My wife, for some ungodly reason, wanted Taco Bell the other night around 10 pm. Off I went.

This Taco Bell always has, from about 8 pm to midnight, a line of cars out to the street, that moves very slowly. That night was no exception.

From the time i pulled into the line, to the time I left the drive thru window with my order... 27 minutes.

When I was waiting at the window, it appeared the store had two employees working. Both were cursing each other out. I don't know the inner workings of the Taco Bell operations manual, but I would assume it calls for more than two employees.

Given the line of cars every night that I see... I have to assume what I observed was a nightly occurance.

Yet... every night... line of cars.

So Taco Bell might be willing to throw another dollar an hour at a potential third worker / fourth worker. But what incentive do they have to take major steps to fix the problem?

Clearly, their customer base has decided to continue going there, despite these "issues".
