Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Savor that burrito

I hate it when Fast Food ain't!

Easy to walk out. Drove away from Sonic last week.

10 minutes after order my food wasn't out, 2 other cars were all that had been there the whole time.

Started the ride and into reverse I went. Bet they had a surprise when they walked out with food and nobody was in the stall.

Locally, Sonic and Taco BellySwell are the worst in our small town. It's not brain surgery or something. We don't go to either place often, but the last time we went to our local Taco Bell, the service was unexpectedly good. I refuse to even go back to our local Sonic, they're so pitiful I won't even bother with them.
My food at home is a heckuva lot better, anyway, than either place.

And then we have this, my wife bought the Pringles Party Stack last week:

I like Taco Bell. I know, you can get better food at a real Mex restaurant. I have spent 6 months travelling around Mexico, from Veracruz to the Pacific coast, and from Isla Mujeres to Monterrey, and I have probably eaten more real Mexican food than you have.

But I drove a truck over the road for 8 years and I ate lots of Taco Bell, especially the Burrito Supreme. Tastes good, low in fat and lots of B vitamins, fiber and protein. Hell of a lot better for you than a Whopper or Big Mac 'n fries. I ate that Burrito Supreme 3 days a week and never tired of it.

Sadly, several years ago quality slipped on that item, mainly, they started putting half the refried beans in it.

Three years ago you could go to Taco Bell and be out in 5 minutes, great service pre-corona.

I went into Taco Bell in Reedsburg, WI for a quick meal as I had to pick my wife up at 6:30.
There was one person in line in front of me. That should have left me 30 minutes to peruse the next door gun store.
I entered at 5:45, they took the order from the guy in front of me at about 5:50. (warning sign 1)
They took my order of 1 burrito at 6:02. (warning sign 2)
I received my burrito at 6:31
I was about out of my mind, I know my face was red hot at about 20 minutes in, but I tried to keep my cool. It actually got to be funny later on as I had to stay just to see how long this burrito would take.
There were about 4 teenagers and 1 adult working, the kids kept walking around, looking up at the monitor but not accomplishing anything.
I had to savor that burrito as it must have been very carefully prepared.

We are f**cked as a society...there is way too much free money floating around.

I am pretty sure the "Wait Time" at some food serving places is based on the staff's decision to drag it out as long as possible.
I am not so sure that many folks filling positions are people that want a job!.

If you are so sophisticated that Taco Bell turns your stomach, then don't eat there.

It's not about sophistication or turning my stomach in the sense of making me ill. In fact I used to love their basic tostadas. It's just that the fiber from the lettuce and refried beans was inspirational to me which could interrupt driving long stretches.
