They said they were the best chips. They tasted like slightly spiced stale celery. Serves me right, I suppose.

I generally just eat sushi as an excuse to eat wasabi.

I find wasabi disgusting. I like spicy but it has a very unpleasant type of spice to me. The one time I went to Japan and got sushi the experience was entirely ruined for me because everything had wasabi spread under the fish or whatever on top of the rolls. Yeah I know you can order it without it but I didn't know it came on it by default.

the non-gimmick taco bell breakfasts are alright IMO. i like the grilled egg & potato burrito. also its not too big and it is only $1.00.

The breakfast crunchwraps have like 900 calories, lol.

E: also their coffee is decent and there's never a line at the drive thru

Are taco bell workers told to be weirdly peppy and talky at the drive through, or is it just something in my area? Every time I go through they're always "Hey, how are you doin' what's going on today how's your weekend blah blah blah" and I'm like "just give me my cheap rat rear end meat taco."

If you're an extrovert and are otherwise treated as a food dispenser, every minute in food service is going to be desperately reaching out hoping someone treats you as another human being.

Welp, sorry you feel that way, although it does seem an acquired taste. Mind you, I only even eat it when eating sushi, so there's that. (Also, same goes for the pickled ginger...)

Could be the person talking to you at the drive through menu is in a call center hundreds of miles away and has to maintain tone/friendliness/12 other metrics in order to keep their minimum wage job. Or they could just be high.

That's not seriously a job, is it? How does it save them any money to have drivethru orders taken at a callcenter instead of someone at the actual place on a headset? That's like a sit-down restaurant having a call center you can text your order to to replace a waiter. Surely that costs more to the company?

Most Wasabi you'll eat is really just pureed horseradish with green dye in it.

Real wasabi is in the horseradish family but does have a notably different and IMO more pleasant flavor. I've only had it once and I wish I could remember where it was served. Maybe it was Mr Sushi in Cincinnati.

I don't mind fake Wasabi but I would recommend trying the real stuff if you ever see it, even if you dislike the familiar version.

In the Cleveland metro area, all the Pizza Hut franchises are owned by the same private company, and for a couple decades operated a call center so there was just one number you ever needed to get Pizza Hut no matter what suburb you were in. They reorganized and dropped the call center at some point because apparently paying call center employees more than the actual restaurant staff was completely insane.

I worked there in high school and it was the most amazing part time job. Its like some sort of weird reverse telemarketing where people only ever call you when they already want something, and if they are calling to complain you just got to transfer them to dedicated customer service reps. If you paid too much attention you would occasionally get depressed by somebody in the ghetto trying to coupon hack the system for cheap pizza but most of the time you would just tune out and play gameboy or do school work because taking pizza orders takes like 0 mental capability.

The worst part is it took me about five years after I quit to stop having the impulse to answer phones "Thanks for choosing Pizza Hut, this is [my name]"

Around here they always ask how I am instead of demanding my order. I tell them and ask how they are and they usually sound genuinely happy that someone asked back and isn't treating them like dirt.

Ten years of retail taught me several lessons about how to treat people in retail/service.

The lady at my Taco Bell drive thru is named Kim and I wouldn't describe her as 'peppy' but we do remember each other and she remembers my normal order so maybe TB employees are more human than BK or McD's. Maybe TB sucks slightly less life out of 'em or something. Maybe it's just that they're not overwhelmed like the McDs drive thru people proably are.

Yeah, those are just ground meat patties. Most of them have a disturbingly sweet-tangy barbecue sauce taste and that's about it.

My local McDs drivethru is manned by either an earnest Hispanic lady or this middle-late-aged guy with a mustache who frequently tells me to "have a beautiful night".

I think anything on the franchise model is going to be as variable in its service as anything with a standardized menu can possibly be.

When I was a teenager, the McDonald's we usually went to had someone working the drive-thru that would pretend to be a robot. Like you would pull up, something that sounded like an automated message would take your order, and when you got to the window there would be a guy with a headset on laughing his rear end off about the whole thing. It was actually pretty cool and made late-night trips through the drive-thru way more entertaining, which was a priceless commodity when we were old enough to stay out all night but too young to drink.

Still not as funny as the time my friend ordered a salad there and got a container full of sliced lemons, though.
