So I drive a hot car and I didn't want to go home to an empty house...I got lost of course...and saw a Taco Bell about a half hour before but couldn't find it again...so I drove WAY WAY WAY out of my way to where I am familiar with...my old neighborhood.
Today wasn't the best day...I was feeling really lonely and down and SINGLE. I went to Taco Bell, but I didn't get a drink because I wanted an iced caramel coffee from Jack in the Box. It's not the closest to where I live...but familiar. After tonight I will continue to drive out of my way.
I pulled up at 12:27 am and the employee working informed me the fryer was out. I told him all I wanted was a drink and not to worry about the fryer. When I pulled up to the window he told me, I was so nice. You never know what kind of day someone is having and just a few simple words can make someone's whole day. We had a little conversation and his disposition about a busted fryer was still sunny and cheerful and he kept his sense of humor about the situation. He didn't seem inconvenienced or irritated. I wish I had tipped him or asked him his name so I could give him a shout out. The drink was great, but the service is why I am giving five stars.
My last experience here was pretty poor. I waited over five minutes for a single sandwich inside at the counter and left without my sandwich because I needed to go to work. I thought it's just a biscuit sandwich with at least five people working how long can it take...but this experience tonight restored my faith in this location and I will drive here...WAY WAY out of my way from now on.
