Chaos Breaks Out At TACO BELL After They Run Out Of Crunch Wrap Supremes

There are many reasons
that fights break out at fast-food restaurants. The vast majority of those reasons are indefensible. Getting upset at a Taco Bell when they run out of Crunch Wrap Supremes might be one of the few exceptions.
If not fully defen- sible, it’s at the
very least more understandable. It’s late at night, you’ve probably had a few drinks, and all you want is to do some damage on a few Crunch Wrap Supremes. It’s a tale as old as time. The only thing that ruins the mood is hear- ing that they’re out of Supremes.
One such
fight went down recently at a Taco Bell when several
customers took their frustrations out on an employ- ee. The argument between two female customers and a male employee over the fact that the restaurant was out of Crunch Wrap Supremes ended in pure chaos.
Not chairs flying chaos, more of the slap-fighting variety. The heat- ed exchange got too intense for the
customers and things turned physical. One of the customers ended up pushing the overly dramat- ic employee.
The employee responded like a gentleman and walked away. Obviously, that’s not how things played out. Instead of walking away, the employ- ee shoved both of the female cus- tomers away from him.
A hero, with absolutely no fighting ability whatsoever, stepped in. He immediately takes a few punches to the face from the employee on behalf of the women.
Fight over, threat neutralized, and everyone goes about their busi- ness at this point, right? Wrong. The male customer and employee exchange a few words then square off to do that sad pawing slap thing that people who can’t fight at all do.
The employee manages to work in a swipe at one of the female cus- tomers before the fight ends and the argument over who is going to call the cops on who begins.
This didn’t have to go down at all. There’s a simple solution that
would have saved everyone time and energy. It needs to be deployed from the top down at Taco Bell.
If you’re out of Crunch Wrap Supremes at night, lock the doors and call it a night. This goes for a couple of other menu items as well.
It’s not worth it. If Taco Bell respects its cus- tomers and employees then they’ll implement this ASAP. As for the employee involved here, he has to be fired. Not for the fight itself, but for the fact that he was- n’t capable of assessing the sit- uation.
The customer was right here. Their complaints are valid and he should have sim- ply walked away.
