“A burrito,” the student told him, “shouldn’t cost $20.” Before going further down the $20 burrito rabbit hole, I think it’s important to let Kolvet rescue himself from the notion that he’s a $20 burrito complaint radical himself. With a drink, call it $20 plus tip for a full meal, of which the incredibly robust burrito is only part. So yeah, the “$20 burrito” complaint is wildly overblown. Yes, things cost more than they used to.
