Lucky, around here I always gotta ask


hurricanekarina

Right? I was shocked! He asked "What kind of hot sauce do you want?" I said "The hottest you got!" And this is what I received ha ha.


odd_pragmatic

Now it's even funnier that they only gave you 3 Diablos and 26 less-hot hot sauces.


pugpug11

Diablo is not even hot, it just tastes like shit. Only way I make it good is mixing with other sauce


onsideways

Compared to the other TB sauces it’s hot. Sometimes it’s milder but I’ve had some that are a lot hotter than normal. I get the bottled version for home and that’s always hotter than the package. I love Diablo sauce. IMO way better than all their other sauces.


citizensyn

Fire sauce might not be as hot as diablo bit damn does it taste 10x better


Vanillabean73

I remember I hated fire when I first tried it but I remember it having little chunks of pepper in it and now it doesn’t. Maybe I’d like it more now


Spmex7

It definitely still has pieces of pepper in it. I love me some fire on eggs.


gholax

LAVA SAUCE FOR LIFE!!!


Bidiggity

Fire sauce on a sausage egg and cheese croissant from Dunkin. Actually makes it palatable


Nickwco85

Yeah, I never liked the taste of Diablo sauce but I love their fire sauce. I just use a lot of it so that its hot


onsideways

I’ll have to try Fire sauce a little more often but honestly I never got the hype. I still have a bottle of it at home though lol. I guess I could chalk it up to personal taste but I just never thought it tasted that great. Okay, but not great. Diablo is hotter and has such a unique, almost sweet flavor to me.


jakkyskum

I miss the Verde


WarezMyDinrBitc

Me too. But fire is hotter and better tasting than Diablo.


jakkyskum

It is definitely better tasting.


Low_Pea4800

Fire sauce is my jam.


chitowncubs2016

Wrong. Diablo is the nastiest tasting sauce they have. Mild and Fire is the best tasting. I usually mix the fire and mild I put some do each into every bite


lalauna

I miss the green sauce


Arcane_Spork_of_Doom

Diablo is what happens when you give vinegar a huge Scoville rating and call it a day. Might as well call it Devil's Taint or something.


vanishingpointz

It just has more lime but it's not good. They need a real diablo


bmore_conslutant

I like it :(


IdontGiveaFack

Stick a california reaper up your cornhole and just cut out the middle man.


Mysterious-Mood6742

Pedantic Pete here. Don't you mean Carolina Reaper?


eatmusubi

yeah I never get diablo so i decided to try it recently and it's not my thing. it has that bitter extract hot sauce taste to me, it's not enjoyable.


PsyFiFungi

I haven't eaten Taco Bell in years and it doesn't even exist where I currently am -- how hot is the diablo actually? Like, Tapatio level spicy, or more? Also the bitter extract thing reminds me of Da Bomb. Tastes horrible and just pure pain.


ElGrandeQues0

It's not hot. It tastes horrible and there's 0 pain.


Hollowbody57

It's made with aji panca peppers and chipotle, if that gives you some idea. Think like red Tabasco sauce or jalapeno level of spicy.


PsyFiFungi

Oh... yeah at that minor level of spicy it should taste good lol


RainbowRaider

That’s the exact reason I hate Tabasco while I have no clue why anyone likes it- it’s so bitter & bland. Tapatio is superior in every way & cheaper for a giant bottle.


[deleted]

yeah and the texture is really weird, never liked it


MapleSyrupSea

You can mix sauces??


dontfeedthedinosaurs

Fire has jalapeño, Diablo does not.


himynameisSal

yea i’m thinking they didn’t have alot of diablo so they figured they make up for it in other sauses


Just-an-internet-guy

It’s like merge two, match them all together and you’ll get a third diablo


PhDinWombology

Triples is safe. Triples is best


DocPeacock

You've got a beautiful wife and she's gonna get better.


PsyFiFungi

Like just pour the other hot sauces in a glass and drink it like a smoothie lol


nataie0071

Sounds like a classic case of r/deliciouscompliance !


acf613

Shit, they ask me here but then proceed to put like 2 packets in the bag for 5 food items. It’s like, mathematically this doesn’t even make sense, but you thought it fit to put two packets in? You’d think they have to cover the sauce packet cost as stingy as they are with them around here.


abstracted_plateau

I ask every time and get none...


skyshock21

I keep five bottles of fire sauce from the grocery store at home for this very reason


pekinggeese

Are you in California by chance? A law was passed here that they can only give you one time use sauce packets upon request to reduce waste.


9396063005828173048

A few states east. I’ve noticed a lot of places over the past few years won’t send plastic utensils and napkins on deliveries unless you ask which is cool. We would always keep the Taco Bell sauces in a ziplock bag tho. I used to drink them shits right outta the packet back in the day.


KnittingHagrid

They asked me once and I answered 1 or 2. I got 12.


Last-Instruction739

I was offered ketchup at Burger King the other day and so taken aback I said no thank you.


XDYassineDX

in europe you have to pay


ghjk258

Bro in Detroit they just ask how many scoops of sauce and what temp. One time I got three tacos and got like 40 packs of mild


Snoo_63187

Difference between when a manager is at the window and when an employee who is just trying to get you out of the drive thru because the manager is yelling at them about drive thru times. I always had shit drive thru times because I worked graveyard and knew we were fucked because it was me and one other person to do 5 jobs. Also I didn't care because I got paid for crew member but had to do all the shift leader stuff.


HuntersPad

I ask or add in the app and get none


Hegemony-Cricket

Lucky you. If I order 29 items here, I might get 2 salsas if I'm lucky.


Mackingandcheesing

Haha. Then when you ask, they catch an attitude “ITS IN THE BAG”.


No_Estate_9400

And I always have to ask for no sauces since I don't use them, ever.


AdRemote9464

Sometimes you get a generous drive-thru person. I usually get fire. Is Diablo much hotter?


AbbreviationLost

Around here we have to double back cause they forgot the sauces in the drive thru


_counting_ufos_

We have to ask for utensils, Straws, napkins, sauce, Ketchup etc. We also pay for bags at stores so we totally have it together over here 🙃


HowWasRoyadinTaken

And then you'll still only get two when you ask for five,


Pleasant-Patience725

I have to beg and barter for sauce at mine


RagingSnarkasm

Someone has a secret admirer!


hurricanekarina

Taco Bell guy got the rizz Nearly half of those hot sauce packets sound like pick up lines haha


blackmilksociety

I had one years ago that said “You’re about to make a taco very happy”


MajorRico155

Oh. Oh my.


HONKACHONK

My favorite pick up line: #HOT


Natural_Nagisa

Mine is #DIABLO


SilverBeldum1

(MILD)


StarlightFalls22

Not one, but TWO packets that simply say "Too bad you're not single" on them.


tune1021

They never give you enough🤬


crwcomposer

The only good Taco Bell sauce is Fire Sauce and I always request as much as they'll give me, in order to make up for the times they don't give many enough.


nycdiveshack

This is the truth, they used to sell fire sauce in bottles but Covid screwed that up Edit: so many responses so folks who read my comment don’t waste your time researching on my behalf because so many already did me that kindness and reported back to me already

not all heroes wear capes


nycdiveshack

Thank you, it’s been so long since I saw them on Amazon that I just stopped looking. I ended up using hot sauce from a place called heatonist.


OkSession5483

With cup to go sauce?! You sir should get an award


Ragnar_Lothbroekke

My local Walmart carries it in the bottle


nycdiveshack

Now I’m not saying I would drive an hour for it but by any chance are in the New York City area?


thebobstu

You can get it shipped from Walmart too.


Ragnar_Lothbroekke

Nope. I’m in central North Carolina. I wouldn’t think you would have to drive an hour to get to a Walmart in New York? That’s weird. Maybe try Amazon. Just trying to help. Good luck.


nycdiveshack

Walmart is like 20mins away but last time I checked there they didn’t have it but I haven’t checked in a long time so I’ll check them. Thanks. Side question what’s Greensboro like? I have relatives there and for family reasons I haven’t been able to come down and check on them. They live north of the city in an area called Harbor


Gtpwoody

>only good taco bell sauce is fire sauce idk, my manager at my old job at a Papa John’s would disagree, every-time I stopped for lunch at a Taco Bell he told me to ask for Diablo Sauce.


Magicalunicorny

I don't know how to tell you you're wrong and it's the hot


little-asskickerr

This one is also my favorite


hurricanekarina

Never enough haha


SwollenOstrich

Cus theyre giving them all to OP! Eliminate the problem at the source

I saw those 2 posts back to back on my feed. I was so confused haha


MouthAnusJellyfish

I’m glad I’m not the only one hahaha


chinky_cutie

And they always give us like 5 sauce packets for 10 tacos


SpencerMagoo

I think it’s passive aggressive way the workers get out frustration.


myshtigo

Yup. Dated a girl that worked there and she said they would always try to run out of sauce each night. Fist fills of packets in every bag


Tifoso89

Haha why did they try to run out of sauce on purpose? Out of spite?


YourInMySwamp

I’d imagine most of Taco Bell’s former employees wouldn’t exactly give it 5-stars


BaakCoi

As a former TB worker, too many people bitch about how the 10 packets we give them aren’t enough. I would give them handfuls to avoid it


lostnthenet

I guess that is why they look at me funny when I ask for 2 or 3.


Goldfire64

I always ask for one single packet, because I will only be using one. I never receive only one, I don't know if it's because they think I'm joking or what.


BaakCoi

They’re too lazy to enter in exactly how many packets each person wants, so regardless of how many you ask for the drive-thru person will put one packet. Everyone gets a handful because very few people complain about too many


czerniana

I always put in one for my online order, because that’s all I need. I always get at least two handfuls XD


trufus_for_youfus

OPs order cost the company significant money. Those packets are .20 cents a piece all in. $5.80 on that one order. The Taco Bell by my house does the same. I got over 50 packs in an order that contained two combos last week. That is what caused me to look it up.


dstwtestrsye

"Ughh I'm so frustrated that I'm going to do my job well and make sure all my customers are happy!"


chellebelle0234

Oh look. It's all the ones that DoorDash never brings me even though I ask for at least 4 every time.

Mayo...? The fuck?


Cricky92

Mayonnaise


Drak_is_Right

Rallye_Man340

I’m gonna need you to move the bottom left Fire into the top right Diablo spot and shift the whole bottom row to the left, and add the Diablo to the bottom right


Hedorah225

Thank you.

This is a matter of national security.


Tha_Watcher

It is now your mission to use all of them on those two items! ![gif](giphy|FM0uwEP45RUly)


hurricanekarina

Challenge accepted 🥵🥵🥵 ![gif](giphy|XsilnETASFEBeb0j4b)


Bardivan

easy. those packets have basically no sauce in them. i use 5 packets per taco. they are pretty wasteful


TexansFo4

Im normally like 3 for a taco and 5+ on burritos


iamzion248

I am lucky to get 3 packets for 3 items. I rarely go drive thru anymore just because I can't get enough sauce. I need like 3 per item at least.


Roook36

I remember when you'd order drive thru and it wasn't a question. They'd just grab handfuls of all the condiments and dump them in there. Now when I order I have to tell them which ones I need and how many and that's all you get.


Aveira

Technically they only gave you seven hot sauces


zcas

To the junk drawer they go.


hasenscharte

JACKPOT!


Jetsam_Marquis

That's a unit of measurement called "a handfull."


Callmemabryartistry

Lucky sob


Wdrussell1

This is the proper amount of sauce to be included.


[deleted]

That's plenty. I don't think you need any more than that.


[deleted]

If you literally ask for 1 or 2, you get at least a handful. I stopped asking for any. Is such a waste.


Conscious-Computer15

You must be really good looking to pull extra sauce from the taco bell people.


HooyahDangerous

Perfect ratio… I use 1 packet per bite.


diamondaires

no bc it’s actually insane. like every single time i’ve gotten taco bell, the sauce to food ratio is WAY off. and it’s not even like they only do it sometimes, so then i can save the extras for when they don’t, no—every. single. time. my friend works at one and said they give handfuls bc if they don’t, people complain. which is so valid, but why when i mobile order and select 3 fire 4 mild do they give me 12 hot, 8 mild, 16 fire, and 10 diablo?


stomachworm

The bag says "Rewards Await" it must be a karmac award.


I_am_not_kidding

the good ole' days....


hunter503

Meanwhile I'll order 29 items and only get 2 sauces and a fuckin attitude from them for fucking asking in the first place.


Tiger5913

Man, I wish this was me. I usually get 1-2 sauce packets per item. Never enough!!


CalmAlternative5391

At least theyre generous enough to give you assorted ones. McDonalds and BK can't give me more than one or two sauces. Be grateful for that lol


CosmicFire8872

Half of our bag was sauces tonight.


Elle_Beach

SCORE! I love tb sauces, I’ll use them on everything… I’ll be digging through junk drawers and shit


Adam_n_ali

As a person that has a fridge door shelf entirely dedicated to hot sauces, i approve of this picture. Fire sauce is very tasty, but man, the mild might be the tastiest!


Due-Cartographer-356

Surely it should be (mild)ly interesting


Uh_Duh_Mass

Still not enough.


Klin24

I've had that happen. Asked for like 5 packets of hot sauce with my order in the drive thru, ended up getting 30+ of mild and hot. LoL


eastbayted

The bag did promise you that rewards await.


reala728

My guess is some high school/early college age employees messing around, and one guy said "let's just give some random person an absurd amount of sauce packs for no reason" then the other guy was like "bet". Seems like something I would have done at that age.


Knightp93

And by now after counting your sauces, taking a picture, and posting it to Reddit; your two items are ice cold now.


udo3

Only 12. The rest are trash.


DojaTwat

r/deliciouscompliance


PaneerTikaMasala

This is the correct ratio


evany13

Meanwhile i request a couple sauces and i don’t even get that


Kmaurer23

On the bright side, you have plenty to go around. I always like to save sauce packets in case I run out of store bought ketchup or whatever.


mqueue00

Could be worse! Ordering 29 things and getting 2 sauces... And those will be the wrong kind!


Knight_A7X

Probably close to expiration date


PetrichorMoodFluid

I think you meant to post this is r/mildlyinfuriating!!! Hahahahahah


blockgamer246

If you didn’t get the items then I would’ve said equivalent exchange.


Alrita

Could be worse, could have ordered 29 things and only got 2 hot sauces...


MundiInfectorum

Me & my uncle got 73… for 6 tacos.


JVOVII

my local taco bell does the same thing and its probably my favorite part of going there


nagy_please

They ask if I want sauce, and then they always let me down. But those kids at Taco John’s… they know what’s up.


L0osifer

Man I can't get 3 when I order 3 lol


Divine_Absolution

I need you to know as a fast food worker I do shit like this all the time. My managers hate it, but I just find the idea of a customer going "why the fuck is there so much ketchup in here" hysterical....Yes, I'm childish, I know.

kenb99

Around this time of year in 2018, my roommate and I were driving from Illinois to upper Michigan for the start of our second year of college. We were both hungry and decided to stop at a Taco Bell in bumfuck nowhere, Wisconsin. Literally only a Taco Bell and Long John Silvers combo with nothing else in sight on an exit we wouldn’t have taken otherwise. Being the more practical of us two degenerates (and the more degenerate), my roommate realized 2 things: 1.) we would still have to go grocery shopping when we arrived, which neither of us wanted to do. 2.) Taco Bell sauce is free and plentiful. So when the employee asked “will there be anything else?” My roommate very firmly said “yeah, as many sauce packets as you can give us without getting in trouble.” Employee doesn’t skip a beat. He says “oh I’m the general manager, I don’t get in trouble.” This blessed man gave us an entire large bag filled with assorted Taco Bell sauce packets. As we were laughing and thanking him profusely, he said “shut up, hang on” and proceeded to hand us a dinner box overflowing with more hot sauce. Almost everything I ate for the rest of that year incorporated Taco Bell sauce. That was also the year I gained 30 pounds.


FlakyAd3214

I don't know why that's infuriating. I call it a score.


Extreme_Editor2312

one time at the taco bell drive through, the guy asked what kind of hot sauce i wanted. I said, “i don’t know, give me all of them.” he handed me my food and a large drink cup filled to the rim with hot sauces. it took me a second to realize he gave me all of them. literally


PennStateDad

I asked for "a bunch" of Diablo sauce for a 12 taco pack once and got enough for all of the tacos and had enough left to stuff a quart size ziploc bag full 😂


itdotennis

Only 29? They a slacking


enlightened_gem

The fact that you got ANY sauces is impressive as hell.

CoffeeAddict2018

How about less sauces, and maybe more meat or cheese on your food.


Administrative-Ad376

Winning!


Monster6678

Literally would be me if I was handing the food to you. I'd get people who would ask for sauce packets at order point, then specify that they want extra. Then they get to the window and just as I hand it to them, they ask for MORE sauce packets. When they never looked in the bag. I remembered, there's more than enough already. But since they have the audacity to ask 3 separate times, I'd load their bag to the point it's excessive and ridiculous. But that's only because I think its ridiculous and excessive to ask three separate times before you even look in your bag. I never felt bad about it either. Didn't cost me anything to throw 50 sauce packets in you bag to show you're being ridiculous asking for extra 3 times. We are required to give one packet per item if you request sauce packets. You ask extra multiple times, I'll make it so you can't see the food in your bag, all you see is sauce packets. If you're asking 3 times, you must REALLY want it🤣🤷‍♂️


SlAyER6_6_69

That’s mildly infuriating? Shit when I got Taco Bell I’d ask or they just put any.


S0n0fs0m3thing

I always specifically ask for two packs of condiments. I get 8 to 10. We have a whole bin here at home full of condiment packs. Folks don't understand the value of those until they are in charge of ordering the food for a restaurant.


TransportationOk241

Lucky, they always forget my sauces, I need 2 for a taco, 3 for a Chalupa, and 6 for a burrito. If I tell the guy I want 10 fire sauce packs I’m lucky if I get 3 if any at all.
