David,

	As I understand it, it would be a man-in-the-middle
attack if you sat at a table and ordered a Burrito from a
person you thought was a waiter.  That person then goes to
the counter, orders two burritos and a large coffee, to go.
They then deliver one Burrito to you, along with the bill,
and takes the other Burrito and the coffee with them. 

	What you describe is more like "high-jacking" the 
transport mechanism...
