Good thing he wasn't licking pants.

I heard licking tacos causes throat cancer, I think Michael Douglas said so, not sure

So, why would someone choose crappy pseudo Mexican food when there are better and more authentic choices?

Weird, then again, Americans eat at McDonald's when they are in France and Mexico

That's like an Olive Garden opening up in Little Italy or a Panda Express in Chinatown

Too true. There's one or two taco bells North of the Loop b/c every other block has a taqueria selling "real" gorditas, tacos, and burritos.

Chicago has awesome Mexican food, you won't find a lot of Taco bells in Hispanic neighborhoods

I'm not defending the taco licker he deserved to get fired but something tells me that the Taco Bell work environment unintentionally begets this kind of gross behavior.

It's similar to how Walmart suffers from a lot of internal theft-- it happens because Walmart management treats their employees like petty criminals to begin with.

OMG!

I'm going to assume your post is a joke.

If you want to be treated decently at a job, then work for yourself. You do your job, you get paid. You want to be coddled, go home to mommy.

Some of these babies should go through basic training, it thickens your skin.
