moment to the reality of rising inflation and its effect on prices.
One stated, “By next year it will be a reality.”
Another remarked, “it’s gonna be like that soon.”
The Daily Dot has reached out to Janet via TikTok comment and to Taco Bell via press email.
