Taco Hell Drama

I can finally say my headache is gone. I just hope it stays that way. I didn’t feel like cooking with a killer headache, so I asked Hubby if he would mind riding to town to pick something up. Then I suddenly got a craving for Taco Hell Bell and decided riding with him might make me feel better.

When we got in line at the drive-thru we ended up behind one of those people I want to drag out of their car and strangle after beating them unconscious.

This woman was not only in the drive-thru placing orders for god only knows how many people, she wanted them all as separate orders. We could hear every word the drive-thru chick was saying because they keep their speaker ungodly loud.

The woman in front of us said she had multiple orders. By the time she was done with her 4th order, headed to her 5th, the drive-thru chick told her she couldn’t place anymore separate ones and would have to add everything else as a final order. The Weird Al Yankovic- Trapped In The Drive-Thru song started running through my head!

15 minutes later she was done ordering, and her bill came up to $104.39…AT TACO HELL! I know their prices aren’t exactly cheap, but that’s a shit load of food. I can’t stand when someone goes through the drive-thru and places an order like that. Why? Because the drive-thru is supposed to be the fast route. If you’re going to order food for everybody in your freakin’ office/family/neighborhood go inside to do it.

We were ready to pull off 5 minutes into her order, but we were stuck. Taco Bell’s drive-thru is lined with bushes, so you can’t go around. We couldn’t back up because there was a line of cars behind us. Our only option was to wait and pull through.

When we finally made it to the window I was already pissed, but the drive-thru chick just made it worse. Instead of asking us if she could take our order she asked us to “wait a few minutes because we just had a huge order in front of you. We’re kind of shut down in here until it’s out of the way.” By that time Hubby was ranting and raving.

People behind us were starting to back out of the drive-thru lane one at a time, but the guy behind us refused to budge. Apparently he doesn’t mind sitting in the drive-thru for 30 minutes BEFORE he orders because we ended up stuck there for 25 minutes before we could even place our order. We still couldn’t pull forward to leave because the woman with the huge order was sitting at the window blocking us. Hubby didn’t want to give them any of our business, but I was starving. After sitting there that long I didn’t want to sit somewhere else even longer before getting my food.

I eventually ended up with a Mexican pizza (and the shells were stale) and one of those Mango Strawberry Frutista Freezes. The Freeze thing was really good, and it ended up being what cured my headache. I gave myself a brain freeze, and suddenly my headache was gone!

I ended up coming home, calling Taco Bell to complain, and making myself a sandwich. I sure a hell wasn’t going back up there to fix the stale food after waiting that long, but I can promise you I won’t be going there again.
