Taco Bell — Restaurant in Coeur d'Alene

I was driving Door Dash. This meant I was there several times until I decided to decline every Taco bell offer for the rest of my dash. This TB has sauce packets as 'frequently missed' Sometimes casually mentioned-Sometimes highlighted red with !! Sometimes, with text messages directly from customer No problems with that - I saw an opportunity to impress🤑

1st order : The customer sent a text immediately after I accepted the order " please bring x-tra diablo." DRIVE THRU KID ( refered to as: DTK going forward🤣) " it's in the bag" ME " I believe you- but the customer sent a text requesting more " DYK *rolls eyes and ssllllllllllllllowllly makes his way to the sauces gets a handful. Chats with a co-worker walks to another area for a bag, chats some 6 comes back to the window, opens it, and thrusts his hand out without looking or speaking to me

2nd and 3rd order ( 3rd one came in as I was waiting for the 2nd one) ME* arrive at window - with another frequently missed item alert- but no sauces listed. Sent text- response was" not this time thanks" ME " perfect😇" DTK * stands facing into kitchen , ignores me during all of that. Not even a head nod greeting. I know that he is able to see me in his peripheral.* ME "whatever. " with a eyeroll of my own. a new order comes in *I accept * This one puts it in the instructions " please make sure they put in fire and hot sauce." ME "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!🤌 DYK *pretends not to notice me. I wave. I wave harder. I wave with BOTH ARMS🤨 I half stand up out or my door- knock on the window. DTK with an obvious amount of reluctance come to the window. DTK " it's not ready yet" ME 🙃 big ol FAKE smile "that's fine I just got another order- wanted to let you know and I will need hot and fire with this one- would you believe i got ANOTHER direct text about sauce? Guess tonight has a saucy attitude " ( or something dad joke corny like that) DTK * deadpan face DTK " you'll have to pull around for it" ME * looks back expecting a line has formed behind me and i just didn't notice. nope, not the case. ME " hahahaaa....wait. SERIOUSLY?!!!" DTK " ...ya." OG order still not complete "K" I pull back around " welcome to Taco bell." " it's me the door dash drive from 15 seconds ago" "Name on order?" -- is this kid for REAL???? I relayed the name and pulled forward. I pull up still ignored, but not for long cause now both orders are complete- i watch him fold and seal the bags- but I didn't ACTUALLY SEE the sauces go in. ME: can you please give me a couple extra hot and fire sauce DTK " they are in the bag" ME " awesome i am not saying they aren't. I AM saying i want to make sure i have a couple extra sauces. " DTK " they ask for a certain number of sauces and they are in the bag" ME : I get what you are saying- but literally says: no matter how many are indicated in the order, never enough for everyone. I humored you with pulling around for the next order. But I am going to need sauces in my hand. DTK " we don't give out more than what we put in the bag. I am not trying to be rude but that's not how we do it." ME "ok than I want to place an order and I want hot and fire sauce * I smile look behind my car very pointedly, still.... no one. hint of another smiled at the DTK * would you like me to pull around AGAIN to place my order?" DTK * eyeball roll- sigh " no I can take it here." " Do you have nacho fries already cooked? If not i will switch them out with something." DTK : ya. We have some Me : awesome- I must be lucky. Takes maybe 20 seconds to throw these fries into a bag and out the window ME : "hey thanks and I would like extra and hot sauce and fire sauce PLEASE. " DTK. * hands them out - one type in each fist and turns his back to me I delivered the orders -tiny bit late. But gave customers a heads up. The one without the sauce sent an Xtra "be safe thanks!" Text The one with tipped $20 after the drop off (that earlier order, a " your awesome!!" Text and a bonus $2) not in the mood to see DYK again -I NOPED 5 orders in that last...

Went in on October 2nd at 12:30 on my lunch break. My order was exactly $34.00 so it was pretty expensive. Called them on my way back to talk to someone because I order 2 cheese quesadillas with extra cheese (Paid extra for this) and 2 chicken chipotle flatbreads and a few small misc. things and when I went through my bag at work I had 2 chicken cheese quesadillas and 1 chicken chipotle flatbreads. So both my quesadillas were wrong and I only got one of my flatbreads. I ended up talking to Brad and I asked him if he wanted to take my name and number and what was messed up and he said I didn’t need to worry about it and just come back next time and tell them what I ordered and that I talked to the manager Brad. Fast forward to today I went through the drive through and told them the story. He said “do you have a receipt?” I said no because it was a couple of weeks ago. And he said “you said you talked to Brad a couple of weeks ago” and I said yes. He said well I guess you can come in and we’ll try and figure it out. I said I really didn’t want to because I had all the kids in my car. He said well then I can’t help you. And I said seriously? And he said yep. And I said ok well then I’m going to report you and he said ok have a nice day. And I said who am I speaking with and he said Brad. I said the Brad that I talked to and he said yep. And I said you seriously can’t help me right now and he said nope have a nice day. And kept repeating it and was so rude. Made a report and everything but I just couldn’t believe that the manager I talked to said this stuff. (There was more to the story )but it was just the worst experience I’ve ever had...

It's taco bell what else can I say? If you want food that is relatively cheap and can order even at 3 am its your place, the food I swear no matter what you get they probably use only 6 total ingredients for the menu and somehow no matter how they mix and match they all lead to the same outcome, decent tasting and filling but then the repercussions of your decision hit soon after, the taste of all the sauces you dumped on your burrito lingering on your tastebuds just ruining everything you wanna taste after, the dish you decided to eat turning and weaponizing on yourself creating unimaginational discomfort as you regret the decision you knew would be coming, the stomach rumbles as if a demon inside your gut is screaming to be released, you run to your nearest restroom or any place for the matter that you can release this terrible hex you have put upon yourself, you rip down your garments and howl in anguish and despair as the foul creature comes flying out without any effort, if you try to stop it you can't, this is the trial you placed on yourself, every ounce of happiness this dish has brought you is replaced with distain for your actions in one second, the rumbles, the substance your body created with these ingredients, the spicyness of it all is like liquid napalm, then it dies down...you think its over then you wake up the next morning and realize you got very unlucky and got food poisoning. But its all worth it as you go in the very next day, never learning from your mistakes as you order the next beefy 5 layer. Overall good food and would recommend if you hate yourself and want...
