What the Hell at Taco Bell

Posted by on Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 7:42 AM

My office gets takeout fast food most days at lunch. I usually opt out, but I took a turn and everyone voted for Taco Bell.

I only eat at Taco Bell, like, every five years, so when I go, I have to retrace the logic steps. I know I don't like all-white-meat chicken. Ground beef scares me. That leaves beans. Each quinquennial visit results in the same conclusion: bean-and-cheese burrito.

My co-workers, on the other hand, possess detailed knowledge of every fast food menu in town, including Taco Bell. As they told me what to pick up for them, one person ordered a Crunchwrap Supreme. This prompted me to ask, "Beef or chicken?" which is apparently an uninformed question. It was Nachos Bellgrande for another. A third ordered a fresco-something chicken, which he'd never ordered previously, but thought he'd like, based on TV ads. The Taco Bell order-taker knew what I was trying to ask for, thank goodness.

I got all the orders right, which was a big relief and the basis for my future strategy, which is to stick with Taco Bell when it's my turn to bring back lunch for the office.
