Taco Bell Must Be Stopped

  • I know I have mentioned this a lot in the past, but I need to talk about this new burrito.
    Taco Bell has always been a place for people to get garbage. But that garbage had always been inexpensive and delicious. But now that they have introduced a burrito that would have been $3 just a year ago, what is left?
    The Cantina Chicken Menu is an affront to everything that Taco Bell fans have loved about them for years. And the only thing we can do is move on without them. Or maybe it's not really all that serious, and people should do what they want to do. Either way, thanks for watching.
    If you would like to support the channel, there are a couple of places that you can do that now.

    Taco Bell has lost all aspects of what made them popular over the years. Vote with your wallet people. Dont buy their overpriced things. That's what enables these companies to keep increasing prices.

      At this exact Taco Bell, there is a Chipotle right next to it. The tacos are three for $9 at Chipotle, and $3.29 apiece at Taco Bell. It's wild.

Dude I can even go to a sit down Mexican spot and pay the same price for tacos..my thought is they are trying it out to see if people would be willing to pay..

      My rent went up from $850 to $1100 at the beginning of last year. Had to beg for more hours at my second job to cover the difference. Went from working 60 hours a week to around 70-75 so slowly but surely I'm feeling more and more like a slave. I'm 28 and when my dad was my age he was doing fine at 40 hours a week as a school janitor and we were always financially stable. I'm also a school janitor and make $4 more per hour than he did and if I only worked that job I'd be homeless right now. I was basically forced to pick up a second job at a Burger King and that always me to be financially stable but even then I have almost no savings and the only things I splurge on are internet and $30 a month for my phone.
      My dad could take my brother and I out to eat at steakhouses, buffets, and restaurants but the only restaurant I've ate at in the past 3 years has been Burger King during my free lunches on my break.

    I couldn't have said it better. I bought one the other day to try it. While it is delicious, I can get a huge burrito from a local family running their own restaurant for less. Heck, even getting the double beef burrito is an astronomically better deal. What we have here is purely marketing and it is NOT worth it.

      @@marycoppin9040 It is in double digits here in the US. Countries like the US and others influence the price based on their economy worldwide, so the United States reaching a 40 year high immediately affects global trade and or (inflation). There is always some sort of inflation, worldwide, regardless of country. But the current administration which led to the huge increase in food prices, gasoline prices, the housing market, and the list goes on. It’s funny. The Democrats said that all these things were gonna happen if Trump was elected, but it was the complete opposite. Biden is a complete joke. He can’t even form a sentence. He sniffs kids. He’s nothing but a puppet for the elite controlling his every move.

    You are very smart & funny! We broke up with Taco Bell once we were done with college & our niece worked there & told us the beef was a powder they added hot water to. I’m guessing that’s probably still true-ick.
    I think all fast food is price gouging (& blaming it on wages)…and will continue doing so until they can’t.

  • @geobrad2645
    @geobrad2645 4 месяца назад +1

    But the chicken is different…. They had/have a beefy burrito that I think was 2 bucks and they also had a grilled burrito and the only difference was one was grilled and one wasn’t. Oh and the fact that it’s 2 dollars more. Same with the quesadillas. I always get the breakfast one and add steak to it and it’s cheaper than a steak quesadilla and basically a buck 50 ish difference plus extra protein from the egg. They also slightly raised say the chicken enchilada and the bean and rice burrito a bit. Cause I do the same thing add beef or steak to the bean and rice and it’s basically the same as other burritos but cheaper. Lol I was checking the add on prices and you have to pay .45 cents to add the cabbage. I don’t even like cabbage much other than its filler. Taco Bell doesn’t care all these places don’t. They just want that bottom line for them and to have higher stock prices. And don’t get me started on wages. My mom worked as a waitress for hardly anything and made it up in tips. So it’s the employer saying I won’t pay you much but the customers that pay for everything else will tip you to make your pay better. Oh and you have to split those tips for the the staff who are getting fuller paychecks. Ok ok I’ll stop…
