Rent doubling is real though. I get that you're mad about the 50 cents, and the smaller portions suck, but that truck's gotta pay the bills too. A bus depot spot in most cities costs way more than a random corner. I mean, if they were charging $12 and skimping, yeah, call them greedy. But half a buck? That's like the cheapest price jump in taco history. Most places around here went from $2.50 to $4 per taco in the last two years. Let's be real, you're still getting a deal.

Does proper crimp pressure matter more than having a pass-through tool?

Yeah that totally sucks for him, standing in one spot for six hours is rough.
