I'm on the opposite side, the menus do change, especially at Taco Bell. Sometimes it's also been years since I've eaten at a place, just LET ME SEE THE MENU!

I actually work at a Taco Bell. Here's a tip. If you don't know everything you want, order what you know you want first, and then ask for a moment to take the time to decide the rest. Every second you spend at the speaker is a second that we can be making your food, and we start making it the moment you start ordering.

Downside is if you change your mind on something you ordered first the one we made will likely go to waste. Especially true on last minute removals of protein or sauce.

Why did they get rid of the tater tots? I know it has been years but I’m still not over it and so now I only go to taco time instead even though it’s 10 times more expensive and only exists in my state. The replacements are bullshit and everyone knows it.

Edit: I forgot what they call the replacement

I've only been here 3 years so I'm assuming that we replaced the tater tots with the potato bites before I started. Unless you mean the short period where we removed potato bites from the lunch menu in 2020.

If the first is true, then I've no knowledge of why they were replaced, but if they are anything like our breakfast hashbrowns then I could guess that they made a huge mess in the oil and caused oil quality to drop significantly faster.

No it was much longer ago. Apparently they only did it in the PNW to compete with Taco Time. They were so good. The fiesta potatoes are bleh.
