Had a lovely transaction at the drive thru. The young man at the window looked me in the eye, provided a friendly smile and pleasant conversation for the few moments I was at the window. In a generation where I find pleasantries and eye contact is lacking, this gentleman is well above the bar! Kudos to you young man!“
“I have been going to Taco Bell since they first opened MANY years ago. Most of their stores are very clean. While their selections have expanded, so have the prices, and in some cases, dramatically. You're encouraged to use the touch screen near the entrance to place your order. I am sure that they did that to cut down on ordering errors. The quality of the food is good. Nothing to get excited about, and mostly bland, hence the enormous amount of sauces, from mild to HOT, available to bring out the flavor. Part of the process is asking you to make a donation by rounding up any cash below the next highest dollar. Arbitrarily, if you are ordering a taco for a dollar, and your bill would be $1.09, including 8.625% tax, they want you to essentially pay double for the same taco. I refuse to do that. I limit my entire charitable contributions to the Salvation Army, where 100% of your donation goes to help many thousands of men and women addicted to drugs and alcohol. Some charities siphon of HALF of the money they get and share it with their staff. They should be ashamed. 'nuf said.“
