The following is a true story:

Got there. There were four people ahead of me. Wait. Let me start at the beginning.

I was born on a cold winter's night in 19...wait. Too far.

So I placed an order via app. Set the pick up time for 12 noon. Got there early. Hit the 'I'm here, make my order.' Walk in to wait the few minutes it takes to make the greatest food on earth. (Got the cantina burrito --best new item on the menu since the Crunchwrap-- and a free chalupa)

Noticed there were four people standing waiting. Plus an older couple at a table also waiting. No problemo

Drive through is moving briskly. Orders up and out faster than you can say, 'Epstein didn't kill himself.'

15 minutes goes by before the first person in the restaurant got their food. Big giant of a man who was definitely there before me is a mask of tranquility. I too am calm. Waits happen.

20 minutes go by. Drive through orders coming in and going out with gusto. I'm sitting there thinking WT...fill in the last letter of your choosing. Remember Jesus is watching.

The...person behind the scenes making the food finally offers us our cups. It buys no good will. I ask 'How much longer.' 'I'm making it now,' she replies. Guess the ninth commandment doesn't matter to her.

I ask the giant, 'Ho there! How long hath thou been waiting?'

He says. 'I don't know. I've lost track of time.' I chuckle sensibly.

Walmart employee walks in. I tell him, 'Yung buck. You gwan wait 30. No doubt.' He says, 'Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.' and walks back out.

10 more minutes goes by and your boy is starting to get miffed. If I hadn't already paid I'd have walked out, pockets loaded with taco sauce as payback. I begin to violently call down curses on this place (in my head) and vow never to return.

If the Giant gets his food before me, I plan to tell him: 'Tell the world what happened here.'

5 more minutes and I finally get my food. I think maybe she's an artist. Maybe this will be the best TB I've ever had. <spoiler> It wasn't.

As I begin to walk out, I says to the giant, I says, 'Good luck man.'

He cool as a cucumber, with his giant head and hands, replies with a heartfelt 'Thanks, brother.'

As I head out the door, the...person behind the counter asks him "what order are you waiting for?'

He calmly replies, 'Craig.'

Please lift up prayers for Craig the Giant.

You just delayed your diarrhea by 30 minutes
 
Their staff are high teenagers and low skill immigrants. It's basically what you can expect. Not worth the 20 bucks imo.
 
I feel like Taco Bell consumers check off at least one of these boxes.

Vape.
Drive a Miata with a Nintendo controller hanging off the back.
Play video games all day.
Live in parents basement.
 
You know you can just drive off. Little life hack that can prevent future visits to Taco Bell
there.
 
Fast food employees are usually monitored on the amount of time they spend on each drive-thru car. So even though there's no official "drive-thru > walk-in" policy, the people in cars always get their food first. Should of stayed in the car. App ordering is just a walk-in with extra steps.

Should have asked him if he is on Sherdog. If not, get him to join. We need more level-headed people on here, not a bunch of middle aged men hitting on innocent co-workers.
 
They prioritize the drive through cuz the orders are timed .
If you ever hear that annoying beep constantly going off a Taco Bell it's the drive through timer.
They're supposed to get the order taken within the first minute from when you pull up which is why a lot of them get pissy if you take forever to order . The food is supposed to be out in something like under 3 minutes unless you're ordering more than 10 items.

Cars can't exactly just move out of the way also so they want to keep the line moving . Inside customers get screwed by this .
Also if they are running both lines they tend to put the slower people on the inside food cuz there's less priority on that . So if you're in a hurry drive through is usually a better option .
