Well, ding dong. If we had a Taco Bell, I'd boycott it.  :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well,I guess if you are bored or depressed,and need a few good laughs,the parking lot of Taco Bell might be an amusing place to park for a while and watch the animals pass in review.

Haven't been able to handle Taco Hell for a lot of years so I can't say this will stop me from going to somewhere I don't go anyway. I wonder what brilliant exec looked at this concept and thought hell yes this will increase our share of families with children?

Yeah... JCPennys all over again. How a catalog company could so drop the ball, pissing off their bread, butter, meat, and potatoes - Blue Collar Moms - is entirely beyond me... But then, they all line up to do just that.  :shrug:

I can't believe it. What can be going through the heads of the TB execs? Yes, average, sane Americans who regularly frequent our restaurants will be thrilled to take their children to a drag queen event.
Whenever I think the wokerati can't come up with anything stupider than their past stupid woke event, they prove me wrong.
Goodbye Taco Bell. I got their tacos and whatever once a month. No more.  9999hair out0000

I think that's what happens when you gain entrance to the corporate world through HR for being woke and think the whole world believes in that crap.

There has been a lot of that lately, K-Mart, Penney's, Coke, .... all people who should have at least taken a few minutes and figured out how this stuff just might alienate a lot more market than it brings in.

The last time I remember Taco Bell, was back in the late '70's while in college sustaing on weekends with their 4 for a $ Tacos.  They sucked then, but at least I didn't go hungry.

I haven't darkened the door of a Taco Bell since a delivery guy I know saw someone at Taco Bell sitting in a chair grating cheese using his shoed foot.  Of course this was 30 years ago...but still.....

A couple of yeas ago the Taco bell in town opened at 7:00 am. My first block class would all kick in a couple of bucks and one ofht ekids stopped in on his way to school. We did Taco Tuesday almost every week that semester. Never again.

Yeah. I get it... Rarefied air influenced by trendy crap... Still you would think their bean counters and sales departments would set them straight - It is one weird-ass phenomena working its way through corporate America... And I readily admit: I don't get it.  :shrug: **nononono*

@roamer_1

What the bean counters think or say is irrelevant to owners already so wealthy it would be impossible for them to spend all their money. They would have to just throw it away.

What IS important to them is social standing,and being accepted by the "important people". And who is more important than our political leaders? THEY are the ones that make the laws and make sure they are,or are not,enforced.

They are,for all practical purpose,rulers in 21st Century America.

Owners and stockholders are incidental. Even CEOs ought to be. COOs have the hammer, as a general rule - And they listen to beancounters and sales. If they ain't making money, it will be the COOs head on the block first.

Not always the case. I know for a fact that heirs of the Kellogg cereal company still own and manage it. I saw one of them on the old Donahue  tv talk show once,and I have never ran into such a clueless person in real life. She had no freaking idea how much anything cost or how much the typical workers get paid,and I have never even met such a clueless fool in real life. She might as well have been Marx.

btw,CEO's and COO's are nothing more that employees that own stock. They can be removed. It is the families that actually own the company/corporation that I am talking about.

... Because she has a COO jamming the deal. What makes it go... What makes it worth a butt-load of money is in the direct hands. A CEO worth his salt will want an adversarial COO... Because for him (CEO) to make his bones, the ship has to fly right and make money FIRST.

THEN all the pseudo-politics can be applied and be effective... Without killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Anything else is stupid - in a word, counterproductive. And every company needs to be productive.

You SERIOUSLY think she gives a Biden? Nobody in her family has worked for over 50 years. The Kellogg family STILL owns the company. That woman has no freaking idea who much anything costs and at one time she even said said something very close to "The typical new car of today costs over 10 thousand dollars....",and that was back when you could buy a new Impala for 3 grand.

I repeat,these people have so much money they don't understand what anything costs,and don't care. They have more than they can spend,and they need very little because they own no money and have millions coming in each year.

They are not the "merely rich". They can afford to hire the merely rich to cut their lawns.

Haven't eaten Taco Bell in I don't know how long.  I think whoever owns them owns KFC and Pizza Hut, too.
