like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

    Because you won’t do anything to hurt their bottom line, basically.

    Stop eating at Taco Bell and make your own damn tacos at home. Better yet, go buy some from a family-owned taco truck instead.

      Yeah, I don’t eat at Taco Bell when I’m in the mood for tacos from a street truck. It’s like two entirely different types of food.

      There is Mexican food, there’s Tex Mex, then there is Taco Bell. They’re not really all comparable 1:1:1. I love me an al pastor taco from a truck, but some days I’m not in the mood for a real taco but rather the ersatz tacos they have at Taco Bell.

        See my stoned Canadian ass doesnt have any taco trucks nearby, but the bell is always there

        (but I gotta agree its far from authentic, its like a good smoked burger vs bigmac)

          That’s a shame. I live in an area where I have access to authentic food of so many different ethnicities, and it is wonderful.

          I can’t imagine how boring life would be without multiculturalism.

      Taco trucks are so good right now. They’re not wasting money on unused dining room space so lots of meat!

      This individualist approach simply does not work in practice as has been demonstrated time and again. The problem is a systemic one created by the mechanics and incentives of the capitalist economy. The solution is to work towards an economic system that doesn’t create perverse incentives inherent in capitalism.
