I'm sorry, that was me placing a bogus order through the app (enough to feed 6 Chantals) using a VPN.

Because that same shit happened to me, we waited over 10 minutes because they DID NOT MAKE BISCUITS (it was 8:30 am how do you not have the staple item on your fucking menu); went to bitch but doors were locked (we are in the hood), walked to drive thru window to bitch, they asked if I wanted it on a croissant, I said FINE make it a croissant - they brought out food and they Still. Got. It. Wrong.

So yeah I am about to cause them a little trouble here in the near future.

I used to work at Taco Bell as a teenager. Someone once told me that that they watched the clock in their car in the drive through and it literally took a half-hour to get their food. He was wondering why tf it takes a half hour to get their tacos.

This was back around 2010, but the reason “fast food” like Taco Bell is so slow is because there are between 1 and 2 employees making everyone’s food. The absolute minimum Taco Bell would staff their stores is with 3 - 1 manager, who would sit in the back and masturbate, one peon to take orders (for both the drive through and lobby) and one cook.

My absolute favorite was when I was left completely alone to run the entire store. Take orders from both the drive through and lobby -> wash hands -> make food -> process payment and handle next orders -> wash hands -> make food. That’s why you wait half hour at Taco Bell.

It’s faster, cheaper, easier, and tastier to simply make your own Tacos at home. Also, the reason Taco Bell’s ground beef tastes weird is because it’s like 50% ground corn. That’s why homemade ground beef always tastes better.

I'm not an economist, but I'm noticing sudden gaslighting whenever Biden's economy is "improving." Several articles I've read mention the pandemic as a cause for rising prices, yet they don't account for the lock downs having people off work.

If Trump inherited Obama's economy, then Trump's economy was beneficial for the average American. Also, I'm sure the average consumer can notice sudden price increases on gas, groceries, rent, fast food while wages remain stagnant.

Don't even get me started on reckless spending on two wars at the taxpayer's expense. Or the revisionism of the terms inflation and recession around 2021-2022. If I can notice my spending being MORE now than five, six years ago, that's not signs of a good economy.

Biden has debts of up to $815,000...and no one bought his books last year, financial records show​

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are carrying a personal debt of up to $815,000, their financial records show, and no one is buying the president's books.

Most of the couple's debt is the mortgage on their Delaware home and an equity loan on that home. Additionally their debt consists of a term loan of about $15,000 and a loan against a mutual fund for about $50,000.

In total, the Bidens reported assets between roughly $1 million and $2.6 million and liabilities between roughly $350,000 and $850,000, according to an Office of Government Ethics form that lists ranges rather than precise figures.

The Bidens' financial records, along with those of Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, are required to be made public annually under the Ethics in Government Act, which was introduced to prevent any conflicts of interest.

In his form, President Biden reveals he has had no royalties from his two books: 'Promises to Keep' and 'Promise Me, Dad' this year.

Jill Biden reported no royalties for her memoir 'Where the Light Enters' but did note she received royalties of up to $1,000 for her two children's books: 'Don't Forget: God Bless Our Troops' and 'JOEY: The Story of Joe Biden.'

The first lady has another children's book coming out this July: 'Willow the White House Cat' about life at the executive mansion as seen through the eyes of the family pet.

Jill Biden also reported receiving a salary from Northern Virginia Community College, where she has been a professor since 2009. She did not disclose the amount she has paid.

The White House released the documents for the two couples on Wednesday.

Biden's Republican rival Donald Trump's finances have been in the news amid several legal cases, including a current hush-money case in New York.

Trump, who is not a sitting government official, has not made a comparable disclosure.

Biden's liabilities include a mortgage on his personal home carrying a balance between $250,001 and $500,000. The interest rate for the mortgage, which Biden incurred from TD Bank in 2013, is 3.375%.

The president took out a home-equity loan in 2022 with a variable interest rate and a 10-year term, which rose to $100,000 to $250,000 from $15,001 to $50,000.

The president also reported having less cash in the bank than he did in the past year.

One of his bank accounts showed a cash total of $50,000 to $100,000 from $250,000 to $500,000 last year. Another account showed $50,000 to $100,000 in cash, a drop from $100,000 to $250,000 a year earlier.

Harris, meanwhile, disclosed Beyonce gave her tickets to her 2023 concert in Washington D.C. She valued the tickets at $1,655.92.

She and Emhoff also revealed that ESPN had gifted her tickets worth $1,890 to Howard University's football game against Florida A&M. Harris is a graduate of Howard.

Emhoff reported receiving income from Georgetown University where he teaches a class. He did not report the amount he receives.

He also reported several investments, likely tied to his years as a partner at DLA Piper. He left that job when Harris was elected vice president.

Biden reported no gifts in his disclosure.
