I pull into Taco Bell drive thru behind 2 cars. Wait my turn and ask if they still have their cravings box.
The guy says yes, I tell him I’ll get that and mention my drink. Silence. I wait patiently for 3-5min before he comes back on verifies my order and then tells me to pull around.
2 cars in front of me drive off. I get to the window, pay her and she hands me my drink. I wait about 5 minutes before she asks me to pull forward. No problem.
3 cars proceed to pull up behind me and drive off with their food fairly quickly. The 4th car behind me waits a moderately long time, but as I see the cashier handing them 2 full bags of food, I’ve had enough.
The receipt says it’s been a little over 20min sense the cashier rung me up. I’m done. I turn off my car and head towards the door frustrated and planning on just asking for a refund and leaving.
I pull open the door and come face to face with a man in a uniform holding a Taco Bell bag of food. He says:
”Sorry about…”
I frustratingly cut him off with a “jeeze man!”. Grab the food, turn around, get in my car and drive off.
I get down the road and realize this is not my food. This is enough food for a family of 4…
Now it occurs to me that I just snagged the food of a car 3 places ahead of me. Someone who was parked in a parking spot, and sitting there long before I pulled around. This makes me feel miserable…
An even more horrifying thought occurs to me… maybe that food belonged to the guy at the door. Thinking back, I cannot guarantee he was even wearing a Taco Bell uniform. Maybe it was another fast food chain. Or maybe he was getting off work and heading home to feed his family.
There is a good chance this man was heading home with his food, almost gets run down by someone storming into Taco Bell, is nice enough to say “Sorry about that!”, and then gets cut off and robbed of his food right out of his hands…
I am a monster
TL;DR Tired of waiting for my food, I accidentally steal someone else's order right out of their hands.
