2020 through 2021 taco bell employees were something special.  i tried ordering by the numbers once and the guy got it all wrong, and i was like nah man the 6 is supposed to be two chalupas, and he was like oh yeah my bad. he literally just had to hit the number 6 button, they put it in numbers to make everything simple then he couldnt figure out how to remove it, and he called for help, and the two of them couldnt figure out how to remove the wrong item or void it, so they had to open a new register and start over. the store were also closed all the time because they couldnt even hold on to workers, it seemed pretty bad. i remember seeing on tv/news that they were going all in on automations, like french fry machines where you fill up 10 fryer baskets, and then put all 10 baskets onto a belt, and then the 60iq fry cook would just push a button and not have to do anything else. they literally had to spend millions of dollars to develop a special machine that let a manager pre-load the fryer once an hour because their h1-b mexicans couldnt handle making french fries even though the usa has 7-8 decades of experience in making french fries and 1 / 4 americans have previously worked in fast food
