Hot Doggin'

Ripped off in New York:

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. Several customers told the station that the vendor had charged them $15, $20 or even $30 for a single hot dog.

If you're stupid enough to pay $30 for a hot dog, you deserve to get ripped off. I don't really have a problem with that. What I have a really BIG problem with is some asshole named Mohammed selling anything at the WTC Memorial. Hell, I have a problem with anyone named Mohammed getting within rock-throwing distance of it. Apparently their aversion to pork products doesn't proscribe selling it to stupid tourists at extortionate prices.

Do I know for a solid fact he's a Muslim? No, I suppose he could be a Mormon or a Shintoist. His name is Ahmed Mohammed. Do the math.
