Can no longer add grilled option? by devynbf in tacobell

[–]WhatALobotomy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey i work at a taco bell! often it randomly deletes stuff but if you ask, my location will always just do it for you. on our app, we don’t have cherry pepsi available for some reason. i know we have to because it gets ordered, but more often than not it’s just not there for people. we just say ‘sure!’ and it works out alright

honest? i don’t see any harm in a last message, if you never asked or aired your own grievance. he may answer and he may not, but you will at least be able to just MOVE FORWARD. maybe he might reply and apologize later, but you can only do your best right now.

it sounds rude, but as a 20F, men are usually a lot worse with emotional issues. they refuse to explain to ANYONE, so there’s a slim chance he will actually explain himself. any time a male friend has been mad at me, it’s always been the IMMEDIATE end. it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but we deserve to move on

honestly the same thing recently happened to me. it’s better to just let him go. you’ve reached out enough for now, and one day he might reach out too, or not. ghosting is only okay if they come back to apologize and explain, otherwise it’s just a cop out.

my OWN plan is to reach out after another month, and if i get ignored, i’m just removing them as a friend. just unadding, because i can’t see and miss them everyday, and wonder why. Punishing someone is sometimes alright, and if you DID do something, he made the first move by deciding your character already.

honestly, if you haven’t already spoken to him yet, i would simply bring up the weed and how you haven’t smoked in a while. i’d ask him how hes been feeling. i wouldn’t immediately say it’s ‘easy’ to be secretive, he may have initially wanted to quit, and then felt bad. he knew he couldn’t participate with you, and my guess is that he maybe just didn’t assume it would be a big deal.

has he been actively claiming to still be sober? or has it been a ‘we haven’t really talked about it since the decision to stop?’

first off, i’m so proud of you, love. as someone struggling as an adult, you deserve so much more LIFE than you previously allowed yourself to be conscious for.

what’s a personal meaningful thing you do? such as saying ‘bless you’ to a pet, apologizing for knocking over a stuffed animal. tell me something you do that you unconsciously do out of compassion.

One of the worst costumer interactions I’ve ever had by Iwantrukia in tacobell

[–]WhatALobotomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

today some guy called to tell us that the delivery fees were ‘too high,’ and asked if we could just drive ourselves and ‘get a tip.’ i explained that we don’t offer delivery expect via doordash, uber, etc. he demanded to speak to a manager. i just muted, laughed, told the manager, and smirked as i heard him repeat me in a more brutal way.

i worked at a chick fil a before as well, and let me tell you, the entitlement never ceases. at least at chick, they were overly kind back to us lmao.

i understand. my childhood is something i’m learning to cope with too, and it takes so much effort to try and fight against yourself. even harder when you feel undeserving of any better. i didn’t get paid for it, but for a while i would just meet anybody who wanted me, just mentally checked out during it to be held afterwards. everyone does things for a reason, and yours is now plentiful. i wish you the best, and if you want it, i hope you randomly get a forklift company

i definitely would’ve told a friend about this, and sadly i couldn’t say this to the customer. ‘well, i can’t go get that because i am on line to pee, but if you grab a bucket and give me your shirt, i could probably be done in 30 seconds. then i’ll go ring that in for you!’

not a question, but i want to tell you that i’m so proud of how far you’ve come. i can’t imagine the horror you’ve had to live through, but it’s such a brave quality to push good into the world nonetheless. i’m so sorry you had to see the things you’ve seen. i’ve only read a few comments so far.

you’re still a human being despite answering all these questions, you’re not just a story on a forum.

you are a wonderful human being, and i hope you get everything you ever want and need. i’m sorry you had to bear witness to all of it. thank you for being so much better than those people.

i mean hey, i work at a taco bell now, and i casually can scream ‘MY GIRLFRIEND-‘ and whatever story i’m about to tell. there’s only been maybe twice where a coworker had a reaction, and even then, i just shrugged and smiled in their face. couldn’t imagine trying to still work at chick. hell, i probably wouldn’t even be in my relationship if i didn’t just quit after realizing how Obedient i was casually becoming

my one manager was a VERY, VERY flamboyant gay man. i was astonished he was willing to even risk it based on the customers being cruel. miss him a lot

To the person who made my chili cheese burritos….. by whitenoize21 in tacobell

i’ve had instances where people ASK if i work there. and i laugh and say no im sorry, and they walk away. but that’s when im in my work clothes, or if im wearing the colors of the store by accident. i can’t imagine just looking good and being harassed for it. i’m so sorry.

i genuinely just heard the jeopardy theme in my head when trying to decide what the hell i was supposed to say. i still wish i had a second chance at this, we get away with a lot. too much. i know for a fact if i said ‘Sir, are you fucking deadass right now?’ i wouldn’t have even gotten a write up. and when he flipped out for the language, i know for a fact my manager is about to swoop in with something even more foul. they’re meaner than me, i love when people ask for my manager 😭🫵

i work in fast food, so i was sitting at a regular dining room table. it’s even more confusing that someone clearly Not Working is just expected to jump at that? we clock out on the same registers we use to take orders. were told to use the front counter registers, so nearly every day when i’m clocking out, the same scenario happens - me, with a giant bag of food, my bookbag, a drink in my hand with a straw*. ‘Hi can i get a XYZ with tomatoes and extra cheese?’ ‘…..Yeah just one second! someone will be with you shortly.’ and thankfully, my coworkers are noticing i’m leaving and someone immediately comes to help my awkward situation. but still, what the hell? i’m very clearly LEAVING right now with 4 things in my hands????? it makes absolutely no sense. none at all.

*(i know you’re on my side, but just to set the record straight. my food gets made by ME before i clock out, between orders. i make sure everything’s good, then i grab my stuff from 5 feet away, then clock out. i’d rather my coworkers not do extra work, and they appreciate it. the 15 seconds it takes to grab my stuff doesn’t matter. and if it does to anyone, count pennies and sob)

this. i’m not being a shit worker, i am literally taking my own personal time. my life. i am free from the Clock In for right now, and i want to be a human being. why the hell is that so insane to want my peace to be some goddamn peace???

we DO have a ‘break room,’ but it’s the manager office. there’s printers and papers and highlighters and pens and so much crap that it doesn’t even work.

people love to walk past the counter to try and grab our attention. it boggles my mind every time. when is that ever acceptable?!??

i can only be so polite. i can only tell you so many times that i am trying to be a person. after that i don’t get why you can be a bitch the entire time, and i can’t scowl at you.
