Why they should not increase the minimum wage

[dgan]

So, I go to Taco Bell tonight. Working third shift, you know, we get a little hungry around here. Around midnight, with 7 hours yet to go on your shift, even that crap passes for food. I know...disgusting...anyway...

So I hit the drive thru. Get some tacos, burritos and something a coworker wanted that I couldn't pronounce. For once, they got the order right. They even gave me the right sauce. And as a bonus, they gave me something else...




THE KEYS TO THE RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After getting back to work, I reach in the bag and there are keys in there. I check my pocket...sure enough, my keys are there. Therefore, the keys in the bag cannot possibly be mine. Confused, I pull them out - I note the key chain with the word "Princess" in bold letters.

Now I can't drive all the way back there. Granted, I do more slacking than working, but another drive downtown is probably pushing it. So I find the number for that store on the internet. No answer.

I call the cops (non-emergency line) to see what they suggest. They laugh at me. So I try the Taco Bell again.

"Hello."
"Uh...hi...is this Taco Bell?"
"Yup."
"Ok, well, I went to your drive thru awhile ago and found keys in with my food."
"Keys?"
"Yes. Are you guys missing some keys?"
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! Hang on, I'm going to have you talk to the person in charge."

*muffled voices*

"Hey. A customer has your keys."
"What?"
"They were in his food."

*muffled unintelligible screaming*

*very loud crashing sounds*

"Hey, are you still there?"
"Yes, I am."
"Oh man, sorry, I dropped the phone. Hang on."

*muffled voices again*

"He's on the phone right now."
"Let me talk to him."

*back to me again*

"Hello?"
"Hello. Are you missing some keys?"
"I WAS LOOKING ALL OVER FOR THOSE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT!"
"Well, I'm at work. I can't drive them back. Are they your house keys?"
"No, those are the keys to the store."
"Uh...ok. Can you come pick them up?"
"No. The rules are if we leave the store we can't get back in."
"Even to retrieve the keys to the store?"
"Where are you? I can pick them up on my way home."

I then proceeded to give directions to my building. Then I ate my food...which was...well, it was Taco Bell.

This is absolutely a true story. Happened to me tonight. Can you believe it?

I love Taco Bell!

At my grocery store, there's a single key to lock the tills up or get change, and it is carried by the shift leader. One night the shift leader stuck the key in her locker, went home, and refused to answer the phone when the store called because she didn't want to be pressured to come back in to work, however many people short they might be.

hmm. . .that's even a better reason than the whole price of everything increase three fold. . .I'll be sure to bring this to any government official's attention

[twyrch]

Dgan, that's possibly the best Taco Bell story I have ever heard in my life!!!

I can't stop laughing about it. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daae]

What would have been priceless is if the person had said, "I can't believe I did that again!" Although I've done something similar, so I guess I really shouldn't be laughing.

[dreamer]

How funny!! People really don't know how to use common sense, do they?

[Hinata]

Common sense isn't as common as it's made out to be

Well, if we combine our ages, we could probably apply for early Social Security.

[Hinata]

Dred, sir, and Jer, sir, I hate to break it to you. . .but you need a combined social security number for that early retirement
