Topic: Taco Bell
started by: whtdrgn
Back when I was 16 and I used to work at Taco Bell I was amazed at the kind of people that came in to eat there. The was one incedent where a guy told me he wanted a Taco.
I said, "Would you like that hard or soft"
He said, "Yea"
I said, "Im sorry sir, would you like that taco hard or soft"
He said, "Look kid I said yes!" WTF
Little did I know that all of the stupid people that tourmented me during my younger years would come back to work there and tourment me again. I waited 20 minutes for two soft tocos, and a bean burrito minus onions. After 20 minuts I got 1 soft taco, and two bean burritos minus red sauce.
Has anyone else had problems during their run to the border.
thats why i dont eat at taco bell. its ike theyre using catle feed for the shells.
i had this same experiance at a Dairy Queen. i wanted a damn combo mel and they gave me the wrong one. i send back, they give me what i want, but with cheese and mayonase and crap like that. i send back. they give me a fucking hotdog.
...
do i even have to say it?

I agree with the one brain cell. That is why I don't work there any longer. I got yeled at once for following health code. You are not allowed to open sealed packeges (cream, hot sauce), and give them to a customer. They have to open them. I got written up because I followed that rule. Oh well I guess I can just piss in the beans.....

I lived in Minnesota most of my life, and I worked at an Arby's for a couple of years. We had to change our policy for cooking roast beef (the main product... you don't want to know how it's prepared... just love how good it tastes) because of the people that died at a Jack in the Box in California. I've eaten at one jack in the box and I ordered chicken... because i watched them dunk the chicken into the fryer for 4:30 until it was cooked and served right to me. I can't eat a fast food burger to save my life. I have a bad kindergarten memory that prohibits it.
All I can say is ew... fast food is normally ok, but the horror stories scare the crap out of me. I like to walk in and watch them cook the food for me.
My wife used to work at a privately-owned McDonald's, and the management was, shall we say, lax. They had the "Three-Second Rule", which stated if the burger patty had been on the floor for under three seconds, you could say "good catch" and serve it up.
The absolute worst, however, was the incident with the pickle bucket. For those of you who don't know, McD's gets pickles in these big ol' 5-gallon buckets. Well, someone one night was stoned, and (remember, my wife saw this) took a big ol' piss right in that bucket. Apparently the bucket was thrown out and none of the pickles used, but still...... *hurl*

but it is the only thing i eat?. don't have anything to cook at the house (don't really want to cook)
that cock roach story is probably fake
i heard something similar (and equally gross if not more) about a chick who used a lobster to get off, and to make a long story short she died on the toilet and when they moved the body off the can they found tiny lobsters in the bowel and in her. the lobster was carrying eggs and the chick was about to hit that time when the womb is just the right tempature to sustain life (or some shit like that)

So I take it that we all eat fast food, we just don't like it. Well that just goes to show how much of a hurry we Americans (and any one else are in).
I was just in Maui, and I'll tell you that Hawaii is no exception. I almost lost it when I saw that every liquor store had the local treat: Spam sushi. I've never seen anything more gross. Pale and bleached sticky rice, tepid from festering in a plastic case, wrapped in a fine thread of amalgamated seaweed. And on top, the piece de resistance - a pinkish blob of soft, thick cut imitation ham...gooey, rancid, clammy from the heat. And people we're just gobbling it up.
Man, I'd rather smoke a ball of crack than eat a Big Mac. Fast food is poisonous. Canned food is malignant. Frozen blocks carry no nutritional value.
Stay away from the junk, folks. Start drinking a minimum of 12 cups of water a day, some cranberry juice (diuretics are good for the urinary tract), healthy greens (this does NOT include iceberg lettuce), antioxidant fruits (esp. Vitamin C...not pills, but actual fruit), and a lot of complex carbohydrates.
In less than a week, you will feel better than ever before. Eating right carries far beyond physical health; mental health is affected by what you consume as well.
I would equate ANY fast food to the talk of "ANY drug" in the Narcotics Rant: every single one is bad for you and reduces your overall health.
I'm on an informal diet right now. I go to the store, buy a bunch of fruits and vegatables, and eat them until I run out... then I do fast food for about a week until I build up enough motivation to buy more vegies. In the meantime, I'm doing some quick morning exercises and rollerblading occasionally. It's not a terribly effective diet, but I look and feel a hell of a lot better after less than 3 weeks.

I hope they bury me upside down, so the whole damn world can kiss my ass
a dunken donuts in my area got closed down for 6 months by the fda. i dunno why but i was scared because i ate there every morning. never ever eat at taco bell. a taco bell in the area i used to live in got closed down permantly because someone who worked there reported that they were intentionally putting rats and insects in the meat grinder to save money on meat. as if that brown red goo shit isn't fucked enough without rat and bug meat. im just glad the fast food here at psu is pretty good.
WTF do you expect here people? this is literally the cheapest restaurant you can eat at and you expect 5 star food?!!?

Anyhow, here's a true story you may find interesting: there used to be a bar that, for a five dollar surcharge, offered all the beer you could drink for .25 cents a glass. TONS of people would show up and get hammered for relatively nothing. The only problem was that the beer was a bit flat and rather sour. Even when they put in a fresh keg, the draughts would quickly lose carbonation and taste. Your normal bar system works like this: a propellent is connected to the keg room, and the kegs are driven to the taps. Well, one day, this particular bar decided to clean out its system. What they found was a massive, 6ft long YEAST WORM festering in the hose between keg and tap. Apparently he'd been there, soaking up suds for quite some time.
BTW, if you meant for that story to be a mockery of all the “cockroaches in your mouth” and “rats in the meat” crap, then yes, I totally missed the point.

So, what, they went back and forth pouring from the bag of 'Spiced Cow Meat' and the bag of 'Ground rat and bug meat'? No grinder on site means putting whole bugs and whole rats into the meat. The beef you get is borderline liquid, so I would be awfully suspicious of bugs and rats in my Chalupa. Unless they were in the back with hammers and knives making new meat, there isn't much chance to this story. Plus, after that much effort finding enough bugs and rats to make a difference and liquifying them, you've already lost money that could have gone to a bag of meat.
So, Stop telling stories that make me want to puke. It's gross and yucky... icky poo.

Dude, I hear KFC is the worst of them all. Supposedly they've got a massive wherehouse coup of genetically altered "chickens" that have no feathers or beaks, and live their entire lives feeding through an IV. Perhaps.
If you believe that, you are mentally handicapped. They would have to have a single chicken that could make about 400 buckets (knowing KFC prices) to balance out the cost and all the trouble that would go into creating genetically altered chickens. Especially since it's really unlikely those chickens would be able to reproduce--if it were even possible to create such a thing at all. Oh, and by the way, I've heard the story about KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King. Honestly, what are the chances that all three are using this method? If someone came up with a super-effecient and cost effective way of getting chicken, don't you think they would IMMEDIATELY have it trademarked and copyrighted and all that?
I keep getting into arguments about this. Usually the person just ignores ALL evidence and logic and just says "NO!!!!!!! YUO ARE BAD!!!!! FAST FOOD = SATAN!!!!! TERRIBLE BAD AND YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR EATING FAST FOOD BECAUSE IT IS EVIL AND TERRIBLE!!!!!!"
99.8\% of ALL stories you hear about rats in Taco Bell, sawdust in McDonald's burgers, etc, are fucking urban legends, they're almost never and of the .02\% that are true, SO WHAT? They're INCREDIBLY rare incidences, and you're just as likely to have it happen at a fancy restraunt as at the local Burger King.

People ask me to fix their computer. I do in 5 seconds.
They say "You think your good don't you".
I say "I know I'm good". People always ask stupid questions.
This is an example of where a bad situation helped other resturaunts fix their problematic procedures, and that is cool.
The truth is everyone who works there is pissed becuase they work there. Unless you 16-20 the fault is yours. If you dropped out of high school, or you chose not to go to college then don't bitch becuase you work as a manager at <inser fast food place here> and only make 8 bucks an hour, and certainly don't take it out on me!
I was at arbys the other day and the manager told mr to leave the store when he refused to replace my order. Re wouldn't do it becuase it was 30 minutes later when I came back (I don't like to eat in the car and I waited until I got home). EAT SHIP MOTHER FUCKERS!
my managers are the health nazi's.
if anything at all is not cooked properly, it goes straight to waste.
if the food is timed out (if its been in the wrap zone for a certain ammount of time), it gets chucked out, so everything is fresh
Mexican? I like it hot!!!!
Macca's is aussie slang for McDonalds
Mc = mac = macca's
do you understand the concept here?

remember when one is talking to our lesser cousins one must remember to call it "micky d's" then the rabble will know what one is talking about.
Cheerio!

aussie macca's easily kills US macca's.
don't even get me started on Quarter Pounders and Mc Oz.... /me drools again
This time to do with that traditional english pastime, going for a curry.
Incident 1: Busy "fast-food" style curry house in Sheffield, the toilets are upstairs above the kitchen. My friend's a plumber and apparently he was called in to fix some pipes because they'd been closed - the urinals in the mens toilets leaked down onto the work surfaces in the kitchen.
Incident 2: Sheffield curry house again, but a different one, and my friend found a maggot in her lettuce. Okay, but the maggot was a meat maggot, hence, swept into the vegetables when cleaning the work surfaces down with a cloth.
Incident 3: Not Sheffield! A friend always ate at a certain curry house with her family once a week for a number of years. As it turns out the place was shut down because the people cooking the food were jacking off into it then serving it to the hungry customers. Madras a bit salty madam? lol
