Notice they are too embarrassed to post their prices online. To see the price, you have to put the item in the cart then use some bs 3rd party app. WTF McDs?
"If you have to ask the price, then you can't afford it" happening in a McDonald's, while people are out here financing a pizza from Dominos. It's like we lost the Cold War.
That's too insanely dystopian for anybody in sci-fi to have predicted it.
The closest would be Demolition Man having Taco Bell (or Pizza Hut) as fancy dining. But they imagined the chain upping its game when it gained monopoly. How naive.
That’s how they charge different prices based on region.
Taco Bell does this too, because their prices are so ridiculous now.
Warning! This definitely reads like a taco bell add but I just really appreciate taco bell for having food for vegans and not price gouging like the rest did.
Hard disagree, if you learn what to order and how to customize your food.
Fat ass burritos for 3.50 are not a bad deal imo, and I regularly make my own burritos at home.
They have some trap items to avoid for sure, but the staples are still cheap. Hard shell and soft shell, rice and bean burritos, nacho fries are sort of in the middle price wise, etc.
They are the easiest place for me to make a vegan order from hands down, they actually label shit on their order tablets. They have some freebies that are totally worth it some people never find out about because they order at the speaker exclusively. Fresco replaces cheese and dairy with a pico de gallo, you can toast most regular burritos, and even though its extra you can add nearly anything into anything for super cheap.
Im actually not sure if I'm scamming them somehow because choosing their cheapest items and modifying is always cheaper than buying the same thing but premade. Not in any rush to ask about it either.
No, they absolutely price gouge. A 7-layer burrito here is 8 bucks before tax, just the burrito alone. They don't have anything that's actually cheap here in Canada, and I can get much better for the same price. Their "vegan" options here are also basically just their regular burritos with beans, and are just as ridiculously overpriced. It's bottom-tier garbage food at way-too-high prices for what you get.
What is Canada doing to make taco bell so expensive. I'll have to check next time I go, I know some of their menu items are poorly priced for sure but I just avoid them. 8$ for a burrito I'd be shocked to see at my local one though.
I wish I had a better answer than just "pure and unchecked greed", but that's what's most likely. They can't even be considered the "cheap" option anymore and the quality isn't any better to make up for the increased prices.
Well at least burritos and tacos are stupid easy to make. I make a bean and rice and tomatoes mix in rice cooker all together. But yeah thats a bummer taco bell is awful near you, they've been great for me especially with the vegan friendly menu. Is it possible its only cheap if you avoid meat and dairy? Maybe thats the trick.
The vegan friendly stuff is the same price as their beef equivalents here. Taco Bell in Canada is obnoxious.
