Taco Bell doesn’t have the most locations, that honor belongs to Subway, and it’s not the fastest growing — take a bow, Jersey Mike’s Subs.
But one area where Taco Bell has always reigned supreme is with one very specific population: stoners. For whatever reason, marijuana and Taco Bell seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Given the long relationship between weed smokers and the fast food chain that encourages its customers to “Live Mas” (mas means “more” in Spanish) it comes as no surprise that people order some pretty insane things late at night.
That, at least, is what was revealed in a recent Reddit AMA conducted by “A Taco Bell employee who works graveyard shifts in a state where marijuana is legal.”
The unnamed employee proved his bona fides by providing a photo of his hat and “Employee Meal” receipt and then got to answering Redditors most pressing questions.
After dealing with a few “extra sour cream” jokes, the employee shared some enlightening anecdotes about crazy customer orders.
“Judas Priest, man. We get some weird s–t at 2 in the morning,” the nameless employee began. “Off the top of my head, here are a couple.”
“Guy who keeps mistaking us for KFC (our building is about 60 feet away from one) and argues with us when we tell him he’s in the wrong drive thru.
“Guy last week who thought happy hour was 2am, not 2pm (again, he argued).”
“Woman who ordered 4 XXL Grilled Stuft Burritos and paid for them in nickels and dimes, a whole f—ing ziploc of them. She started crying halfway through her order. Not sure what the f–k was going on there, but I felt bad for her.”
“Surprisingly (or maybe not), stoned people make really good customers. They’re mellow a lot of the time, and they become regulars more often than not.”
While the marijuana smokers provided plenty of weird orders, the Taco Bell employee, who revealed that he was not old enough to legally smoke marijuana and had never “blazed” in his life, saved his best story for a different question.
“The same f—ing guy comes in once a week asking for 2 taco 12 packs with all soft tacos with no beef, no lettuce, no cheese. He shows up at midnight and pays almost 30 bucks for a bag of 24 tortillas. Hell if I know [why].”
