Taco Bell Stupidity

Why didn't the OP eat his food while waiting for the EMTs to get there and do their thing?

Why didn't the OP eat his food while waiting for the EMTs to get there and do their thing?

Taking selfie, bickering with the taco bell employee, and too busy having a circle jerk with his compadres about how superior to said taco bell employee they were.

Why didn't the OP eat his food while waiting for the EMTs to get there and do their thing?

Because the OP has "serious IQ issues".

 

[smackababy]

I think the moral of this story is really a very clever Taco Bell marketing campaign. Had the OP gotten one of those new stuffed nacho things, rather than tacos, he could have saved the guy, called the paramedics, taken a selfie, and posted about his superiority all while eating those nachos on the go!

 

[JEDIYoda]

My mom got a refund after seeing hair being pulled out of the nacho cheese.

always legitimate exceptions to the rule.....sadly asking for a refund for the sake of a refund is well...ehhhh

This, can't multitask. Probably a spoiled millennial. Op is everything that's wrong with America.

this wins the thread for me.

Holy fuck do you people not get this. They have to give you a refund if you aren't happy. Sure, it's a dick move but he refused to do that....and give me a number for his manager..........and called my sister hitler and crazy in front of two customer he knew arrived with her. Lets completely avoid the subject and go back to how asking for 3$ of tacos is "not cool, man". ATOT is not what it used to be I guess Guess I saw it coming with people like Cheez allowed to post.

But it's not cool. The policy of "Not satisfied? Get a refund" is in place so if TACO BELL screws up they will make it right. What you did is no different than ordering tacos, taking them home, and then deciding they got too soggy on the ride home so you want them remade. How is that Taco Bell's fault? They shouldn't be expected to remake/refund food that they prepared adequately to begin with. You guys did a great thing helping the guy who was passed out, and the cashier was out of line calling your sister Hitler. At the very least it was bad customer relations (lol) but none of that has any bearing on the fact that Taco Bell fulfilled their end of the agreement with regards to the purchase and preparation of your tacos. I do think it would've been good on TB's part to give you some kind of reward or something for helping the guy, but asking for the food to be remade or refunded was definitely out of line, IMHO.

Edit: I also have to ask, what exactly did the employee do that is so bad he needs to be fired? I know he insulted your sister, and that would piss me off too, but does he really deserve to lose his job? That seems a little extreme and from reading all your comments regarding him, you seem to REALLY want him to get fired.

Seriously? You're going to eat while there is an unconscious person laying there. The PD/FD proabably came on scence in the average of 8 minutes or less.

it took around 8 minutes to come. We then made sure the friends didn't leave and answered questions. It took at most 30 minutes; probably around 25.

Get a refund" is in place so if TACO BELL screws up they will make it right.

So what you are saying is if I had lied like most people do and said the food was shit 90% of the posts would be removed, right? Instead I didn't expect ATOT to have such a moral dilemma over 3$ of tacos and instead said the truth, which was they were too cold for my brother to eat after helping someone who was knocked out. Again, from a lot of the responses here I can see some people treat that kind of money in a different way than I do. When I did retail 3$ was nothing and we sold 99 cent cables. I'm kinda wondering if that whole "atot everyone drives ferraris" is real rofl.

Actually I find it really funny what he said, but his attitude afterwards screamed mental handicap. His coworkers even were staring at him weird. I think you really had to be there to understand where I am coming from. He was totally off-kilter and refused to even give his name which was on his name tag, lol. He just got super defensive after he knew he screwed up and he WAS NOT young which was the icing on the cake for me. The rag thing was also really troubling as you can fuck someone up that way. He could of made the guy ten times worse.

Bro you can't even read so you should probably lay off the insults. The tacos weren't for me. R E A D I N G C O M P R E H E N S I O N. Look it up.

This is the thread that keeps on giving.............

 

[cyclohexane]

Strong contender for ownage thread of the year for 2014.

I love how the OP honestly doesn't care about the issue, and has gone well out of his way to prove it in this thread.

I care more about posts talking about stuff regarding the EMT stuff. The taco stuff is just hilarious and I have a few people reading it just loling hard. People don't even read the OP and comprehend it.

Most urgent care facilities are nothing more than doctors that will see you on sight. At least the ones in Virginia. They can't handle emergency situations usually.

This. They wouldn't take him as this place requires pre-screening and required money up-front. It was just better to call the ambulances. My sister didn't do anything other than check his pulse lay him back get his backpack off and she made me block the sun for him since he complained about the sun being bright when his eyes were closed. That's really all we did and everyone told us thumbs up when they came. They were dragging him like a puppet beforehand so if anything they are liable, not us.

So, was it $4 worth of tacos or $3 worth of tacos? How convenient the amount keeps getting reduced. I bet next it'll be $2 worth of tacos. Also, the dollar sign comes before the numerical amount. Seems your IQ may be as low as the Taco Bell employee. And no, the cops wouldn't be able to force Taco Bell to give you a refund. You must be about 15 years old.

Would you like me to scan the receipt? You seem so fixated that I called the employee low IQ. Are you offended I called someone working at a taco bell at 35 low IQ? I'm 24 FYI and frankly I wouldn't call the cops, I'd do what I did instead and save the receipt, call corporate, and get someone fired for being a moron. Thanks for the dollar sign tip though dog.

Wat?

Taco Bell tacos aren't even hot to begin with. Tepid at best.

Besides, a real brother would have educated his younger sibling on the fact that Taco Bell is for after a night of drinking. You hit that shit up on the way home.

 

[MrPickins]

Its humorous and almost saddening at the same time as I remember ATOT in a more educated, elegant way I guess.

Nah, people in ATOT have always been quick to point out stupidity, either real or perceived.

Not much has changed in that respect.

 

[Rinaun]

When an entire forum seems stupid and retarded, it's probably not the entire forum.

Lot of lurkers lately coming out of the woodwork lately...

I think most of the people who had sanity left a long time ago or lurk hard.

Nah it's more like a select few OCD over trivial sections of the original topic. I posted it to show how weird the experience was, and the replies I got from some people was "that's not cool man, asking for new tacos". I really wonder if I wrote "they tasted like shit" instead of cold if this thread would be different. I'd bet they still get angry .

Even worse is the people clamoring I can't get a refund when since the incident it's been handled via phone. They're a franchise so getting things done just takes a phone call.

At you, you mean?

I KNOW RIGHT? I mean this ALL could of been avoided if the guy didn't want TACO BELL on his 21st. I'd take in-n-out over Taco Bell as my drunken food of choice.

Last night we got pretty shitfaced on patron and spent some time with friends laughing over this thread for 2-3 minutes between a movie . He had a good time.

They are laughing at you, not with you.

If $3 is no big deal than why did you/your brother make it a big deal?

I'm kinda wondering if that whole "atot everyone drives ferraris" is real rofl.

For me it has nothing to do with the amount of money. I don't care if the tacos cost 25 cents each or $25. The refund policy is to keep the customer happy when Taco Bell screws up, not when you decide you want fresh food because you were busy doing something else. If the food was bad from the start, not just got cold while you did other stuff, then asking for it to be remade or refunded is totally acceptable. That would be using the policy the correct way. I'm not sure if you meant if you lied in the OP or to Taco Bell in the quoted post. If you had lied to Taco Bell and said it was bad and not just cold, but told us the truth, I'd still think that was wrong. Bottom line, the only way you should even consider asking for a refund/remake is if the food was bad when the employee handed it to you.

That being said, I still think you did a good thing trying to help that person and I think Taco Bell should've recognized that and offered to do something for you as a gesture of appreciation. His friends should probably have done the same as well. After all, you may have saved their friend's life. But asking for it is just bad form, IMO.

Actually I find it really funny what he said, but his attitude afterwards screamed mental handicap. His coworkers even were staring at him weird. I think you really had to be there to understand where I am coming from. He was totally off-kilter and refused to even give his name which was on his name tag, lol.

He could of made the guy ten times worse.

That does make him sound like he's not quite right in the head, and I agree the rag thing was pretty dumb of him. He probably saw it on TV or something and thought it was safe. I can't really comment on whether he deserves to be fired or not, whether he's dumb or not (though I'm thinking he's kinda dumb lol) because I wasn't there. It just seemed a little extreme to want him to get fired so badly for what you wrote in the earlier posts. Maybe the extent of his actions just didn't come across well before.....

Do you know what happened to the guy that passed out? Did they have any idea on-site what caused him to pass out?

 

[Rinaun]

They are laughing at you, not with you.

If $3 is no big deal than why did you/your brother make it a big deal?

Because while he makes 75k+ a year it's wasted money on his end? Sorry if you are so noble that you've never asked for a refund on cold food but at 4.68 (receipt right here) we figured they'd do us a solid. Instead they refused that, and to make us new food, and a bunch of other stuff. But just completely gloss over it baby

P.S. who the fuck is "they"? my friends? ATOT? If atot is laughing at someone should they even care? Half the people on here say they own ferraris and bench 400.

 

[Rinaun]

oh hey, something to talk about. Yeah we were super worried for him because when he did lapse into consciousness, he said his head immensely hurt and kinda made pain faces. What what I could tell they mentioned things like "maybe he's having a single episode" and they checked his blood sugar plus asked him if he's ever had a seizure. His friends also mentioned he was nodding in and out all day but finally he was knocked out and they couldnt wake him with anything (slapping, etc). We even held the phone up to him and kept saying shit like "WERE CALLING 911 YOU BETTER NOT BE DRUNK OR KIDDING" and he murmured "no man...." in response to the drugs/liquor (he said later 2-3 times "I dont do drugs, I dont do drugs").

This is fucking hilarious. Only ATOT starts random witch hunts.

Hint guys: I was liberally drunk all yesterday from 1 hour after the post started; probably even a bit before. It was my brothers 21st and the tacos weren't for me (again). If I make any grammatical errors on ATOT it's because you guys don't pay me enough (hell, at all) to type cleanly. Mad? Good Pay me and I'll start typing all reel guud leik.

The real question is why your brother didn't man up and just eat the damn tacos instead of trying to milk an overly generous satisfaction guarantee.

You and you brother sound like you've got the Gen Y entitlement in spades.

It sounds like drugs, though. Of course that's just my armchair MD talking, I honestly haven't got a clue about medical stuff. lol Maybe his blood pressure was low? That's pretty similar to how my dad gets when his BP drops too low. We've had to call 911 before because it was so low he passed out. I can't remember if he ever had head pain with it, though.

With your superior IQ I assumed you could figure out I was referring to the people who are reading the taco posts with you. Will fix my original post so it's easier for the less intelligent to follow.

 

[smackababy]

I can't wait for Taco Bell to get used by the young man who was "helped" because they allowed some pretensious twats to administer their less than satisfactory care.

And then, Taco Bell, in turn, sues you and your sister for performing such "care" without supervision of a doctor and against the request of the receiver. You denied him access to a facility across the street, because in your expert opinion, it was sub par to what your sister could administer in the parking lot of a Taco Bell.

Refund that!
