I heard on the radio that Taco Bell announced those shells were never intended for food purposes and were only used for training (and then thrown away).
Yeah right! Nice save...

I love Taco Bell so much, I can't even eat there. The more I eat it, the more I want it. It's a sickness. I don't know how it happened to me.  I'm the same way. I just don't ever go because once I start I find myself running there every day for lunch. Beef Baja Chalupa. The most unhealthy food on the planet. Great. Now I want one. |

I heard that too, and I call bullshit. First off, how would they know which taco shells these are. And second, I guess I have trouble believing that such a low cost / low margin place like Taco Bell discards so many taco shells every time they need to train a minimum wage worker. I also found it odd that they didn't announce immediately that this guy was fired. Seriously, if there is ever cause to fire someone on the spot, the headline of this picture is it. They said "local management was dealing with it." What kind of douchbag life do you think that guy is going to lead? I know that teens are stupid, but is this a smart kid having a dumb day, or is this kid doomed to a life of stupidity? |

Yes, no one ever licked a soft shell.

The problem is any company with one bad employee, a camera phone and a need to be noticed can have this happen to them.
I like watching Mystery Diners on Food Network where the put cameras in resturaunts to catch employees doing bad things. These are mom and pop type resturaunts, not fast food. I remember one where they planted a compaining diner who sent food back. The waitress got new food, then stuck some of it down her shirt and rubbed it on her boobs then served it to the guy (the guy had an earpiece and the guys watching told him not to eat it). The waitress was the niece of the owner! Makes you think twice about complaining to servers.

When they confronted her, she told the owner that her mother (his sister) would make him hire her back after she was fired. She is now working for another restaurant. |

Makes me want to eat out even less than I already do. A couple years ago my youngest son was a line / tap / keg cleaner for a beer distributor so he had to go into all the local restaurants to clean and service their beer taps. Oh, the things he saw behind the counters! Terrible. He'd give us the heads-up as to which ones where better, but I just got tired of the whole thing. Why take a chance? Thankfully he was promoted and didn't do that for long because he wouldn't go out to eat after that, either. |

Ironically, if a customer didn't suffer any ill health effects as a result of this kind of stunt (and I don't see why anyone would), and wasn't aware it happened, it's harmless--and pointless. |

Even this kid who licked the taco shells - unless he has some communicable disease, it isn't really a problem. I mean, I don't want to french this guy or anything, but it wouldn't be the first time in my life I had someone's tongue in my mouth.

Kind of ironic that this came out the very night I ate at taco bell.

They have officially fired this kid.
They said the picture was part of a campaign to have employees post pictures that prove how much they love Taco Bell food. So, this kid thought he was going to win some contest because he loves Taco Bell so much, he wants to lick all the shells. When in reality, he gets fired. I almost feel sorry for him.
Trivia for today, did you know that Taco Bell was started by Glen Bell, and that is why it is named "Taco Bell." He is just a big white guy, who had a series of fast food joints. LOL. Not that I really thought it was Mexican food or anything. But it is still worth a facepalm.
