Horible Employee's

I'm sure you will be attacked because your writing is something short
of perfect. But regardless, they should not open 30-40 minutes past
what the sign states. You should not be comped in anyway (you weren't
asking for that right), but a manager does need to know about it. So I
think this letter was written because of a valid complaint. However,
if you wish to be taken seriously, your writing needs to be improved.
Just have someone proof read it for you. There are plenty of "grammar
experts" right here on planetfeedback who desperately need a job.
(IMHO)

I wouldn't want to go to a restaurant with a "drive throw", I prefer
to have my food handed to me.

No one was forcing you not to eat, that was your choice. There are
other fast food restaurants open at that time and you could have
easily gone there.

I'm not going to say anything about the atrocious spelling and grammar
usage, wow.

Hmmmm..I know that is frustrating. They should have posted a sign
stating the problem and when they would be open

You need to learn how to spell. Then once you become more intelligent
you might be able to get a better job so you can afford to eat
somewhere other than Taco Bell.

Why on earth would anyone want to eat Taco Bell at 10 in the morning?

first of all.. before you write a letter to a company.. learn how to
spell words correctly. #2-CUT OUT THE CUSSING. If i were the head
manager, i'd toss this letter right out. seems like your the a**
h**** to me! What company do you work for that hires people who can't
spell "SHOULD" and "CHOICE"??? wow

"i think you shold hire emplyees how are good and nice not a** h****
how dont know how to run a store"

What?

"I think they sould teach the employee's how to run a store and be
good to a customer."

I think you should learn manners. Hint: Never use the word, "A**H****"
in a professional letter, (even with the pretty, little stars.)

If the Taco Bell employee really asked you to come back 40 minutes
after they opened, I would have asked for the phone number to
corporate and let them know the store was not in compliance.

I believe Burger King, McDonalds, Bruegger's, all have stores near
Roseville, MN. Maybe you could try there, or pack a lunch.

this has been a PSA.

i will not say a word about the fact that you can't spell. i didn't
even notice, honest. i just wanted to say that everywhere i've been
taco bell doesn't open till 11a.m. because they only serve lunch and
dinner.

I've been told we should NOT leave feedback for grammar and spelling.

Erik - 100% behind you on this one - you're right! Not the best
written letter ever but I've never been an expert myself with stuff
like that. If they don't care about you as a customer you shouldn't
go back. You basically told an establishment that you have money that
you want to give them and they said come back later. Outrageous!! Not
the best way to make your revenue budget for the day. Hope you find
another place to eat in the AM - good luck!

I don't think this letter could be any worse if it was written in
crayon.
You're not fooling anyone. You were robbing the place because no one
would employ you with your lack of ability to put a thought together,
let alone a sentance.

I think you're overreacting a little bit. Sometimes things go wrong
and stores cannot open on time.

Sounds like there was a major problem with something in the store and
he just didn't tell you what it was. It's possible several employees
did not show up and he was managing it on his own but we don't know
and I wish you could have asked him what the holdup was. You might not
be writing this.

Way, way, back in the day when I was working my very first job at
Hardee's, we came in one morning at 5:00am to find that a hose under
the fryer had sprung a leak and our kitchen/counter area was coated in
grease. You'd better believe that we did not open at 6:00am that
day!

Granted, the employee should have apologized and given you an
explanation, but I think you overreacting just a bit.

Nice attitude, Eric. First of all, did you ever consider that they
may not have synchronized their clocks with yours? You state that it
was 10:02, and they should have been open. What if their computers
said 9:55? Does your watch overrule their computers? I have to
wonder if your attitude didn't cause the employee to "jokingly" send
you away from an almost ready to open store, but even if not, you're
upset over one "problem" morning with a place you "always" stop at.
Sometimes things happen...have you never had a bad morning? Yet here
you are angry and calling names.

Um, I think you may be the a**h*** here.

You also can't spell.

For the record, I work about two minutes from the Taco Bell in
Roseville. Within a half-mile radius, we have:

McDs (more than one)
Wendy's
Famous Dave's
Burger King
LeeAnn Chin (chinese takeout)
KFC

And that's just what I can recall, and that doesn't include sit-down
places such as Red Lobster, Applebee's, TGIF, etc.

Plenty of choices, Erik S.

What, no McDonald's?

You used to work at Taco bell? Im shocked...

This is a horribly written leter. May I take the liberty of rewriting
it for you?


Dear Taco Bell,

On Saturday, April 14, I stopped by your Roseville, MN location a
couple minutes prior to 10AM. I frequently visit this location on my
way to work, as they open at 10AM.
I pulled into the drive thru, and waited for someone to greet me, but
no one came. I waited for a minute, in case they were still in the
process of opening. When I saw an employee, I asked why I had not been
greeted yet. It was now a couple minutes past ten. I was told that
they were not open yet, and to come back in 20-40 minutes. This would
have made me late for work, so I had to leave without getting any
food.

I think that if a store posts its hours as opening at 10AM, they
should be open and ready to do business at that time, not 10:30 or
later. I hope that someone can look into this matter, so that I may
continue giving this location my business on my way to work in the
morning.

Thank you,
Erik S.


Feel free to cut and paste this in a new letter. You might get a
better response. Your letter will end up in the circular file.

Why don't you just fix your own breakfast instead of eating out all
the time? It is really that simple. What type of breakfast is Taco
Bell? For goodness sakes, eat a salad or a bowl of cereal.

I'd just like to state for the record that I am categorically,
completely and one hundred percent NOT the person who wrote this
letter.

It must be rough in your area...
The only place to eat is one lone Taco Bell.

They have a Drive Throw, where I guess you have to catch the food they
throw at you.

And obviously, there are no dictionaries or spell check programs.

You should move.

I am sorry that there is no food whatsoever in Roseville, Minnesota,
besides what you can get at this particular Taco Bell. The lines must
be horrendous.

But all this seems to come down to "They opened late." There are all
kinds of reasons why the store might open late. For example, perhaps
the employee(s) who have the skills and/or keys and/or safe
combinations to get the cash registers going hadn't arrived there yet.
Or maybe there was a problem with the food prep equipment. It might
be that the employees do not know how to run a store, but it might
also be that something went unexpectedly wrong that morning and they
were dealing with it. Since you don't know why the store opened late,
I would really suggest being more businesslike in the letter.

Actually, I would suggest being more businesslike anyway no matter
what the reason for the late opening is. For example, you might want
to leave out the "a**h***" reference and, if you don't say "angry"
instead, at least spell "pissed" correctly.

In fact, a letter like "On Saturday, April 14, I arrived at the Taco
Bell just before 10 am. The store opens at 10 am on Saturdays.
However, I waited for about 5 minutes at the drive through and no-one
showed up to take my order. I did spot one employee and asked him,
but he said the store wasn't open and wouldn't be ready to take my
order for 20 to 40 minutes. I was disappointed as I had counted on
having some Taco Bell food for breakfast but didn't have time to wait
for 20 minutes, and I wanted you to know why you lost a sale" might be
more effective than the one you actually sent even if all the
employees besides the one with the broom were in fact inside trying to
finish cleaning up from an early-morning methamphetamine-cooking
session.

Incidentally, there are places that will sell you food and ship it to
you from out of town. I've been quite happy with the Tasty Bites
brand. While Taco Bell might have effectively had a monopoly on food
in Roseville in the past, as long as you have an internet connection
and a credit card there are probably ways that you can get hold of
food these days.

This is an excellent letter...if you want to show an example of one
that's going to get sent straight to the circular file!

If you are going to curse in a letter, at least spell them correctly,
it pissed not pised!

What's a drive throw?

Horrible letter!

Your English, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are atrocious. Your
use of the "ahole" word means this letter will disappear before the
night is over.

People, Minnesota is top in the nation when it comes to test scores,
college entrance exams, etc. Erik must be from North Dakota. Right,
SiouxFan? ;)

This is the second letter today in which I've had to ask:

Is this letter a belated April Fools joke? I really, REALLY hope so.

Whoa, someone needs spelling lessons. What a nasty, utterly
illiterate piece of smoldering snot you have posted.

Not to mention an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

Two minutes late, they are, and you're calling them names?

I have a few for you...

"I have no choise [sic] if I want food in the morning.

Yes, you do. It's called get off your duff, go grocery shopping and
eat breakfast BEFORE you leave for work.

Oh, and I highly, highly doubt you get absolute no breaks between
10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Illiterate doofs like you "pis" me off.

Erik, first of all, referring to the employees as '@$$ holes' doesn't
win you any brownie points.
That, coupled with your horrific use of spelling and grammar shows
little maturity on your part (yes, I went there, but let's be real
about this grammar thing - you're addressing a corporation and expect
results; this looks like it was written by a nine-year-old with the
attitude to match).

I agree that if they're supposed to be open at 10 AM, then they should
be open, but sometimes things don't exactly happen on schedule.
There are all sorts of reasons why they might have been running
behind.
As for you being hungry the rest of the day, surely they aren't the
only fast food joint in town...? You had ample opportunity to
patronize another business once you found out that they would be
delayed.
