Pet Peeve - Taco Bell Drive Thru

Home on a Saturday night. I've had about a half keg's worth of Coors Light Thursday & Friday and two papers to write. Figured I'd take a blog break.

Side note: I don't know if you're aware but I was talking to a Coors Brewing representative and he was telling me how he had to replace the Coors Light tap in Heaven last week. Apparently it's God's favorite.

If you haven't realized by now, I love Taco Bell. I'm obsessed. Everything on the menu I've had and it's delicious beyond belief. I would marry Taco Bell and have Taco Bell children. They can have a tortilla body and cheese hair but as long as they have my eyes, I'll be happy. "The best way to lose weight is to stop eating fast food." I could drop everything but Taco Bell. If I don't lose weight...fuck it. I'll be fat. That's how much I love it.

However. The employees at Taco Bell are deplorable. Yes, they work in fast food. No one in fast food is extraordinarily happy to be working there. Shit, I was at a school last week teaching a bunch of fourth graders about economics and not one said 'Cashier at McDonald's' for career aspiration. But screaming my order into a drive-thru speaker three times because "I'm sorry, what?!' is the response instead of repeating my order.

No, I don't want anything to drink. Don't ask me four times. One manager even told me her sales were down on drinks and wanted me to get one. Really? That sucks. I have pop at home, though.

No, keep the plastic bag with the five napkins that are going to sit in my car for months. Big, big fucking waste. (Although they did come in handy when I was sick a week ago and didn't have tissues on hand.)

And for THE LOVE OF GOD I DO NOT NEED SAUCE. I do not care much for sauce. Mild, hot, fire, none. No sauce. If sauce is on the delicious product, great, but if not, I don't need to add to it. I think the packets are so cute with their sayings. I don't need them. If I really wanted some we have about eighty packets AND a bottle of Taco Bell brand mild sauce in the fridge. They ask me every time. Every. Fucking. Time. "Do you need sauce?" "Did you need sauce?" "What kind of sauce do you need?" "Are you sure?" "Did you say you wanted sauce?" Next window, they ask me the same damn thing. I DON'T WANT SAUCE. I SAID IT ONCE. PAY FUCKING ATTENTION AND DON'T ASK ME AGAIN.

Have you noticed they keep them hidden behind the register? I can imagine people coming in, not purchasing anything and filling a grocery bag with sauce. Thank God they put an end to that. I guess now they have an influx of sauce and are pawning them off on every person in the fucking drive thru. Stop it. Don't be annoying.
