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.

I went to Taco Bell for the first time in like 15 years and two chalupas cost more than a full sit-down meal at a real Mexican restaurant. Guess that's the last time I go.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fast food creates environmental waste.

Those packets are nothing compared to the rest.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days 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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 24 points 2 days ago

guy acts like tb employees are making 6 figures XD

[–] PaulBunyan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days 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 9 points 1 day 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 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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 2 days 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 2 days 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."

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That is too legit to quit!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

What does this mean? You somewhere that cleans and reuses bottles?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

I have the same jars.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That be a good law.

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.

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 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

No money, mo sauce!

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 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.

Edit: I get it I’m a fucking monster for hating serving people after being forced to at a job I took on to work in the kitchen.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 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.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you come into the same restaurant multiple times per week and every fucking time you order extra ranch, maybe learn to order it along with the food your already ordering.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

If you serve the same person enough to know they always order extra ranch, bring extra ranch the first fucking time. If they ask for it, give it to them, if not, give it to the next one. As long as you didn't put it on the table, it's fine.

All these hypothetical customers seem to be gladly paying for the extra sauce, idk what all the bitching is about. Servers live on tips, tips are frequently determined as a percentage of the bill, bigger bill, bigger tip. This is literally you as a server making more money, just get the damn ranch jesus christ

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day 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.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do not miss serving people

With this attitude, I can't imagine the people miss being waited on by you, either.
