I just ordered Taco Bell drive thru to get my favorite top tier fast food breakfast item, the Breakfast Crunchwrap with Sausage. I used to get the meal deal with a 4 pack Cinnabon Delights (click here for a funny taco bell cinnabon story) and a coffee but they recently changed their coffee and it tastes like industrial cleanser now. I complained twice thinking it was just maybe because I was the first person to order black coffee that day and they maybe just cleaned the coffee maker but the second time the guy said they recently changed their coffee brand and I wasn't the the first person to complain. How many people does it take because it's totally gross now. It's a bummer because I used to actually not hate their coffee.
Now while I'm taking a gander at the order screen I notice that they have the new Limited Time Only: Salted Caramel Churros. They didn't have em when we ordered from the app last time so I hopefully asked if they had them.
Gonna interject here to set the mood a little bit. I've noticed almost every FF place around here anyway has one older Mexican Madre running the whole fucking place. Even if she's not the manager she's in charge, everyone knows it and she doesn't fuck around. The employee in this story was the Taco Bell Madre.
After I ask if they have the Salted Caramel Churros she hesitates– not a long time but a noticeable amount in terms of drive-thru flow. She finally replies.. "(inaudible drive-thru speaker sounds)..tunately – yes. Do you want to order that?" So I say yea and she gives me my total. As I'm driving away from the menu scree I'm thinking "did she just say fortunately or unfortunately?' The vibe sounded like it was unfortunate that they had the new Limited Time Only-Salted Caramel Churros but she said yes so I'm not sure if she's just being spicy or not. This is the Madre we're dealing with so who knows. All I could think is that if it was unfortunately, that they were hard to make and people have been getting mad that their orders were taking so long.
I eventually get up to the window and she immediately asks me if I like the churros. I told her that I'd never had em and I wanted to try them. Then she makes a grimace and says "ayeee they're too salty. I don't like it" while shaking her head. Ha! She was being spicy!

Review: They are kinda salty but in a salted caramel treat from Disneyland kinda way. Not sure I'd describe them as too salty if she hadn't said anything. 8/10 would again.
