SANDUSKY, Ohio, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Employees at a Taco Bell restaurant in Ohio said an apparently intoxicated man insisted on paying $72 for a single taco.

Aaron Ohm, manager of the Perkins Township Taco Bell, said a man who appeared to be in his 20s walked into the fast food eatery just after 11 p.m. Monday and put $72 down on the counter, the Sandusky (Ohio) Register reported Thursday.

"He said 'Merry Christmas, all I want is a taco,'" Ohm said.

He said employees tried to give the man, who workers said seemed quite drunk, his change, but he refused to accept the money and left the restaurant with his taco.

"It was kinda funny," Ohm said. "Most people his age would not hand out money."

Ohm said he gave the money to Perkins police, who said they will hold it for 60 days to allow the man to claim it.
