Yeah, another check mark in the column for Taco Bell being better.

Oh u/CowboyNealCassady, how you scratch me where I itch! I used to sing the praises of the BLS, but they fucked me in 2006-2007, again in 2010 (resulting in a loss of eight years of wages, though admittedly my case is probably unique/ rare in a unicorn-ish way), and yet again their forecasts from 2017-2018 are yet again proving to be grotesquely, double-digit percentage-points off and I’m just waiting for the inevitable offshoring for a career field with a 26% growth forecast through mid-decade just four years ago. BLS statisticians are either evil, or incompetent, but they all need some serious Lord of the Flies federal severance packages.

For once you make an excellent point, u/GargantuanWitch. Though I think the self-doxxee has the forces of light and justice on their side.

Please please please tell me you will treat us to a gassy, bloated, runny, explosive Big Burrito-fueled rant on this subreddit about this nadir in your career before the weekend is out?

You can’t get a Gobblerito at Taco Bell. Psht.

The pepperoni floating on top is for real in Squirrel Hill.

We live around the corner.

Don’t get slices. Order a whole pizza and they’ll put it on from the beginning. If you get a slice or few just get it as. But also don’t do that. It will have been sitting a lot longer.

From what I understand, you don’t know what you’re talking about

insane to me that this could be considered a dead weight store with how busy it always is

Used to work for another places, in shadyside that just closed in the last 2 weeks. They had about 10 part time employees. The owner only told their best customers and 2 of the employees, but they also contacted old employees, who hadn’t worked for them in a decade, to tell them. The 2 employees they told were not managers or supervisors.

They haven’t posted it on any social media. They just turned off the phones and closed up. One of their employees worked for them for almost 20 years, and they never called her.

I wish I were surprised that business owners can be completely ignorant of how to treat their staff like humans, but sadly I’m not. And I think this trend will continue.

Fuck big Burrito. Worst 24 hours of my career

It is. I worked at a mad Mex (another store) until recently and it was clear the company’s bottom line is struggling. Not confirmed but just things I heard. They’re likely cutting dead weight stores which to be fair, this one in particular is because the shadyside location is far superior.

Nice of them to play the “nobody wants to work anymore” card.

Not surprised. They did the same crap to them when the location temporarily closed. They don’t give a crap about their employees, everyone is replaceable.

It looks like the restaurant industry, Big Burrito included, is going through what a steel plant in my hometown did years ago when the owners shut it down.

They tell the public it's the workers fault. They tell you that they got too greedy or that they can't find people willing to work. What they don't tell you is that the owning interests were still making money, just not as much money as their other interests are or as much money as they used to, and they decide not to make the effort to keep it running because it just doesn't look good on paper. I'm guessing that's the real story.

More like GargantuanBitch am I right

The honest answer no one will give you is “nostalgia.”

Heard they refused to renew their lease, told nobody that worked there.

It looks like you shared some AMP links. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Employers are allowed to ask if you have “reliable transportation” to work. They are NOT allowed to ask what that transportation is UNLESS it is specific to performance of the job, ie a newspaper route or traveling salesman. If you.are asked about transportation, all you need to say is yes, and if they probe further you can remind them of what is legal/ not to ask during an interview, like age, religion, etc.

I applied when I saw they were reopening. Even with management experience and tons of experience all restaurant, they did not move forward but we’re constantly hiring.
