I love watching fatass NEET manchildren scramble whenever their mommybux are threatened. Fuck yourself, OP.

>>13496133
Holy based

>>13495990
you must be in LA, Chicago, or NYC. everywhere else in the civilized world, the value menu items are still $1.00

>>13495990
>They just lost me as a customer.
No they didn't. Shut the fuck up, fat ass.

Last time I went to Taco Bell I paid over $15 for a bunch of burritos and tacos and when I got home and opened the bag there was a single container of nachos. First time I ever got fucked so hard on an order I swore off the company forever. I'm actually autistic so it took forever for me to build up the courage to use the drive-thru.

>>13495990
At least you didn’t lose your job at the drive-up window.

>>13495990
NO ONE CARES FUCK
How poor are you faggots that for months, MONTHS , there's been constant threads with phoneposting retards complaining that goddamn Taco Bell priced them out? Grow up, get a fucking job, get the fuck off of my board

>>13495990
I just went there last night and the dollar menu is exactly the same. Only thing they changed was the name.

>>13496382
>Grow up, get a fucking job, get the fuck off of my board
If I didn't have a job do you think I would be complaining? I work so it's not free. I don't think you understand. They changed my go-to item from $1.00 to $1.20. I usually get 3 of them so that's now $3.58 instead of $3.27. I eat there quite often because the food is only $1. Now I have to spend more of my hard earned money. I'll go eat where the prices are as advertised.

It's not just me, they're doing this to everyone that eats there. With the added up money they're making millions more than they were last month. It's not fair. They aren't paying their workers more money for it, they're just being greedy assholes.

I'm not even poor. I would rather spend $10 on a cheeseburger that's worth $10 than spend extra money on a burrito because some corporate fuck didn't think he was rich enough already.

>>13496430

this is what happens when democrats get the minimum wage raised. every1 gets fucked and your money is no longer worth what it use to be because everything in the distrobution chain has to get a wage increase as well.

The only thing worth eating from taco bell is a crunch wrap supreme

You'll be back. They always come back.

>>13496133
isn't it kind of nuts what happens when you deregulate and trust capitalism?
businesses hire, workers become more scarce, wages rise and now even literal retards can get good jobs

it's almost undoing the damage of women deciding to have careers instead of being home makers.....almost

I like to get potato tacos and add beef. Easy on that chipotle sauce.

You're the same type of faggot that praises CFA as a bastion of customer service because employees are paid a minimum of $15/hour, yet scream about paying people $15/hour. The hypocrisy of the right is astounding.

>>13495990
how dare they

>>13496850
the right can appreciate when companies pay good wages to employees
the left wants to make it compulsory that everyone company pays every employee a minimum of $15 for any job no matter what it is whether or not it's actually worth that much in value to the company, and whether or not the company can actually afford to do it

the choice is what matters

>removed grilled stuffed burrito

BRING IT BACK NOW.

>>13496941
Yeah I was going to head there after my surgery because I was on a liquid diet and craving everything.

Then I realized they didn't have food anymore.

>>13496934
Perhaps if a company cannot pay their employees enough so that they may stay alive, the company has not performed well enough to justify its existence?

>>13496934
>warming up frozen chicken at CFA is different from warming up frozen beef burgers from Burger King
Now you're in trouble because you bitch about BK service where employees are paid $7.50/hour (the federal minimum wage) which you can't even live on in retarded southern red states. So if you ever argue for good service at fast food shitholes w/o supporting minimum wage you are a hypocrite, which category your ilk happily accept.

>>13496993
>the company
It's more complicated than that. Individual locations aren't paying people enough, or are cutting their hours short enough that even people who could do a better job working there simply won't. Corporations like Subway put their locations out of business due to their greedy policies too.

>>13497009

>They just lost me as a customer.
So 1 fewer customer out of 6 billion customers served annually. I'm sure that 0.000000017% hit to their revenue is really going to hurt.

>>13496993
my first job was leveling shelves in a grocery store
that's it, I just walked up and down the aisles and moved things to the front

it's a job that has to be done, but also a job that isn't worth $15 an hour
so if you're insisting on $15 an hour then that job will obviously be the first to get eliminated

what happens next? well the cashiers will need to pick up the extra work load, so they will have to step away from the cash register to level shelves during the day
so now you have longer lines building up, less happy customers, some of them will probably stop shopping with you
your cashiers have a higher work load so employee moral goes down since they are rushing around all day between the register and the shelves, and you can't hire more of them because the wages are too high
so of course this means more people are out of work as a result since your business isn't hiring

congratulations on killing a small business and creating an environment where only walmart can survive. I hope you're proud of yourself

or how about this. Pay some kids $7 an hour to level the shelves

>>13497031
>Literally heard this shit over a hundred times
and somehow you don't have an answer for it, gee whiz!

>>13497101
well because that 6 billion are repeats its probably a lot mpre than 1 maybe he goes 10 times a year or whatever, now imagine if just handful more people made that choice. gotta remember a store is built on its loyal customers not 1 time tourists.

>>13497140
You can make that job worth fifteen dollars an hour. If you have someone who is hired just to level shelves then you've fucked up in general, unless those individuals are like subsidized by the government due to disability or mental infirmity.

Why would you have a "leveler" when you can just get your stockers to do it? Add another stocker to your shift instead, they happen to being going through the aisles anyways. If you have to add another stocker to replace two levelers thats fine. No one puts in even a modicum of effort in makework positions like those anyways, so giving it to someone who's actually getting paid enough to care will only improve things.

>>13497140
This is exactly why stupid people shouldn't be in charge of fixing things. Holy fuck you're dumb.

>>13497184
90% of people are adults with real money who don't have a hissy fit because the menu prices increased by 1%.

Taco Bell has been expensive for awhile I've noticed
Honestly only go if they have a $5 box that has something good for once

>>13497371
>$5 box
>$6.19

>>13496010
You pay that much? Christ.


>>13496133
I'll pay three times as much for my food if it means the staff isn't being abused, and instead is paid their worth. THIS is how you do capitalism.

>>13497371
Their quality has gone WAY up. Last time I was there it looked like actual food being made, and it didn't make me feel like they fed me xenomorph eggs that tried to escape 2 hours later. The manager was on top of his staff, his staff was great, the place was damn near spotless. I used to hate taco bell...

>>13497343
Those stupid dollar menus are worth a lot to fast food, especially Stoner Bell.

Their demographics is super-low income people under the age of 24. Probably people living with their parents.

and the people #resisting such as NY and California have the streets littered with hypodermic needles, homeless, feces, THE FUCKING PLAGUE, and crumbling infrastructure with people fleeing in record numbers to move to red states like texas

you can try and argue your ideals and theories all you want. But everything time you actually get to implement your ideas we end up with another detroit, or chicago, or new york city, or LA. Mass crime, violence, and poverty thanks to liberalism

No more $5 boxes here. Now it's $6 boxes.

>>13497638
>record economic growth rate, record market highs, record low unemployment, record income increases, record tax cuts on the middle class
Literally the only thing true is the stock market growth and that's because the top 1% got a 25% tax break and bought back their own companies stock while everyone else got pennies on the dollar. Meanwhile, a record deficit of 1.4 trillion and a world literally burning left for the kids. MIGA!

>>13496133
so this is how Taco Bell won the fast food wars

>>13496405
Depending on where you are, it could be they have to front additional shipping costs to supply the location. Fast food is a low-margin commodity so extra costs like that are inevitably going to get passed down the line, unfortunately.

>>13496357
That sucks, but I would have immediately noticed that my bag was too light and inspected it for the correct order.

>>13497723
the tax reform is seeing your average person take home an additional $75 per week ya potato! and the deficit is shrinking and down 8% since 2018
>a world literally burning left for the kids
yeah it's a shame liberal environmental policies that prevent regular clearing of brush are allowing all these fires to spread

it's unreal how you have your ears plugged and are just refusing to see how fucking great everything is right now due reversing all the failed leftist policies that have been dragging america down

haven't you noticed that across all of history the more liberal a society gets the closer it comes to collapsing, and the golden age of all civilizations across all of time are when they are conservative
weird coincidence

>>13496430
>I'll go eat where the prices are as advertised.
lol the prices are right there on the sign you dummy

imagine being too poor to eat at fucking taco bell

that shit hasnt been a dollar where ive lived for a while now, always gotta scrounge for coins so that they dont jew me when i mtrying to get some burritos

>>13496712
you do know that prices for everything have increased in the past 40 years but wages haven't, right?

and you also know that because of inflation, your money is always going to have less buying power in a few years regardless of wage increases or supply line changes, right?

right??

>>13497140
If a job is worth doing, it's worth paying a living salary to have done. unless you're one of those retards who wants 16 year olds working at 24 hour locations all day every day?

Went again tonight and took a pic. I don't live in a city, but it is an affluent, non-flyover locale. Honestly the biggest change they made was to move the dollar menu from the top left to the right side, so that it isn't the first thing you see.

It is worth $15 an hour because 15 is a livable wage. No one should have multiple Jobs full time in order to break even

$1 each, best taco bell item

>>13500200
they don't even look like that tho
best taco bell item is the breakfast crunchwrap hands down

>>13499008
>>13499229
They actually raised the price of the shredded chicken mini quesadilla to $1.39 after people caught on and started buying en masse. Also, the new double stacked tacos are not a dollar here, they are $1.39 as well.

Commiefornia truly is abysmal.

That's is why they don't try to argue policies. They just use ad hominen and hyperbolic exaggerations.

In fact, I think the reason they hate the orange man so much is because he is a strong, loud and proud Caucasian and they are all racist.

Preach brother.

Caucasians ended slavery, not just in their countries but in Africa and the Middle East. And yet Caucasians are the only ones that get blamed for historic slavery. No one cares about modern slavery in sweat shops and unpaid internships.

Do they still have that fuckhuge potato burrito? I'm considering a run either there or the gas station with fried chicken

>>13496993
>companies constantly posting record breaking sales
>workers still get paid shit
The real solution is simply to institute a corporate minimum wage and maximum wage. These faggots don't need 6-8+ figure salaries. Impose a maximum of 100k for anyone higher up in the ladder than a fucking janitor, fuck these rich cunts, and raise minimum wage for corp's to $25 an hour. Small mom and pop businesses can continue to pay lower wages, but these megacorp fucks need to eat shit and die.

Also institute a fair wage for waitresses/waiters, none of that "hurr we pay you trash, dance for tips faggot" bullshit either.

People shouldn't take a job if they feel like they're being underpaid. That's the whole point of a market.
When you flood an area with people, the value of each person goes down because the jobs are scarce.

>>13497638
If a job has to be done, you pay someone willing to do it the amount they're willing to do it for. You, the person hiring, don't get to set the price unless multiple people are competing for the job.
If you have to either pay 1 guy 17 bucks, or 2 guys 12 bucks, you should find 1 guy willing to do the work of 2 people for 17 bucks.

>>13500454
>but in Africa and the Middle East
lol no we didn't
they still have slaves there

>>13500337
They upgraded them from mini quesadillas to quesadilla melts. Bigger for the same price.

It may be different in America but taco bell is probably the worst fast-food joint here by far and the prices are about mid level as far as fast food goes.

>>13496544
Everyone knows you're samefagging and its sad tbqh

Taco Bell is generally considered the best national chain in the US, and the only one that still has a real dollar menu. JitB is probably held in the lowest regard as far as national chains go.

>>13496993

>>13501452
Best in terms of food quality? Or in terms of revenues/profits?

I'm talking just about the food itself, although a lot of taco bells have closed here or share a store with kfc

>>13501475
Food quality/value.

>>13501479
It must be different there, then. Meat seems like it's dried powder that they put in hot water to plump it, cheese is like plastic and the hard taco shells are always stale and the soft are soggy. It's like $8-10 for a combo meal.

>>13501503
>combo meal
Well it's not my fault you're retarded.

>>13501509
I'm just using that as an example of the price. I have no idea what the single menu items cost because I haven't been there in years.but do notice the bold combo prices if I'm in a food court or some shit like that

It is worth $15/hour.

>but EMTs make that much

The real question is why are certified EMTs making $15 when they should be making more

>But EMTs can't be making as much as specialized skilled personelle

Good point, they should also be making more. CoL and inflation has exploded where theoretically we should be making ~$25/hr to have a basic living but economists and rich assholes with nothing to do with the lower class dictates how the lower class should live

>>13505858
Wages arent determined by how much you feel you deserve, but by how easily you are replaced and how much wealth you generate. (Supply and demand)

>>13505874

>you feel you deserve

It's not how I feel, it's reality. We can manage to justify $7.25/hr because people live with family, have 20 roommates, have mexicans working under the table, work 2-3 jobs at once and other things that manage to let people just not fucking die in the street. The moment anyone loses any of those support systems they are fucked.

Granted, we can argue they don't deserve to "not" go homeless. It's nobody's responsibility but their own. But as we start having people die from lack of money, the absolute mental stress breaking people (say for example, rise in suicides, mass shootings, and abuse of hard drugs) which will surely dwindle your work force you'll start to see a problem. Thank god for automation though. Why worry about poor people when you can literally phase them out and let your children live in luxury as the gross unwashed masses eventually disappear

>>13505890
You literally aren't addressing the facts that determine wages. You're just winging about what you feel you deserve.

>>13505948

Here's a concept, by paying people shit, you are giving them an incentive not only to be easily replaced but to willingly quit on their own, meaning the costs you saved by paying them shit are being offset by training someone new every week. Perhaps if you invested in a fair enough wage, you would actually "SAVE" money by not having to train a new person who will more than likely fuck up and also cost you money in productivity and a loss in product/inventory

how's that for you?

>>13505967
It's incoherent and nonsensical. Wages are the distribution of wealth generated by work. If you want to be apid more you need to create more wealth with your work. Software developers arent paid more than civil engineers (people who build roads and bridges) because they are more deserving or dependent or whatever silliness you're talking about. Software developers are paid more because software has mich higher profit margins and thus the effective demand is significantly higher.
Tho if i could expect you to understand what "supply" and "demand" meant in market terms, we wouldnt be having this conversation.
