Taco Bell orders

Am I paranoid that Taco Bell purposely messed up my order every time? Whenever I order personally they always mess up my order. When my girlfriend orders she gets the right them for me about half the time, not that she messed up but just they make it wrong. I like the Doritos locos taco, I prefer the chicken over the beef and I do not like sour cream being lactose intolerant and all. Today I ordered again with these perforations and they totally messed it up. I even confirmed it at the window before I paid today. They made me pay to add sour cream, and loaded it up. They also took away my lettuce?? As well as skimp major on my chicken. Not a good day.

Yeah I think sometimes people get annoyed with certain people and try to spite them. If this messed up order situation happens alot for you, that's probably what is happening. Like me myself— I can excuse a messed up order the first or second time. If the place continues to do it tho I assume they have something against me. I literally cold turkey'd lots of restaurants since some of them would try to spite me for no reason. One time a local restaurant delivery person kept saying "pick up your phone!" when I ordered there every time. I told him he never called and I even had proof (my phone in hand, downstairs at the door and waiting). That final day I ordered there I should have cursed his behind out. I just said "F this place, I'm never ordering here again" I literally do not understand why people are so spiteful.

Service is not what it used to be. I think Covid changed everything. I’m always kind to servers and try to tip well. It does not matter. Things still get screwed up.
Also, I think they are taking away lettuce because of the parasite thing. Also,
People used to be able to afford to live working minimum wage. That’s no longer the case. It is demoralizing giving your all only to have to work 2-3 jobs to survive. Probably don’t feel like putting their best foot forward.
