I've been calling people autists for years for making threads thinking that being a regular at a restaurant and having a "usual", but I was completely taken off guard when I realized that I was a regular at a fast food place. It's only one of 3 locations that I main.

Here's some facts of life for you. People are busy and want tasty convenient food, which is why the TGIMcfunster's of the world exist.

It's also good to build a rapport with these people because they will give you extra stuff if they like you and won't spit in your food if you don't.

As you get older you life gets more and more 'cringy' but you stop giving a fuck what other people think cause they don't matter and only zoomer dicklets give a shit worrying about some stranger posting about them on twitter like it means shit.

Why are you whining about this? You think you’re too special that ‘lowly’ drive-thru staff shouldn’t recognise you, OP? You’re actually complaining that hard-working people who probably earn shit and get treated like dirt throughout their working days took a moment to be interested in you and your food? It’s a problem for you for human beings to ever express interest in other human beings? Or is it just staff you’ve got a problem with? You seem to be under the woeful misapprehension, OP, that these people exist merely as quasi-human automatons that should keep their heads down and not even make eye contact with you. That’s pretty much the whole thrust of this - they’re your servants and should know their place. Why not just say that, faggot?

Now, I get it, OP; you ran your thread wanting to tap the whole ‘zomg guiz check how based hik I am lol’, but, objectively, you’re a rude, contemptuous, sneering, nasty cunt. I am quite sure IRL you are well known to your family and others that know you as someone who is unreliable, cruel, indifferent, and to be avoided as much as possible unless absolutely necessary for holidays and so on.

You don't seem to understand, anon; I get Taco Bell 5-6 nights a week, but go to this particular location at least 3 nights a week. I went to my second location tonight, which is close to work, but in a different county and they charge for onions and red sauce. That said, the guy at the window poured a strawberry icee by mistake and gave it to me, and then they were out of onions so he offered to put on pico instead, and I'd added onions to 4 items so it worked out really nice to accompany the Emmys, which I for some reason DVR'd.

This was cooked on too high heat, and was likely still cold when they threw it on the grill, so the outside has a thin hard sear while the middle is still raw.

[Anonymous No.12962672]

>>12961450
No, it's medium rare. The center has just passed the completely raw point.

And yes, you are right that it was threw on the grill still cold on a very hot plate so that it would get a nice sear while retaining a delicious rare center.

OPs burger is perfectly medium. Medium is right between uncooked and cooked in colour. The perfect pink. If what i posted is raw, you are implying nothing exists between OPs medium burger and completely raw.

Taco Bell almost rarely fails to please when you're drunk (unless they skimp on the fillings - they can be really inconsistent - or forget to grill your burritos, which is unforgivable). Most nights when I get into my car after work I whisper to myself (in a Norther Westerosi accent): "not today", but as soon as I get around a quarter way into my car flask I start to think, "hey, today sucked; I deserve to spend $4 on 1400 calories of the healthiest fast food!" It honestly took me awhile to even give the nachos a chance, since I hate their chips and dip you get with most $5 boxes, and usually just add the dip to other items and throw out the chips. But the dollar nachos is actually a pleasant surprise, especially when it's been steaming for half an hour so the chips are a little soggy and it's more like eating a "deconstructed" (I studied philosophy and literary theory and hate that term applied to food) been and cheese burrito, but you get a lot more bang for your buck. Adding onions takes it to the next level, but substituting pico is close to life changing.

My statement was inprecise. It's medium rare because the whole of it, even the center, has gone beyond being rare.

Rare is between room temperature and flesh temperature.

Medium rare about 50-53 C.

Between I would guess 37C and 47C it's hard to detect much changes that the meat has gone over flesh temperature. The meat is still rare at this point. But when it's start having visible cooking characteristics, it becomes medium rare. It's hard to say because meat that has been laid in sauce vide 42C for 24 hours probably will look more cooked than meat that you just let reach 48C.

We're a little more upscale, but decided to put a burger on the menu just to give people options if they didn't know what they were getting into. It was my idea to offer a few burger variations on the menu to get more people to order them because they're easy to make and cost effective. We order in the pattys and buns, but people generally rave about our burgers, which is weird since they were kind of an afterthought.

I haven't eaten Taco Bell forever, and honestly only got into it with the double chalupa special awhile back, but I think I've more than earned my keep, and if you still have any of those fancy xbox's laying around I wouldn't complain (PM me for shipping details); though someone keeps saying you're doing another promotion soon and if it's a Playstation I'll also be happy with one of those (FFVII remake tie-in?). The new guy fucked up by not having onions, but made up for it by subbing pico, but when I nuked my bean and rice burrito for breakfast this morning I was very disappointed to find that it was ungrilled. This is not acceptable, and would be akin to going out on a second date at Ruth's Chris, ordering a mid-rare filet, and being served a well done hockey puck.

If the coke is not pure, it may have these scents mixed with chemical undertones.
This was the first thing that came up on google for, "what does cocaine smell like", and "perfume or incense" is probably the closest you can get to describing the smell. If I never see it again until I'm in my 80's I'm positive I'll still immediately recognize the scent.
