Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

    Years ago when I worked at Taco Bell someone got fired because the manager walked in on him snorting coke off the bags of strawberry they used to put on top of the fruitista freezes in the walk-in.

    Also some asshole pulled a gun in drive thru during my shift because he ordered extra cheese on his 7 layer nachos and apparently did not get adequate cheese.

      I can relate with the second one. No matter what taco bell I order at asking for extra anything is like pressing the ‘close doors’ button on an elevator in the US, it’s pointless.

      Pulling a gun on someone for that is unhinged, but feeling irked or disappointed is understandable. I just order from the app now and buy the sauce bottles at the grocery store, and order a nacho cheese cup separately if I want extra.

        Except for sauce packets. I don’t ask for extra & I get an imperial standard fuckton of sauce packets every time. I think if I asked for extra they’d take it as a challenge and just fill a separate bag.

          God, opposite here. I want lots of Diablo sauce, they give us three. We ask for tons, we get four.

        From a recent trip. They weren’t even extra ones I ordered, they were just supposed to come with the order. IDK if they’re taken out of the employee’s paychecks or what because damn.

      A guy at a place I worked at got fired for smoking weed in the bathroom. I overheard him getting fired. This was a small business, (but “under 100 employees” small, not 3 people small) so the owner fired him personally. He said something like, “I don’t care if you smoke weed. I don’t even care if you smoke weed in your car on your lunch break if you do your job. But you really smoked weed in the bathroom?”
