best combination of items?

How on earth do you take your breakfast commercials seriously

how does it feel you have the gaul to lash out on McDonalds Breakfast

>>5555428
I would say the Cheesy Fiesta potatoes with a Bean burrito or the new Quesarito with a cheese roll up. A Baja blast goes with anything.

>>5555433
The breakfast commercials are so horrible I know bro lol, and McDonalds breakfast is meh, the AM Crunchwrap is god tier

>>5555421
what is the worst item you serve in your opinion
worst ingredient?
any stories of shithead employees

>>5555448
Worst item imo is the Mexican pizza. Taco Bell tried too hard on that one. I have fired a couple of employees because of their shithead behavior. I would say the worst one was when I caught an employee smoking weed during a 24 hr night shift. Personally myself I smoke but it was on camera so I couldn't let it slide

How many people ask for the Doritos Locos Tacos

aren't those like your most popular selling item

>>5555462
A LOT. We ran out of Doritos shells one day and a lot of customers were mad lol. Yeah they are the most popular item besides the new Quesarito and surprisingly the breakfast menu

>>5555421

How thorough are Background checks for employment and are their any charges that automatically disqualify one for employment?

Does it vary by store or manager?

>>5555487
Varies by manager. I usually dont issue background checks unless the employee is visually suspicious. Obvious charges would be robbery, murder, etc

What's the worst you've seen or heard people do and does it happen often?

Wipe their dirty hands on food? Pick up dropped food and serve it?

Do you guys have stores of the old spanish rice in your fridge? Before they replaced everything with that shit cilantro lime rice?

I was just scrolling down /ck/ eating my nachos bell grande and I saw this thread..weird a'f

>>5555421
What's with satanic 666s in logo?

captcha: 2012

Why the hell is Taco Bell trying to shove that awful shredded chicken goop down our throats? It fucking sucks ass and they put it in everything. I have make sure they replace it with normal chicken every time I go.

>>5555495
At my location things dont usually happen that much because I make sure of it. I've seen employees sneeze on food, drop it and serve it, etc.

>>5555496
Yeah lol Taco Bell's used to refrigerate rice and just heat it back up the next day or make a new batch.

>>5555502
That is hilarious, only stupid people would notice that hahaa

>>5555507
One word bro. Processed.

When are you going to bring back the black olives and flavour?

>>5555508
faggots that do things to food that they would themselves never eat.... they should rot in prison

>>5555513
Dude black olives were the shit, I loved them burritos. I'm gonna suggest that

>>5555514
I agree

>>5555512
>plain as day
>dood! you're such a dumbass! lol x) x)

how much do you make
how old are you
how long have you been working there
how long do you expect to work there

What is the most difficult position in the store for you to staff?
If someone was doing so well at that job you knew you couldn't find someone better, and they weren't leaving the job because they were hoping to move up in the company, would you keep them from being promoted?

tl;dr
Would or have you impeded the upward mobility of an employee because you found them too useful where they are? effectively punishing them for their good work?

>>5555528
I make about 41k a year, I am 28 years old. I have been working at my location for about 9 years now. I expect to be promoted to District Manager so for much longer.

>>5555539
If I see an employee is doing REALLY well, I'll give them a small raise or better hours, maybe even free food.

GET

Which days do you have off?

>>5555605
Any days I please, I can only take off 4 days though.

>>5555608
which days do you normally take off?

>>5555609
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, perfect for ,e

>>5555609

What's a modification to an item that you'd reccomend to improve it?

>>5555636
The steak. Definitely the steak.

Which is your favorite griller?

Is there any way to get discontinued menu items prepared still?

I'm craving a Grilled Stuft Nacho right about now.

>>5555651
Loaded potato. The flavor is so fucking amazing.

>>5555655
Yes but only if you have a friend who works at a Taco Bell and knows how to make it

>>5555502
Nigga that is clearly a 9.

why did you get rid of the based grilled stuft nacho?

Do fast food workers really spit in the food?

>>5555421
it doesn't really put you out to grill a burrito, does it?

cause my local bell just acts like it's a hate crime to ask for my burrito to be grilled. i say please and offer to pay extra. they look at me and huff every time.

>>5555421
What is your store's rank?

I am a manager at a top 100 nationally ranked store.

>>5555751
Fucking no, that stereotype is retarded.

>>5555907
Grilling a burrito is hella simple. When we won't like you is if you get like 11 grilled items in the drive-thru. In lobby you can order whatever the fuck you want and we won't care at all.

>>5555918
>Fucking no
so what do you do instead?

what would be healthiest thing to ordeR?bean and rice burrito?

>>5555920
I don't mess with people's food. Why would I?

The people who make your food aren't even the same people who take your order, so even being a prick is unlikely to make anything happen to your food.

You might get someone not wearing gloves or the like, but this is as bad as I've seen it, and that's from working 9 different Taco Bells between 3 companies.

>>5555421
I got hot sauce in my eye. What do?

Yo dude ausfag here. When will they open a taco place in sydney??. Because I have never eaten a taco, only a shitty vegeterian one in cooking class.

>>5555421
Where is the nearest taco stand ?

Im 19 and looking for a job and can't seem to find one. Really kept shying away from fast food places but is working at taco bell bad? I really just need a job and was considering applying there. Would you recommend a taco bell job?

Back in december you fuckers had like a "grilled stuffed nacho" that was the greatest gift the gods had sent the fast food industry and one day you stopped having it.

Am I going to lose the Quesoritto too? Because I'm going to be mad.

>>5555977
>queso fresco and avocado on a taco

nigger what is this

>>5556108
>tomatillo salsa and cotija cheese
ftfy you uncultured swine

>>5555421

Yeah, how about you explain this bullshit.

>>5556134
every single fast food franchise does this

>>5556134

There's a million taco places in Sydney

>>5556136
More like every single advertisement for every food ever.

Why is Taco Bell so good when I'm absolutely blitzed?

How many people do you get coming into the store that are stoned?

Why does your delicious garbage make me shit live napalm?

>>5555421
Where do you guys get your baja from?

>>5555421
which of the many discontinued items to you miss the most? I'd endure horrible things for one more cheesy bean and rice burrito in its original form, that was the best thing. I hear some places still make them but it uses different rice and a different or no sauce, is this true?

>>5556356
The cheesy bean and rice burrito can not be directly recreated since the Mexican (red) rice was entirely replaced by the Latin (green) rice.

However, many stores still have it on the menu, and all Taco Bells carry its ingredients. These are as follows: Bean, Rice, Nacho Cheese, Creamy Jalapeno Sauce, and Pico de Gallo. The CB&R on the menu actually no longer comes with pico, but you can add it to make the original burrito in its proper form.

If a store does NOT carry the cheesy bean and rice (I'm actually not sure if there are any that don't, but just to be thorough here), order a beefy cheesy burrito, add creamy jalapeno sauce and substitute beans for beef. This will get you a cheesy bean and rice for like $1.10, depending on what that store charges for the CJ sauce. The pico de gallo is optional, and should cost around $.35 to add.

>>5555421

Where can I get your delicious cheese sauce? I live for that sauce. No matter what i order from the menu i always ask for extra nacho cheese either in it or on the side. Please tell me where, or if i can order it from the manufacturer or anything. i need this chese.

>>5555421
What's the least disgusting items on your menu?
I'm thinking the steak quesadilla would be one of the better ones

>>5555421
How big is your dick? Cut or uncut? Boxers or briefs?

>>5557027
thanks man, I'll try this out. the old orange spanish rice really made it good but I think it might still be OK with the new stuff . I don't know what it was about that specific combination of ingredients but it was my all time favorite thing from there. my mom even still talks about how based it used to be, she was a fan.

I like the new rice but really miss the classic red stuff, I wish we could have both.

>>5557071
please answer my question.

>>5555466
>new Quesarito
chances it will stay on the menu? Its my new go-to, even over the Cheesy G. Crunch..

How do you feel about 'custom' orders- like 'can you use this sauce/shell instead of x' etc. Like if I wanted a dorito taco fried like a chalupa, or use that sell in a church, would that be cool or would I end up with spit food.

>>5555507
The spicy chicken is awesome shut your whore mouth.

>>5555547
>free food
you dont just let employs make a burrito or shit? Fuck that sucks.

>>5557071
If you talk to the RGM (general manager) at a Taco Bell, he may be willing to sell you a bag of it. This isn't technically allowed, but I've seen it happen. Try a few different stores and you should get a taker.

The bag just has to be heated via hot water immersion, and you'll have delicious nacho cheese ready to serve. It only comes in pretty large bags though, so you'd have to be prepared to have a lot of nacho cheese.

>>5557194
The quesarito was introduced as a promotional (read temporary) item, but due to its popularity, there's talk of it hanging around. It could definitely become a permanent item, but I'd say the odds still aren't in its favor.

Custom orders are fine as long as they aren't ridiculous. Substituting sauces and stuff is super easy, just don't be a dick if you get charged extra for it. Sometimes you can get it substituted at no charge, but for most modifications, it has to be charged, even if you're removing something to put something else on there. Ordering things prepared differently is a little different. A lot of things actually violate health codes, like we definitely could NOT fry a doritos shell, not only because it wouldn't work at all, but because cheese powder in the fryer is a no-fly zone.

The only thing I really care about with modifications is that you be cognizant of how busy the store is at the time, if you're ordering something pretty outlandish. As a rule of thumb, doing crazy custom things in drive-thru is sort of a dick move, since drive-thru service is timed, and there's no way for kitchen workers to ask you for clarification on how you'd like something made. Subbing meats, sauces, additions, etc. is really easy though. When I say outlandish I mean like... a taco salad with every ingredient prepared separately as a side.

Something that isn't a big deal but is kind of a pet-peeve of mine is when people make custom orders and do it in a really stupid way, like instead of saying "A chicken burrito, grilled instead of shredded chicken" they'll say "A chicken burrito, but I don't want none of that nasty little chicken, I want the classic chicken." By the time they've got halfway through their sentence I already know what they mean, and keeping orders simple is the best way to get it done in a timely manner with a high degree of accuracy. The more you say, the more likely you are to confuse the order-taker into making a mistake.

>>5555421
How much you get paid?

is the new breakfast stuff good?

i haven't tried any of it yet.

>>5555655

Can it be made by modifying an existing item? For example, they discontinued the Nacho Cheese chalupas, but you can still order a Chalupa Supreme, hold the sour cream, add nacho cheese.

whyd lava sauce get taken off? is it coming back?

>>5557709
am crunchwrap is my shit

everything else is eh

beefy crunch burrito when

>>5556144
That's actually pretty interesting. I hope that's really how they do it, and not the whole "the milk is really glue" horror stories you hear about other food pictures.

Supposedly, Taco Bell plans to make 2014 the year of XXL. As they put it, 2014 is all about going big, thus the XXL nacho XXL taco, and triple steak stack all being sold so far. It's pure conjecture, but I would expect the XXL chalupa to possibly be coming back soon.

>>5557747
You might not be able to get it wrapped as a triangle, but the beefy nacho griller with sour cream, add cheesy jalapeno sauce, and if you're technical, then extra strips would be the same.

Unfortunately, the cheesy jalapeno sauce was promo'd specifically for the GSN, so it's been discontinued. Try it with baja sauce perhaps, or creamy chipotle.

>>5557750
Taco Bell decided to discontinue the volcano menu. My guess is it's so that they could promo more sauces. This year we've had the cheesy jalapeno, fiery sauce, and chipotle ranch sauces all debut, which is quite a lot of variety for bottled sauces.

>>5555421
>ANYTHING.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

>They should be fuckin' killed, man. No trial, no jury. Straight to execution.

>>5558906
We talkin African or European swallow?

>>5558918
Uh, I don't know that.

>>5558896
xxl chalupa sucked man, it was just too big and floppy to keep itself together. xxl steak crunchy taco is great, xxl nachos with shredded chicken are the best nachos taco bell has had. what I want to see is a xxxl crunchwrap the size of a pizza.

How come you put so much sour cream inside your burritos?

I got a beef burrito and it was literally half-filled with nothing but sour cream.

I had to toss it out my car window.

Why did you get rid of good big boxes?

Cheesy Gordita Crunch box is kill, Crunchwrap Supreme box is kill - why?

Why don't you guys have $0.39 tacos on certain days of the week anymore? Those tacos aren't worth $0.89 or whatever they are priced now.

What is in the red sauce?

>>5555555

>>5559420
Those sour cream guns are OP as fuck.

>>5559420
>I had to toss it out my car window.
Did it hit a biker, who trashed his bike and then punted your dog?

>>5556134
The ads aren't made to show you "hey, this what it'll look like" theyre more to show all the ingredients

What is the most disgusting thing someone has done to your bathrooms?

Did you have to clean it up or did you make your employees do it

>>5559669
no they are made to entice you to buy their product so they make it look as appealing as possible.

>>5559670
To me, vomit is always worst. I don't mind a little shit accident, but puke makes me pretty queasy. As the boss, cleaning up puke and prepping pico de gallo are really the only two things that I no longer do.

How many niggers do you work with?

>>5560060
Two.

They're both pretty cool, though one sucks at his job. I'm looking to promote the other one pretty soon though.

>>5557110
you said ask my ANYTHING OP. Please answer my questions.

>>5560089
OP hasn't been in this thread in ages. I'm a different Taco Bell manager.

I prefer panties > briefs > boxers

>>5559598
We got rid of that shit because my diarrhea kept sliding off my ballsack and onto the fryer that is why our beef tastes so yummy yummy tummy.

>>5559426
Those big boxes were for storing my hard shit lumps we still offer them to pricks and dickholes eat a dick nigga lol.

>>5560101
cock size? cut or uncut?

>>5560183
I don't have a cock. Please stop asking.

>>5560195
What is the biggest penis you have been intimate with?

>>5560195
Whenever you are a grill working a grill do you ever feel redundant redundant?

Can I get some free fuckin food??? Lol!

>>5560216
I have to admit I chuckled.

>>5555458
mexican pizza is one of the best items wtf man

>>5557709
it's meh
am crunchwrap is the shit tho.
I love the bacon one

What happened to all the Taco Bells in Australia? Shit got replaced by like, KFC's

How do you get your service times so fucking low?
Every time I go in the dining room at the taco bell near me, they're always running like a 60 in the drive thru, when we're doing good to run a 90-some at wendy's. What gives?

>>5555445
I know you're a manager, but shill harder. McD's breakfast is better than TB

>>5555421
What the other 12% meat?

>>5561102
not a TB worker, but McD b-fast is shit.

>>5557278
>odds not in its favor

so when its discontinued, how do I ask for one? Like what should i say? beefy 5 layer burrito grilled with nacho cheese?

>>5555421
Do you guys get some kind of pay bonus for limiting how many packets of sauce you give out? I swear I could buy $20 worth of food and they'd give me three mild sauce packets. Are you all just a bunch of Jews being stingy out of habit?

>>5555466
is the quesarito just the nacho cheese sauce? like in a 5-layer except its rice and chicken inside?

>>5561100
I can't tell you how Wendy's works, but the trick is being rush ready and having a team that's willing to work together and go fast. Literally every person there has to make every second count if you want to get 50 second averages.

>>5561620
The quesarito (like the 5-layer) has both nacho cheese and cheddar cheese, though it has a larger portion of cheddar than the 5-layer does. Then you're correct about it having rice instead of bean. The other difference is that the quesarito includes the creamy chipotle sauce, but this honestly doesn't make a huge difference.

>>5561564
Our sauce costs money. When you have hundreds of transactions per day, giving 2-3 fewer sauce packets to each customer makes a huge difference. Our standard is a surprisingly low ratio of 1 packet to 2 food items. The funny thing though is how little sauce some people use. If you want to use a lot of sauce, just say something like "8 packets please" instead of getting upset when someone can't read your mind to figure how much you want.

>>5555421
why dont you use cheese in the quesarito wrapping?

>>5555555
what off menu items are there

How would I go about ordering a queso crunchwrap? they were awesome but they've been gone a long time.

also any reason why the distortion freeze is gone? I loved it.

>>5556134
the tacos i get look like the left

>>5556134
>>5559671
Fuck you, cunt.
>>5559669
has it right. The picture uses the correct amount of filling in the final product, in order to avoid false advertisement claims. The filling is piled up on one side instead of spread out along the bottom, so you can "see what's in it". (Because some dipshits actually come back and say I'M ALLERGIC TO CHEESE I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS CHEESE IN THIS" etc)

>>5561100
In my locale, the district corporate branch buys pizza for the store that has the lowest average time every Friday evening.
Carrots on sticks, man.

>>5561674
My store has had the fastest drive times of any in the company for 19 weeks in a row, but we never get anything from the regional level or above. I'll get my guys starbucks and the like from time to time, but it's hardly a regular thing, unfortunately.

Why did you become a Taco Bell manager, Mitch?
