Make that a cool $36 bucks and have it delivered for ultimate degeneracy.

Leave it on the step and walk away, so you dont have to see me creep out of my house in goblin mode and snack up to bag, breathing heavily, tearing at the packaging before ive even made it back inside.

The whole gig-economy, random motherfuckers delivering your food situation is just impossible for me to get down with. I already worry about the rando who made the food spitting in it, throwing his dingleberries in there, etc.

If I get it delivered by some weirdo, too, am I just supposed to hope that maybe his fecal bacteria will get into a fight with the cook's fecal bacteria, and they'll wipe each other out, by the time I eat it?

My department was outsourced this year. So, I have been working as one of those weirdos while I seek new employment. Most businesses seal the food so the driver can’t touch it without it being VERY obvious. (Like a ripped sticker seal) Just know that not everyone delivering is some creep who wants to put poop in your food. I personally don’t even put orders into the cabin of my car. It goes into the trunk inside a sealable cooler that I provide/clean between shifts.

You really do sound like the guy I'd want delivering my stuff. I think part of my apprehension comes from the way I've seen even medical personnel going about their jobs with a VERY half-assed attitude, toward things like sterility.

Also, I am chronically and genetically cheap-assed. Food is expensive enough (as per OP's meme) that I often go entire calendar years without eating any sort of restaurant food. Getting me to pay for delivery + tip would just be incredibly difficult, from the outset.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

seriously. who wants to spend more money, putting more time and more people handling in between their meal being made and being eaten? Shit, I don't think I've ever ordered pizza delivery in my entire life. Even the pandemic couldn't get my cheap ass to get food delivered

One thing I will say is aseptic practices are "less" important in a hospital, compared to a facility that's producing intravenous therapies.

There's less inherent risk from subpar aseptic practices in a hospital because in most cases your immune system is a good barrier to that.

Your body has much less protections against a liquid that's getting pumped straight into you. Luckily a huge portion of that is terminally sterilized and run through huge filter lines.

Why would you look at people in the medical field and go "yep, that's why I don't have food delivered"? Lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because medical people are SUPPOSEDLY held to an even higher standard. If they suck at being clean, despite standing to lose a truly valuable career, how can I trust underpaid delivery people?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The difference is a medical professional likely has more money to get by with as they make a career change, an underpaid delivery driver loses their job, they can be out on the streets with no shelter, food, or clean water in just a few weeks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And yet, by all accounts, their standards of behavior are SHOCKINGLY SIMILAR. We've all seen videos of delivery drivers eating food out of the bags. And I've had to stop a medical professional from giving me an injection, without sterilizing the injection site on my skin.

People are not okay. I don't trust any of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

In god we trust. Everyone else can eat a big bag of dicks.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Yeah like holy shit.. Used to be a dollar for their burritos.. Now you're lucky if it is $2, and portions haven't improved to reflect the price.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I rarely go there anymore since my usual order went from $10 to $18. Their deal boxes are still good tho, they're still only around $5 here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

$7 here.. NO THANKS

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I used to work there. All the meat comes in frozen plastic bags. You heat them up in a hot water bath before putting it on the hot line.

For the prices these days it really doesn't make sense unless there's a specific item you like from Taco Bell.

I'd rather go to chipotle where they actually put their meats on a grill and prepare everything. I'm not saying it's not a fast food chain, but I've noticed their ingredients are less processed and more fresh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

All major fast food chains are trash now. Same garbage food, 5x the price. I live in an area abundant in taquerias, and I can get way better food for the same price. Taco Bell can fuck right off unless it's 1am and nothing else is open, and I need to eat something to sober up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty sure. "It's 1am. Nothing else is open, and you need to sober up." is Taco Bell's default marketing campaign.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Agreed I only go if they have good deals on the apps fuck ordering at the retail prices they charge.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I refuse to download their app. The McDonald's one made u sign a binding arbitration clause to use it. Eff that noise.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

At least it's not UK Taco Bell prices.
I think TB thought they'd be a neat novelty, and have people queuing out the door. So they priced tacos at £5+.
The result was, lots of people went there...once. They parted with £15/head, and got bland tacos.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I think that may have happened in other countries
