“I was so happy about the Taco Bell when I moved to Gate City. Coming from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm used to the Taco Bell employees punching my taco before they hand it to me. And it can be kind of frustrating knowing that whole damn crew smokes weed but not a single one of them can roll a f'ing burrito. 🙄 But the one here is awesome! A whole year and I haven't got a single messed up order or a taco that was beat to shit. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is. Thank you! You guys are the shit! 💙👊🏻“
