I was comfortable doing this job because I had been at a different Taco Bell from the time I graduated high school to the time I graduated college.
What I wish was different
I wish that the way people treated others and each other had been different. It was very disappointing.
Advice
One piece of advice is no matter how rough things are, stick it out as best as possible. Try to remember that you aren’t the only one who may be struggling and that your actions will affect others.

Line Cook
May 2019 • North Port, FL
What I liked
I liked the experience of fast food in such a manner. All the personal connections I made with coworkers as well as customers made the job a whole new memory for me to look back on. The food was alright but considering the amount of money I don't have...I liked the food.
What I wish was different
My rate of pay for sure could have been different considering the amount of experience I have as is. more respect could have also been given to most of us workers. I wish I had made it to management before I have to leave to go back to school.
Advice
I learned from working here that college is necessary to be successful in any job. Also to be successful in life in general. If one plans to make this job a career, then my advice is to get ready honestly for a horrible life full of Baha Blast, toxic grill cleaner fumes, and rude degenerate citizens.
