I'm off work today, thank GOD! It's 105F with a heat index of 115F which means:
1) Everyone will want to get Taco Bell instead of cooking
2) The kitchen at TB will be hotter than hell
3) All the employees will be irritable and cranky
4) No one will want to come into work
Short Handed+Busy=Taco Bell-> Taco HELL
I'm glad I'm off
Anyway, with me being stuck inside and all, here's some stories I haven't posted yet.
SC With Half a Brian
A woman walked into Taco Bell with her 6 or so year old daughter. The woman was heavily obese and required the use of those arm crutches to walk. Even then, she was huffing and wheezing after such a short walk. I do not hate anyone because of their weight, color, race, gender, etc, so I was just as nice to her as I would be to any other customer. She, on the other hand, was a bitch to me. She had a gigantic order that came to (I think) $50 for 37-ish items. It was enormous. When I read back the order and told her the total, she snapped, "Don't you DARE ask if this is all for me"!!! I was a tad shocked at her comment because I would not, nor have I ever, made a comment like that. Actually, most of the heavier people that come to my work order 5 or so things, so I never even considered that one woman could eat 37-ish items. I imagined maybe 6 or so were for her and, even then, I wouldn't have said anything.
Anyway, the cooks bring up her order which was in 3 large sized bags. She skims through the bags and then yells for me to get over there. I do, asking what she needed.
Me: Did you need something?
SC: Yes! I want sour cream!
Me: You want sides of sour cream?
SC: Yes!
Me: How many did you want?
SC: ......*thumbs through her bags*.....12 should be good. Give me 12.
Me: Ok.
I walk over to my register and start to ring her up for the 12 sides of sour cream because, well, it's not free (duh). She has a cow.
SC: And WHAT do you think you're doing?!!!
Me: I'm ringing up the sour cream.
SC: I have to PAAAYYY for it??!!!!!
Me: Yes. I'm sorry, I thought you knew that.
SC: How much?
Me: It's 30 cents per side.
SC: Whhaaatttttt???!!!! That's rediculooouuusssss!!!!!
Me: I'm sorry, but that's the price.
SC: Give them to meeeeeeee!!! Nnooowwwwwwww!!!!!!
Me: Absolutly not. If I gave away that much sour cream, I would get in trouble.
SC: So if I was a skinny twig person I could get free food, but a fat cow like me has to pay??!!! That's discrimination!
Me: Mam, I never said that. I'm saying I can't give away sour cream just because you don't want to pay.
SC: *cue catbuttface* C'mon (kid's name that sounded like Sugar) let's just buy our OWN sour cream so the evil woman can't rip us off!
Cue her...umm....limping away.....angrily.....
So, she pulled the dicrimination card, threw a huge fit, caused a scene, and verbally attacked me over...($.30 x 12 =) $3.60. Was it REALLY worth all that?
I Demand a Refund!
One evening, a car full of teenage kids came thru and ordered a couple of $.99 things and an order of breadsticks. They paid, but then:
Kid: Do you guys carry ranch?
Me: Yes we do. (we were the only Taco Bell in the area that still carried ranch for the chicken ranch salad)
Kid: Can I have some?
Me: If you pay for it, sure.
Kid: How much?
Me: $.29.
Kid: Ok. *digs through his car; frinds pitch in to help* Do you take CJ Barrymore tokens? huhuhuhuh!
Me: No. Only American money.
Kid: But you can go to CJ Barrymore and useee it!
Me: I don't go to CJ Barrymore ever and Taco Bell wouldn't like getting paid in amusement park tokens. Money only.
Kid: Okaayyyyyyy. *hands me a quarter and a nickle*
Me: Thank you. *gives him a penny and a packet of ranch* Have a nice day.
Kid: Wait! This isn't ranch!
Me: ?
Kid: This is ZESTY ranch!
Me: Zesty ranch is still ranch. Ranch is in the name even.
Kid: I don't want zesty ranch! I want breadstick ranch!
Me: What in God's name is breadstick ranch?
Kid: It's ranch for breadsticks! ALLL the stores have it!
Me: Really? Because I've never thought to dip parmasan coated bread in ranch dressing.
Kid: I want a refund!
Me: You want a refund....for $.29.
Kid: Yes!
Me: It's $.29.
Kid: It's MY $.29 and I want it back!
Me: Hey M! I need you to do a refund for $.29 because we don't have REAL ranch!
M: Look kid. It's ranch. It tastes like ranch because it IS ranch. I will not refund $.29. If you want $.29, feel free to scour the parking lot. I guarantee you will find more than $.29. Have a nice day.
You mean I have to PAY?
Each salad once came with its own type of dressing. Salsa for the beef salad, ranch for the chicken, and chipolte dressing for the steak. We were the last Taco Bell in the area to get rid of the ranch and chipolte. It got discontinued due to lack of sales. When we had the dressings still, a lady ordered a beef fiesta salad. After she paid and get her salad:
SC: I want low fat italian dressing.
Me: ......We don't carry low fat italian.
SC: What?!! You sell salads! That is unacceptable!!!
Me: Each salad comes with it's own dressing (insert above explination)
SC: Give me ranch.
Me: Did you want ranch instead of the salsa?
SC: I want ranch.
Me: Ok, you can either give me back the salsa and I will give you ranch instead, or I can ring you up for the ranch so you can have both.
SC: I'm keeping the salsa!
Me: Ok, so you want to pay for the ranch?
SC: I have to PAAYYYYY!!!!
Me: Yes, but don't worry! It's only $.29
SC: *launches into a full scale rant on how she shouldn't have to pay, f-bomb this and that, Wendy's doesn't charge for dressing, we should be more like Wendy's, blah blah blah*
Me: So....did you want the ranch?
SC: Well OOOOBVIOOOUUSLLLYYYYYY!!!!!111!!! I CAN'T eat my salad without iiittttttt!!!!!111!!!!
She pays, gets her ranch, and speeds off after calling me a...wait for it...."f*cking dressing bitch Nazi". That has stuck with me
I'm a dressing bitch Nazi!!! 
DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!

I actually tried Little Ceasers ranch dip ans I almost barfed it was so gross. I'm not a ranch and breadstick person I guess
face and then was like..."No I have friends in the car waiting." It was kind of surprising at the least.
Do you sell energy drinks? Because I haven't slept for days and neither have these guys and it's a contest as to who falls asleep first to be tortured. Really.
