Taco Bell Rant
The Fat Family: These are people (usually white) who bring their horribly obese children to Taco Bell for lunch. They come in during school vacation and weekends. Apparently it is better to feed your butterball fast food, than a nutritious lunch at home. These are also the people who add double sour cream to EVERYTHING (as if one portion wasn't enough), and they have any vegetables removed. I felt sooo bad ringing in 5 chalupas with beef, sour cream, and nacho cheese for a 300 pound 12 y/o girl. What's worse was she ate them all!!! Shit man... when your kid gets diabetes you can always bring McDonalds to court to pay the medical bills. As if your own incompetence had nothing to do with it.
The Ditzy High-school Girls: Usually traveling in packs, these anorexic looking teenage girls always order the same thing... A number 7, soft-shell. Every now and then one will deviate from the group and get a number 9, soft-shell, made with chicken, until they realize it costs more... Then you have to go back and change everything... wasting 3 portions of chicken, and blowing variance for the week... Outcome... No free food for me.
The "I only know my numbers in English" customer: These are the people right off the boat. They only know how to say their numbers, and so the order is often remade at least once. They will tell you that they want "3 number 3". You repeat this to them, often stressing the fact that they are getting 3 meals... they say yes... you give them total (Over 15.00) and they pay. It isn't until the 9 taco supremes come out that they inform you they only wanted 1 number three. At this point you need a manager to come do a void, and they look at you like you are the idiot who fucked up! Goodbye variance!!!
The snobs: These are the people who look like they belong on a yacht in Newport (in reality, most just bought lands end clothing at Sears, and are pretending). They often start with "We've never been here before" So look at the fucking menu, pick a damn meal, and order! I don't care if you have been here before (and most of you have). They will also only get 1 chicken soft taco, fresco style (see health-nut) and a small drink. They will get a taco with beans for their child (usually only one) and look about in disgust at my "dirty" dining room, after I just cleaned it. Don't fucking eat fast food, if you aren't going to eat fast food!!!
The Health-Nut: These are the people who order EVERYTHING fresco style, which requires a lot of work on my part... not only do I have to take their order, but I have to remember what to take off of it, take that off, and they go to a whole different screen to add the stupid fiesta salsa... The worst part is that these people usually see the advetisement AFTER they place their order, ("Ohhhh can I get it like that") but before they pay... This means I have to go back and redo the whole damn thing.
There are other types of people, but unfortunately I have to get ready for work.. so I don't have time to write about them. I will update this entry often. As for those of you who work at Taco Bell, feel free to add to this!
