Are you that hard up for money Taco bell? (minor rant inside)

[Wanescotting]

I don't understand. You want it, pay for it. Why is food so "special"? Why do YOU feel entitled?

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Rarely has my bill at Taco Bell been over $5. I usually get a quesdilla and/or fresco burrito and one fresco taco and thats more than enough to fill me.

My area has a "$2 meal deal" with a drink, back of Doritos, and your choice of 4 items:
- Chicken Burrito
- Beefy 5-layer Burrito
- Gordita Supreme
- Double-decker Taco

Ask for "no ice" on the drink and you get more than most full-price value meals from other places.

No other fast food place can provide as much edible food for $2. I don't know how TB does it.

My local Taco Bell has a free refill fountain, so you don't even need to ask for no ice - just refill before you leave.

...assuming you didn't go through the drive-thru. (my local TB also has the self-refill fountain dispensers inside; probably all of them do.)

My local Taco Bell always has great service and never runs out of ingredients.
I feel sorry for yous guys.

I was in a Subway once and they had a poster on the wall showing the options for $5 subs. I ordered an Italian BMT (which was on the poster), but was told at checkout that this location wasn't offering the $5 sub deal for the Italian BMT (they had a smaller handwritten list of about 3 sandwiches taped under the menu). I ended up paying $7 for my sandwich just because I was hungry and I'm guessing I wasn't the only person to do so. However, I bet they didn't have a lot of repeat customers.

That's illegal. If they advertise a product for a certain price in the store, it must be sold at that price. If they don't want to participate in corporate promotions, they shouldn't be using the promotional materials.

No ones gonna go to court over 2 dollars, and they know that, which is why they can get away with it.

Personally I'd call the regional manager. You normally get better results that way. In extreme conditions they replace the local manager and service usually goes up tremendously. The new manager is always paranoid. Same with chain restaurants like Applebees. I am always amazed at people who talk shit about them. All you have to do is complain once and things get fixed immediately, then you have a nice place to eat.

just get the 5$ big box. its actually almost too much food but for 5$ its a steal

Actually someone will go to court over 2 dollars: Your state's consumer representative. Most states it's your attorney general, but some states have special departments for business affairs or consumer protection. They exist for situations like that.

i do not undersatnd how some businesses run.

My gf went to Breuggers Gabel to get egg white on toast. They told he they ran out of egg white. This was at 10 AM. How does a place that advertises egg white on a bagel run out of egg white? Are they that unprepapred?

Maybe their supplier's truck didn't make it in. Maybe they had an unusual spike in business. Maybe the eggs they had were tossed because a health inspector said they weren't being kept at the incorrect temperature. There's many reasons...usually it's the truck is late.

Maybe it was just a lot busier that morning than expected. The pizza shop I (occasionall) work at runs out of pizza every once in a while. Customers are often confused by this, so we have to explain to them that we make fresh dough every day; it takes at least 2 hours after we start making the dough before it's ready to be made into a pizza (with a lot of extra effort to rush it out in 2 hours; 3 hours is more realistic.) And, that requires an extra employee to come in; one of the few who know how to make the dough, as if we're that busy that we run out, no one has the spare time to make the dough. But, generally, by the time we realize that we're going to run out of dough, it's too late - if we don't figure it out by 6:00 - it's too late to bother.

Used tor run into the same thing at pizza shop I worked at years ago. Sometimes, however, we would whip up a batch and just not let it rise.

Also whats that psychological effect when someone takes an incident as a personal attack even though there was no emotionally threatening intent to begin with?

Taco bell serves poor food like all other fast food chains.

Well, I still havent found a decent fast burger (despite people claims about 5 Guys) but Chipotle makes awesome tacos, Churches has great chicken, and Blimpies/Quiznos are good sammiches.
Dairy Queen has awesome stuff these days (for most of the 90's they were shit).

I didnt have TB for about 6 months and I was quickly reminded why. Within minutes of eating just a few crunchy tacos and a steak quesodilla I thought I was gonna die. Paid like 5 bucks for the whole thing and spent more in toilet paper for the aftermath of it.

But you enjoyed out didn't you? The food that is.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

I haven't been to Taco Bell in about a year. If I want some mexican food. I'll hit up a real mexican joint.

 

[Arkaign]

TBell is only marginally acceptable as food. I feel bad for those whose only choice in "mexican" fast food is TBell. I've been there maybe a dozen times in my life and have never once not regretted the choice.

I'm in Texas though, so I'm spoiled as hell when it comes to choices. I might feel a lot different if I lived in an area where the only place to get cheap tacos and such was Tbell.

Sounds to be like you have a wimpy stomach.

Not really. The one in my town is nasty and dirty. My wife wanted it for dinner so I went. I cant stand it because the people there are rude and just dont care about anything. They will get mad at the customer when they mess up the order. Like we the paying people should just take it no matter how wrong it is.

So stop giving them business or report them.

You are only keeping them around by getting food from the place.

Still if the normal food makes that sick I guess you need to only eat vanilla paste or such.

 

[lxskllr]

I like TacoBell, but I don't go expecting a gourmet feast. I expect my stomach will stop hurting from hunger, and that I won't pay much to make the pain go away. I also expect tolerable flavor. They've always succeeded on all accounts, except for the time they got bleach in the lettuce. That time, the flavor wasn't tolerable :^D

 

[Mermaidman]

My local TB sucks. I apparently have one of the "non-participating locations" for all the national advertised deals. I've missed out on the 89 cent crunch wraps, the 99 cent double deckers, and now the currently advertised 99 cent burrito supreme. Not only do they not honor the national deals, but their regular prices are higher than any other TB I've been to.

Was that Taco Bell part of a gas station? I've noticed that some fast food joints "embedded" within a truck stop would charge airport prices! For example: The Popeye's Chicken on the interstate somewhere between Cincinnati and Lexington.
