that prioritizes app and mobile pickup via drive thru lanes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And just like that, we\u2019re one step closer to entering the world of <em>Demolition Man<\/em>.\u00a0 The world is already full of pussies, the police are pretty ineffective at their jobs, and although not contained to one singular Simon Phoenix, there are insane sociopaths that run rampant who never seem to be brought to justice.\u00a0 It only seems fitting that the time has come for Taco Bell to execute a preemptive strike at fulfilling their destiny of surviving the franchise wars, thus making all restaurants in the world, Taco Bell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I eat way more fast food than I care to admit.\u00a0 My excuse is that it really can\u2019t be helped, because I\u2019m still very much in daily survival mode with my two kid girls running rampant in my life, and by the time they\u2019re fed, bathed and in bed, it\u2019s already getting late, I\u2019m hangry, and I just want something fast and delicious, regardless of the health detriment fast food is known to be.\u00a0 All the same, I know what I like, and I would say that I know my way around the players in the franchise wars pretty decently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I love Bojangles, I think Chick Fil-A\u2019s app is the gold standard, and Zaxby\u2019s is always a good way to break up the monotony.\u00a0 Freddy\u2019s has entered the market around here, and I hear that a Whataburger has opened up near Kennesaw State University, which isn\u2019t an unreasonable drive if I actually had the time and patience to go there.\u00a0 Wendy\u2019s and Taco Bell are also welcome options, but with more of a gambler\u2019s mentality, because you just don\u2019t know when one of them will light a stick of dynamite in your digestive system, as satisfyingly delicious they reliably are.\u00a0 I have no qualms with McDonald\u2019s, and for whatever reason, Burger King doesn\u2019t seem to do to well in the Atlanta market, but I\u2019d consider them if there were one within a reasonable distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The thing is, at this current juncture of my life, and well fuck, at any juncture of my life, I tend to favor convenience and ease of getting my food, and hoping it\u2019s accurate, above all else.\u00a0 I know there are many who don\u2019t like Chick Fil-A because of the original owning family\u2019s religious anti-gay believing, but goddamn is their app good, and their restaurants loaded with hard-working brainwashed teenagers who get shit done fast, well, and like efficient machines.\u00a0 So I go there above all else, because they\u2019re reliable to get shit fast and consistent.\u00a0 Bojangles and Wendy\u2019s are like playing craps, because there\u2019s like a 1\/3 chance that the drive-thru line will be not be shitty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But if this two-story Taco Bell in Minnesota goes gangbusters and inspires all Taco Bells around the country to adopt, that would be a game changer in like two seconds.\u00a0 As efficient as all the Chick Fil-As are, their Achilles is usually the limitations of the sizes of their lots, and there are often times more cars hogging up space there than can be handled, so even if some of them have adopted app-only lines, if cars can\u2019t get to them, they\u2019re not really any better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It looks like Taco Bell <em>Defy\u2019s<\/em> saving grace is the fact that the mobile-only lines have independent entrances, and the most intriguing things are the way that the restaurant is literally built above the pickup area, so people are basically getting their food from a teller tube.\u00a0 It does sound a little outlandish, but you know it has the capability of working miracles, and this is why that a Defy store is being tested in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What I\u2019m really getting to is the fact that if Taco Bell Defy restaurants start popping up in other places, I have no doubt in my mind that they would rise up in my rankings if they were anywhere convenient.\u00a0 As much of a luddite I can be sometimes, if there\u2019s one thing about modern technology that I do love, it\u2019s mobile food ordering, and I very much favor those companies that adopt it in well-functioning, logical and efficient manners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m really rooting for this Defy, to defy the odds of surviving in the food industry, to where this can be somewhat of a standard throughout the world.\u00a0 It would definitely inspire me to go to Taco Bell more, as long as they didn\u2019t liquify my insides with their squirrel meat too frequently.\u00a0 And then it would force other competitors to start trying to compete and copy, and hopefully we can embark in a world where more fast food joints are two stories and have mobile-priority lines for us gluttons who need our shit quick and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Impetus: Taco Bell opens a state-of-the-art, two story Taco Bell restaurant in Minnesota that prioritizes app and mobile
