Is that a real thing because it sounds awful.

I don't mind Taco Bell on the rare occasion but eating it 9 times in one day while also running sounds like hell. LOL

Sounds like the guys who ran the San Francisco bay to breakers and
stopped at every open bar along the way.

My wife used to work along the race route, we went to her third-floor
office and watched the festivities from there. More people than not
dress in costume for it, and one of the funniest moments to me was
seeing the seeded runners in the front of the pack at the beginning
running, followed closely by a guy in an inflatable giraffe costume, the
head bobbing like one of those Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guys.

Hi, slacker.

Uh, yeah. Given the tendancy for long distance runners to foul their britches *anyway* without eating a load of spicy fast food I feel like vomiting would be the 'good' option.

It's also quite expensive these days. The dang burritos that you used to be able to get several of with the change you find in the drivethru are now almost $3. Ridiculous!

Lately when I get food from Taco Bell, I've often been ordering one of their value boxes from their mobile app. Even those prices have been going up a bit, but it's still less expensive than ordering the combo meals or items individually.

Other fast food apps are similar in providing deals with their mobile apps. I was sometimes getting Burger King with deals in their mobile app, until a couple years ago when even their app deals started to get fairly expensive. Burger King had some pretty good deals too, such as 2 Whopper meals w/ small fries & drinks for $9 (US), etc.. But not anymore.

We were lucky to have grown up in the age of car ashtrays full of
change, cheap cars, cheap gas and cheap drive-thru fast food. :)

For some reason, I'm really not a fan of ordering food through an app or a website or basically anything other than talking to a person. It's weird that I'm not, because I love computers and tech and all that shit.. but I also don't like talking to computers. Giving them commands through a keyboard is sufficient for me... but I digress. People talk about the deals through the apps and such.. I suppose I don't eat at fast food places enough to take advantage of those things. When you are saying $9 for two Whopper meals is cheap, I'm thinking that used to be $6, and it wasn't worth it THEN.

Have you noticed that Jack In The Box tacos are still 2 for 99cents, like they have been for like 40 years or something? That's a little weird.

Totally. I could ride my bike to the Taco Bell drive-thru and find enough change on the ground for at least one, sometimes two, 29 cent burritos! Even when the price kept going up to 59 cents!

I miss that classic jingle, 59, 79, 99 cents for their key items at Taco Bell.

And then AM PM had 49 cent refills if you bought their official 32 ounce bottle back in 1990-1993.

I don't mind ordering through a screen but I'll be damned if I want to
download an app to my phone just to order from a place. Like, McDonalds
doesn't get real estate on my phone by way of an app just so I can order a
side of fries lol.

What kills me is all the different parking apps I have had to download, what
a total pain in the ass those things are!

What kills me is all the different parking apps I have had to download, what a total pain in the ass those things are!

I love being able to order with a well-designed, well-functioning screen, as I can see and think about the various options on the menu, with fewer pressures to respond _right now_, depend on being heard, and so on.

And I tend to hate app ordering, because the apps are there to try and figure out what kind of customer you are, have differential pricing, gather data, and so on.

And to top that off, I oftentimes _can't_ use an app, because I've never bothered to change my Google location from the US to Germany, so a variety of apps wind up being region locked.

Even worse than that, though, was when I went to Norway, we rented an electric car for part of it, and struggled with trying to charge it, as there was a set of stations where charging was available _only_ to Norwegian residents with a certain payment thing (and app) set up, and nowhere did it _say_ this; just that you'd figure it out after spending half an hour trying to get it to work.

But, yeah, in general I like using things that remove a problem or two for me, and detest using things that are designed a certain way because it's better for the company.

I may have to take that sort of behavior with various things on the internet, but I certainly don't have to take it with restaurants.
