The $30 hot dog: New York street vendor caught ripping off tourists
New York City summer tourist season is well underway. After a great day of sight-seeing, what better way to stave off hunger than with a classic city snack—the hot dog.
But visitors beware. One vendor near the World Trade Center memorial site was recently caught overcharging naïve customers, allegedly charging as much as $30 for one hot dog.
NBC 4 was tipped off to Ahmed Mohammed’s shady practices, and asked the vendor how much he charges for a hot dog. After several seconds of nervous hesitation, he responds $3. But the crew soon caught him trying to sell one man named David a hot dog and pretzel for $15.
A guy named Mohammed charging $30 for a hotdog at the World Trade Center memorial site. If that's not the biggest middle finger to the memory of the people who lost their lives there. $3 for the dog and $27 sent home to his terrorist brethren to fund the next attack.
Since he undoubtedly believes that if he blew himself up for his deity he'd go straight to Heaven and be given his cache of virgins, then someone should shorten the stay here on earth for him.

ReplyDeleteBet they were 't even beef, let alone pork hot dogs...nor "halal".
ReplyDeleteWho cares what a hot dog vendor charges? I don't. But, I also wouldn't buy a $30 hot dog. Only a schmuck would.
