Taco Bell

It was filthy, tables and floors. There wasn’t a clean table in there. The manager was very rude to his employees, yelling at them at the counter where the customers were standing waiting to order. After about 10 minutes he clapped his hands over his head and said someone needs to take our order.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, of Harrison Taco Bell, as written by a visitor passing through.
Starring:
Incompetent Manager (IM)
Gay Guy (GG)
Nice girl cashier (NGC)
THE GOOD:
They were all extremely nice and accommodating. Very friendly. The food was really good, and prepared right. The NGC with the funny name was a minority of sort, but couldn’t quite make out her race. I thought Harrison was lily white. I saw the white pride billboard on the edge of town. Good for her.
THE BAD:
Lets see, it was 10:30, but me and my boys wanted taco bell. We were the only ones in there, and NOBODY came in after us the whole time. Drive thru was pretty steady though. We still had to wait a long time for our order. She apologized though. There were like 5 employees there, not sure what they were doing. They seemed to be busy stocking supplies and such around the kitchen. The GG showed up and immediately noticed the IM’s new bleach blond died hair. He complemented it. I’m sure he was just being nice, because it looked like her cousin did it in the kitchen of her singlewide with dollar store hair dye. She said it’s only party done, it’s going to be blue later. I’m sure it will look fantastic! I’m just surprised theres a GG living in harrison.
I notice that the IM is pretty bossy. Not sure if she’s a real manager, or just the person in charge and on a power trip. I also notice that my Double Decker Taco supremes lack tomatoes and sour cream. I know taco bell front and back and I also know damn well that a Double Decker Taco supreme is supposed to have tomatoes and sour cream. I don’t even like tomatoes, but I want my sour cream. I look at my ticket to see that it is indeed correct. I ask the NGC for some sour cream as my double decker taco supremes lacked it. She went back to the IM and asked for some. I could see her with a funny look saying, «Sure, I guess» like I just wanted it for free without paying. Then, I could hear the NGC tell her that he ordered supremes. She said, «Ok, but I think you rang it up as regular double decker tacos». WRONG! I have my ticket. Wasn’t going to let her blame the NGC. She probably gets enough grief living in a shithole racist town like harrison as it is. I told the girl it was rang up right, I looked at my ticket. She asked if I wanted some tomatoes too. She knows that a Double Decker Taco Supreme is supposed to have tomatoes. I politely declined. I sat down and enjoyed my taco bell. It’s a good thing I ate before I noticed THE UGLY.
THE UGLY
After I finished, I was waiting on my kids and I felt an ant crawling on me. Looked down to find several and noticed that the booth I was sitting in was crawling with them. Ants were all on the seat, down in the crack, and on the next booth, the window sill, everything. We moved to a center table. I understand, as with all the rain, then the heat, the ants have been bad. However, at this point, I started noticing other things. I went for a drink refill and saw a dead roach on the floor. Hey, I worked fast food, I know all restaurants have them. This one was dead though and looked like it had been there a while. Also, the floors were filthy. I mean, there were crumbs and pieces of food everywhere. Under almost every table there were pieces of food. And trash. Straw wrappers. It was actually really bad, one of the worst I’ve seen. There were lots of flies everywhere as well. I started really looking hard and I saw a live roach crawl across the floor and under another booth. I saw another one that was kicking, but not quite well.
Now, I don’t know if the breakfast crowd was just busy and messy or not, but I get the impression that all that was leftover from the night crew or something. It needed to be swept bad. No wonder there were so many ants and roaches.
About that time, the IM comes out and I show her the ants. She is very upset about them and says thanks. Then, she goes to the back and comes out with what appears to be a special bug spray. She sprays it around the booth area and on the ants, then strategically sprays it around the dining area. Then she goes back to work. Didn’t notice if she washed or not, but really wishing I would have watched for that. So now, the whole dining room smells like bug spray. Not very appetizing. Also, there are now dead ants on the booths. She didn’t even attempt to wipe them off. Just left them. Never even crossed her mind to have one of the 5 people waiting around the kitchen to go sweep the lobby. They waited for her to boss them around and tell them to restock this, or bring out more of that. I mean, I actually watched her spray the bug spray under some booths and directly onto trash and food. She left it all there and just sprayed it.
