I asked for no sauce and got these instead (lemmy.world)

Not only did Taco Bell give me way to many sauce packets as usual. I received them in individual little bags. Fucking environmental waste. Especially frustrating when I said No sauces. They never listen.

My American friends call it Taco Hell. But, the sauce does say you're cute, so, you know, take it as a compliment. As for the bags, does your province have a recycling center? Because, if so, you could do what Taco Hell would never do: recycle the bags. It's a drop in the bucket, but each drop adds to the ocean.

Fast food creates environmental waste.

Those packets are nothing compared to the rest.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

God working at Subway with all that paper and plastic feeling bad only to realize the immense scale that every subway trash, then every fast food chain, every restaurant and every store made me feel bad for every trash bag I had to toss cause it had a cup in it

[–] PaulBunyan@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe you’re missing the fact that they gave you a sauce packet that says “You’re cute!” Dude’s trying to flirt?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Well damn I missed that entirely. It was a lady who gave me the bags. I don't think my wife would have approved with me fucking the taco bell lady.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I dunno man does she like sauce because Diablo sauce is tasty enough she might let it slide.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 10 points 18 hours ago

Today op learns they could probably have gotten laid but instead cried about sauce online.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, to be fair....you DID go to taco bell. That's kind of your fault.

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 19 points 23 hours ago

guy acts like tb employees are making 6 figures XD

We really do need a “don’t hand shit out that people don’t ask for” law in the world in general. It’s such a waste for everyone involved.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

We have that law in Denver. I think most restaurants ignore it, but it's a start at least.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

It's a waste for MOST people. Then there's people like me. I don't have uses for everything I get. They go into storage.

Then one day, someone is like "Hey, remember MC Hammer? Ha! It would be funny if we could listen to his 1991 album right now.

And then I'm like "be right back".

And then people are like "why do you HAVE this???"

And I say "I was using it as a doorstop. I needed something I didn't care about that would just end up in a landfill."

That is too legit to quit!

I keep collecting glass jars, but I am running out of places to put them. But can't dare throw them out.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Glass is recyclable.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

it makes me happy when i get a jar or bottle with one of the little nubs on the bottom sanded off

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I buy pesto sauce from Aldis. They come in little glass jars.

I use them to portion out protein powder. So instead of 1 big plastic jug, I have about 50 little glass jars.

Each one a single use that fits easily into my gym bag.

For bigger ones, like pickle jars, you could fill it with candy, or pasta, or coins, or cereal.

Stays fresher longer sealed in glass, than just in a plastic bag inside a box.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I have the same jars.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

That be a good law.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

I’ve had a similar experience with doner kebab. I asked the server for only half the meat and more salad instead. After I had watched him cut an unreasonable amount of meat off his rotisserie (thinking it was for a different customer) and fill a piece of bread to the brim with it, he asked ‘no salad, right?’ :/

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In some accents “No sauce” sounds a lot like “Mo’ sauce”.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

No money, mo sauce!

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I used to be a food cost manager in fast food and those stupid little packets cost a fortune. That’s why you get very stingy fast food workers — you need to specify how many sauce packets you need while ordering, not at the window.

While I’m in a tangent, also tell your waiter ahead of time if you need more fucking ranch dressing. I do not miss serving people and the first thing they bark out is “can I get more ranch dressing?” Bitch you sure can but maybe order it ahead of time, now I have to make an entire additional trip just for you.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Assuming you're talking about waiting tables and not fast food, how do you expect people to know both how much ranch they'll need and how much comes in a single order before seeing the food? Plus any decent server knows to check in shortly after the food comes out to see how first bites are, so it's really not a wasted trip. There are plenty of reasons to bitch about restaurant customers but not knowing ahead of time exactly how much ranch they're going to want is not really a very compelling one.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Most people know how much ranch they want and most restaurants give about the same... Unless you get one like OP and you get everything.

Most people know how much ranch they want

If that were true, we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's impossible to know how much condiment you need when you haven't seen the food portion size.

most restaurants give about the same

Experience has taught me otherwise. Most restaurants use the same-sized container for condiments, but you don't know if you're gonna get three ounces or half of one. Regardless, a table waiter complaining about waiting tables is not something that triggers my empathy.
