I just mobile order and pay like $6 for a crunch wrap supreme, burrito, and a side with a drink. Id never pay more than $15 at tacobell lol
Make that a cool $36 bucks and have it delivered for ultimate degeneracy.
The whole gig-economy, random motherfuckers delivering your food situation is just impossible for me to get down with. I already worry about the rando who made the food spitting in it, throwing his dingleberries in there, etc.
If I get it delivered by some weirdo, too, am I just supposed to hope that maybe his fecal bacteria will get into a fight with the cook’s fecal bacteria, and they’ll wipe each other out, by the time I eat it?
My department was outsourced this year. So, I have been working as one of those weirdos while I seek new employment. Most businesses seal the food so the driver can’t touch it without it being VERY obvious. (Like a ripped sticker seal) Just know that not everyone delivering is some creep who wants to put poop in your food. I personally don’t even put orders into the cabin of my car. It goes into the trunk inside a sealable cooler that I provide/clean between shifts.
You really do sound like the guy I’d want delivering my stuff. I think part of my apprehension comes from the way I’ve seen even medical personnel going about their jobs with a VERY half-assed attitude, toward things like sterility.
Also, I am chronically and genetically cheap-assed. Food is expensive enough (as per OP’s meme) that I often go entire calendar years without eating any sort of restaurant food. Getting me to pay for delivery + tip would just be incredibly difficult, from the outset.
Yeah like holy shit… Used to be a dollar for their burritos… Now you’re lucky if it is $2, and portions haven’t improved to reflect the price.
I rarely go there anymore since my usual order went from $10 to $18. Their deal boxes are still good tho, they’re still only around $5 here.
I used to work there. All the meat comes in frozen plastic bags. You heat them up in a hot water bath before putting it on the hot line.
For the prices these days it really doesn’t make sense unless there’s a specific item you like from Taco Bell.
I’d rather go to chipotle where they actually put their meats on a grill and prepare everything. I’m not saying it’s not a fast food chain, but I’ve noticed their ingredients are less processed and more fresh.
All major fast food chains are trash now. Same garbage food, 5x the price. I live in an area abundant in taquerias, and I can get way better food for the same price. Taco Bell can fuck right off unless it’s 1am and nothing else is open, and I need to eat something to sober up.
Agreed I only go if they have good deals on the apps fuck ordering at the retail prices they charge.
At least it’s not UK Taco Bell prices.
I think TB thought they’d be a neat novelty, and have people queuing out the door. So they priced tacos at £5+.
The result was, lots of people went there…once. They parted with £15/head, and got bland tacos.
Meanwhile you can go to the grocery store and pay ~30$ for 3lb beef, 20shells, 3 heads romane lettuce, 1lb Mexican cheese, and taco sauce. And have a single person’s meals for the next 5-6 days. I know because it’s been part of my meal prep for a while.
30$ for 3lb beef
Why are you paying $10 per pound for ground beef? You can get 97% lean ground beef at Costco, or WinCo for about $6 per pound.
Textured veggie protein is even cheaper and is dehydrated if you want a veggie option. It’s great to camp with since it needs no refrigeration, and you can add it to beef dishes if you need to stretch your dollar but still want real beef.
Tvp is great. Spice it right and u can fool the shit out of your carnivore uncle if it’s in hamburger helper style meals
You deserve it.
Pushed to work a job you don’t enjoy. It gives you money, and emptiness. You fill the emptiness with the money. Now you need money, and are still empty.
