Jokers Return Taco Sauce to Restaurant

Aug 10, 6:31 PM (ET)

MARION, Ind. (AP) - Ten to 15 people wearing masks left six 40-gallon trash bags full of taco sauce packets at a Taco Bell restaurant in what police described as a prank.

A note attached to the bags said the group had been accumulating them for the past three years, storing them in the trunk of a car, authorities said.

Police have suspended their investigation into the Tuesday night prank in the city about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis without any arrests, said Marion Deputy Police Chief Cliff Sessoms.

"From everything we've got here, there doesn't appear that there has been any crime committed," he said. "It looks more like a prank than it does anything else, but not a very funny one because you've got that number of people coming in there with their faces covered up."

A spokesman for Taco Bell said he's never heard of people returning so many unused packets of sauce.

"I've heard a lot of people accumulate sauce packets in their glove compartments. We know people keep things and it's a pretty common phenomenon, but to have that many, I've never heard of that," said spokesman Rob Poetsch.

He said the packets would not be used, for safety reasons.

I used to have a problem with my local Taco Bell nearly every time I went through their drive through. The management was beyond poor, the employees were beyond lazy, and the little "store manager" was the worst jerk of a woman you'd ever meet. She enjoyed telling people she was out if lemons, out of sauce, out of whatever.

After several incidents that nearly pushed me over the edge with idiot employees, I got the "store manager" one day in the drive through. I had ordered the Nachos Supreme...... :D Those take several packs of sauce....

She handed the nachos out the window to me, with one pack of mild sauce in the bag. I said "I need some more sauce, please". She gave me a sour look and handed me two more packs of sauce. I said "Ma'am, nachos take more than 3 packs of sauce. I would like some more sauce, please."

She stared at me and said "You can't have any more sauce." I said "I beg your pardon?" She said (and I quote) "You got all the sauce you're gonna get."

:D That's *not* the way to win friends and influence people..... particularly me..... :D

I got so mad that I burned rubber all the way out of the drive through, slammed my car into a parking spot, went in the front door yelling "GET THAT WOMAN OUT HERE NOW!".... :D I could see her ducking under the appliances on her way out the back door of the building.... I walked up to the counter and said "Give me a plastic bag." When they gave me the plastic bag, I walked over to the condiment station, filled to overflowing with sauce, both hot and mild, straws, plastic forks, etc. I announced to everyone in the restaurant (many of them knew me, anyway..) "I was given 3 packs of sauce in the drive through, and told by the manager of this **** hole that I had "got all the sauce I was gonna get". I'm about to get my sauce now, and I intend to come into this **** hole once a day for the next week and get more sauce."

Then, I proceeded to load every single thing on the condiment table into my sack and leave. Every day for the next week, I stopped in (I reused my original bag because I figured they wouldn't give me another one, knowing what I was there for) and took everything off the condiment table and put it in my sack.

Oh, yes. I got in contact with the regional sales manager for the franchise a few days later, and arranged to meet him at the restaurant to show him a few things - like the way the employees would stack bags of trash on both sides of the front door steps and then sit on the steps and smoke, and then leave the bags of trash sitting there for half a day or more. Like windows so dirty you could grow beans in the dirt on them. We had an interesting meeting - the next day he brought in a team of trained employees from other locations, fired every single person working there, and started over. Within 2 days of that the place shined like a new penny. He told me the manager woman was in their national database as a "do not hire" - meaning that if she applies for a job with a Taco Bell anywhere in the US, her name will pop up as banned from employment.

The food tastes better now, too.....

Now THAT is a story!

That's probably because they're not flicking boogers in your Burrito Supreme any more. :lol:

How many sauces are you getting at the Arby's next door these days?

Just kidding, because although I don't brag about it on online forums I've done similar things.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D
