How did it take 9 years for them to notice this was happening?
My god, like yeah he was stealing but of all the people that deserve to be fired for this he's like probably number 5 on the list.

This is why when we audit companies and people in power be we take a day off we get suspicious.

 

[Just_myles]

When you say fajitas do they mean the skirt steak it's made from or the entire fajita setup bell peppers included?

 

[Dead Prince]

all those meat could have went to Chipotle.

 

[Circle Jerk]

But like for real you take a day off for a doctors' appointment and you don't schedule it for a day where you aren't scheduled to steal fucking 30$ grand worth of fajitas?? lol

Like did it become so normal he forgot he was pulling a heist 2 times a month? Amazing.

It may have just been the first time someone else taking the delivery cared enough to ask questions. I doubt this is the first delivery he has missed in 9 years, especially if he realized how little anyone else seemed to care about the excess money.

I was saddened to discover that when you see Fajitas sizzling as the waiter walked them past you, that it's actually just water sizzling, that they add at the last second to the cast iron, to make it sizzle for purely aesthetic reasons.

"The Fajita Effect." It's a light oil, not water, from what I've been told. Restaurants do this because when they walk that tray through the room it's likely two or three more tables will then order it.

Ok but the real question is who is buying all them prison fajitas on a regular basis

Probably a low-grade restaurant or something.

Or maybe the only government institution lower than a prison: a public school.

It's sizzle sauce! I've heard it's soy sauce sometimes. Guess it depends on the chef. Maybe some sort of oil so you get the sound and smell effect.

They also did this in older HK restaurants too.

Probably more likely some kind of a break in the routine happened. Like the call came in a day early or somebody new was handling deliveries and didn't know the day the thief preferred

 

[Affeinvasion]

Fajitas should be considered a public utility like water and electricity.

I respect his audacity.

 

[The Kree]

I just did the math and that's roughly 600 million tons of fajitas. You could produce enough fart thrust to reach Mars in 12 years with that many fajitas. You could also line that many fajitas up side by side and they would wrap around the moon 57 times.

 

[Pyroclastic]

you know how the mafia in Italy sell their own dodgy olive oil? Someone should forward this article to the cartels.

MY LIFE HAS ALL BEEN A LIE!!!!

:-(

 

[ISOM]

How many years is he looking at here cause goddamn that is a shitty way to spend time in jail, for fajitas.

 

[nampad]

Someone in the audit/finance/accounting chain should have dug into the higher costs and been able to tie them back at some point. Either he was a master at hiding the costs, or everyone in the chain just didn't do their jobs. Maybe both!

The auditor probably didn't get any time to do his job.

[Angry Grimace]

Meh I was hoping to be wow'd by the guy eating that much and living but he just sold them.

Yeah, this is just garden variety embezzlement that's a bit funnier because he's stealing prison fajitas.

 

[grandjedi6]

Yep. Classic attempt to save time but just signing off on some "minor stuff". You mean to go back to it or check the next one thoroughly but once a habit forms it's hard to change without overhead guidance.

 

[Falchion]

Holy guacamole.

Perfect. Also this is absolutely nuts.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

When he broke a mil he should have left the country

 

[Slayven]

Damn dude was the scarface of Fajitas

 

[Brakke]

Watch out - these fajitas are hot

Underappreciated.

 

[TheOMan]

I'm guessing he went out of his way to cover his tracks.

If you read the article...he didn't.

Edit: Also, the company he was ordering from is gonna be down a bunch of orders now.

 

[KillLaCam]

That actually amazing. Fajitas arent THAT good lmao. I'm my gonna be ordering fajitas from a sketchy delivery guy like that

 

[Slayven]

Resturant supplies can be some sketchy as hell shit, folks always trying to cut costs, and some don't care what comes in through the back door

 

[RowdyReverb]

Wait how did he intercept the 800 pound delivery every month?

 

[NervousXtian]

Not surprised, this kind of fraud is more common then you'd think.. people just don't look over stuff because they trust someone else has already.

Considering it was fajitas he was probably sending it to mom and pop type places who were just happy to get a deal and didn't ask questions.

 

[SomethingInTheSea]

If their accounting department can’t even identify something as simple as this happening then I don’t want to know what else might be going on.

 

[Hobbles]

Well, fajitas were invented in the RGV. They easily make up like 50% of menu choices down there. You haven't had goo fajitas until you've had them down on the Texas-Mexico border.

It was real to me! You have gone and ruined it.

I think there may be a recipe here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1481227041/?tag=neogaf0e-20

[katsubento]

Holy guacamole.

First post.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I know those are hot fajitas son

I'll give you 45 cents on the dollar.
"done"

I hope a netflix doc comes from this

 

[Fuchsdh]

How greedy do you have to be to steal fajitas for 5 years and think "I'll bet I can get away with it for 5 more"

I mean, that's basically how most of these crimes get uncovered. People are greedy.

All those kids in prison denied fajita Fridays.

You ruined the illusion for me for eternity dammit.

 

[Robot Pants]

The fact that this is a Xia thread cracks me up even harder.

0.2 cents per ton is a pretty good deal.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Yeah that's now how human behaivor works.

Ironically he had to go see a doctor that day because he had way too many fajitas and they gave him a belly ache: Live by the sword die by the sword I guess!

also "Why can't you trust fajitas? ....Because they tend to spill the beans."

Spoiler

stole it from the article's comment section!
