Went there for lunch, and as much as I should know better, I was hoping that I'd get someone other than a fuckin' fresh-off-the-boat Flip to wait on me...no such luck.
First, the counter person was wearing a shift leader badge, so I figured I may have lucked out. I had a "buy one burrito supreme, get one free" coupon. I also ordered a small soda. The total came out to $3.11 (which, amazingly, was correct). I gave Einstein a $20 bill, a dime, and a penny. She looked at me and said, "THREE eleben", empasizing the word "three" and also sliding the dime and penny back to me. I just gave her the "WTF?!" look and slid the dime and penny back. She looked stupified for about 10 seconds, put the $20 in the register, gave me $17 back and slid the dime and penny back to me again. Although they lost out on only 11 cents, the fact that a shift leader couldn't figure out basic math was pretty pitiful.
Then, since I had another similar coupon and could use only "one coupon per visit", I decided to go through the drive-thru and take something back to work. When I got to the speaker (which had a sign that said to mention coupons before ordering), I told the person "I have a buy two tacos and get one free" coupon, and that would be my order. When I drove up, the total was $1.69 (which seemed a bit cheap, since plain tacos were 99 cents). When she gave me my order, I looked in and saw only two tacos. I gave her the bag back and asked her to repeat my order. She looked a me incredulously and said, "Two taco supreme?" Since when does "two tacos and get one free" sound like "two taco supreme"? I took her a minute to et the order straight, but she did, and I got the three tacos for about 30 cents less than I should have.
I have been going to the same Taco Bell (near the base) for almost 20 years, and in all that time I've seen two--count 'em, two--non-Filipinos working there. It's amazing how something so simple can be so frustrating.
Ba-dang!
