My experience

Lets start from the begining, a few monts ago, I went through the drive through, gave them my credit card and they never gave it back, I called them and they said they had it and would hold it for me, ok that was fine, I drove off with out it so I can go get it, but when I went back no one knew about it and they called me a liar to my face, the manager said they shred all cards left but no card was left that day. I was mad because I had just called and they said they had it. I had to cancel my card and that was a huge hassel. Then a few days ago, in the drive through, the lady dumped my drink on me and all over the car, and she said! ah honey you dropped your drink thats too bad" then shut the window. I went inside and the manager was all fine we will fill your deink, I told him no thats not enough, she dumped my drink, blamed me then didn't even refill my drink. The manager then threw money at me and said what else do you want? We gave you your meal for free. Well all I really wanted was an appology. But now my car is gross, and it is in the appolstry, they said it would be $50 dollars to clean it. Then yesterday I went to a different one, they charged me 15 dollars for a 3 dollar meal on my card, when I asked them to fix it they still gave me the wrong food. I am not impressed with this place at all.
Give customer service classes.

I have a feeling that you spilled the drink yourself and are hoping that because of your carelessness they will pay for ruining your car. After all they gave you a free meal why not try for more. Infact why not get into an accident on the way home and make taco bell pay for it because they made you too angry to pay attention to your driving.

Take spelling classes. Or typing classes. One of the two... or maybe both. Also.... grow up.

The beginning is always a good place to start.
I don't like your experience. Credit Card- your responsability. End of Story.
Spilled Soda- not good- wanting apology ok- fills drink-not enough-gives money back making meal free- not good enough- Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Thank you Reginald)
No Apology- cost 50 dollar to clean car appolstry- don't think so- try dab dab dab club soda club soda club soda dab dab dab-repeat, If not good, try Turtle Wax applostry cleaner. Foams and has a way cool cap with a brush. Costs about 4 dollars.
But wait... There's more... after all this you go to another Taco Bell and they charge 15 dollars for a 3 dollar meal on you CARD, you ask them to fix it and they give you the wrong food- What?
That would have been the last straw for me. Did they override the mistake and change your food?

The manager offered to refill your drink, which is something you complained the employee failed to do. They evidently refunded your meal cost also. Still not good enough - you want an apology. It sounds like they were admitting their error, and if the dynamic of the conversation were right, you would have received an apology (if you didn't get one). However, it sounds like you were being too demanding. They probably never want to see you again.
The credit card story stands on its own. It doesn't sound plausible.
Then your story of being charged $15 for a $3 meal. What the heck? Did you get a receipt, and look at it?
You close by saying you weren't impressed and they should take classes. They probably said the same thing about you after you left.

you know... at my local Taco Bell, they have a neon sign thing at the drive thru, stating if you are charged more than "xx.xx" amount, call a certain number. I don't know if they have this at yours, but you sound either like your a teenager, or just really immature. And can a place even shred a credit card after being left there? They must not trust employees at all.

I'm sorry, the demands in this story are so far over the top.
The only bonus points for you is you didn't demand free chalupas for life.

You know, I'm of two minds on the whole apology thing. On the one hand, it accomplishes exactly nothing. But on the other, sometimes a sincere apology can turn a bad situation into a better one. As a former retail employee, I learned the value of a well-timed apology as a way to head off trouble before it arrived. For example, if someone came in and said, "My phone doesn't work," me saying, "I'm so sorry. Let's take a look," resulted in a much happier customer than if I had said, "Well, I didn't break it, don't yell at me." Of course I didn't break it, but the apology didn't cost me anything, and it saved me plenty of headaches.
I've never worked in food service, but I think if I had been the poor drive through employee in question, I would simply have said, "Oh no, I'm sorry, let me get you another one." And maybe that would have been the end of it. Even if it wasn't her fault, a simple apology might have made all the difference to the OP. I'm not advocating that ridiculous "customer is always right," line, but sometimes pretending as if they were gets them out of your hair faster and keeps them docile. ;)
As far as the letter itself, I can only echo the sentiments of others. This letter is hard to follow, which will make Taco Bell much less likely to act on it. It might be a good plan to calm down, write out a few drafts of this, and resend it after a good proofreading. Good luck.

What type of medication aren't you taking? Your letter writing skills are terrible. Even if you're a teenager and still young, you really need to concentrate on those skills or life is going to be handing you more challenges than the drive-thru!

When people ask for apologies i feel that they are just trying to make themselves feel superior to the "lowly underpaid employee." I see so many letters on PFB where people demand apologies from employees, usually unwarranted. For what? does that take away what happened? do you really think the apology is going to be sincere? is that going to erase the "bad service" you recieved?
If you really feel you've been wronged, an apology is not going to fix it. Make a statement, dont give them your money if you really feel wronged by a company. Thats really the only thing you can do to avoid having "bad service" again.
I see "train your employees better" or "give customer service classes". Do you think a company like the company that owns taco bell actually cares about the customer experience? as long as fools keep coming back again and again they are not going to change policy. You say you were wronged by taco bell and arent satisfied with their practices, yet you keep going back?

They probably aren't impressed with you either.
I think you should be in class yourself.

I think it'll be okay. Soda pop comes right out of appolstry. Now, if you had upholstery in your car, you'd be SOL. Whew. Thank goodness for that pop-friendly alternative appolstry.
