Memo to Taco Bell
Yes, I know, everything tastes like chicken. That said, not everything sounds like “chicken,” and “steak quesadilla” sure as hell doesn’t. Nor, I might add, is “diet” a code word for “wild cherry.” And “hot sauce” is not a quaint way of saying “I’d like one measly packet of hot sauce, along with five packets of that mild, watery crap meant for Gringos.”
Thatisall.

Sorry about the chicken and cherry, but I have absolutely no sympathy for your hot-sauce problem, which is clearly due to your lack of knowledge or application of the well-established Taco Bell drive-thru rules.
In the first place, every experienced Taco-Beller knows that hot source orders are often filled by the guy in the window blindly grabing a random handfull so you have to verify the hot sauce order in your bag before you drive off. If you didn’t know the rules, you should have asked.
In the second place you have to specify “hot”, “medium”, or “mild” hot sauce. Yes, that’s right, you have to ask for “hot hot sauce”. In the third place, the mild hot sauce is actually the one with the best flavor, even if it doesn’t have any zing, so you weren’t as bad off as you could have been.
You want something to complain about, try driving through a Jack-in-the-Box, ordering a Jumbo Jack and ending up with a fish sandwich. Now that’s pain.

Fair enough, but in this case the lady at the drive through window asked me whether I wanted hot or mild, and I said “hot.”

Apropos of nothing in particular:
Several years ago, during the short-lived controversy over the “racist” Taco Bell Chihuahua commercials, a Hispanic co-worker told me that the activists were missing the point.
“The commercials aren’t racist at all,” Lupe said. “The racist thing about Taco Bell is that nasty-a$$ed $#!t they’re trying to pass off as Mexican food. I ought to know; I have authentic Mexican almost every night…”
I’ve had difficulty eating anything by Taco Bell ever since; to me, it’s all “mild watery crap meant for Gringos.”
Or at least those of us Gringos who don’t have a lick of taste…

You eat at Taco Bell? What, did you get thrown out of all the Buenos?
