Watch your credit card statements and get receipts!

I was taking a walk across the Mall on Saturday and made the bad decision to get a falafel at one of the dozens of food trucks on 4th. Guy said it was supposed to be around 11 bucks. Charged me 38 bucks for a single pita wrap without my knowledge.

I paid by credit card but they never handed me the iPad or a receipt.

I'm disputing the charge but I don't have a receipt for evidence.

Those food trucks aren’t legally there. The NPS made a big deal of towing away some of their junk cars they use to keep the parking spots and issuing fines… for a day or two… and now it’s back to how it was.

Considering they get away with illegally operating on the Mall, I don’t want to know what their food standards or their fuel use is like. Walking by them is like inhaling a balloon of diesel.

I think they are legally licensed by the DC government to sell there. But idk about food standards. My boyfriend and I had a blue berry boba from one and we were literally shitting blue for 24 hours after. So I avoid all edibles from a place that has wheels under it.

I don't care where or what for I will always use a credit card and verify the charges once finalized for ANYTHING out of a truck.
