Anyone who attends the occasional Taco Bell, and most of us would be lying if we claimed otherwise, knows that it’s a sacred, nonjudgmental space. Does he order 12 cheesy beans and rice burritos at 1 a.m.? Keep living your best life!
But one woman apparently missed the memo and was “body shamed” by another customer over her order, according to one TikToker.
Jules (@juliasaysstuff) took to social media to complain while eating one of TB’s fan favorites, cheesy fiesta potatoes, in her car.
“My name is called at the counter, I take my to-go order, I take everything out and make sure it’s there, because my Taco Bell is good at messing up orders,” she said. Masu. “I pull out the burrito, I pull out her two Fiesta potatoes, and I think, ‘Perfect, everything is here.'”
But another customer, whom Jules describes as an “old lady,” was watching her a little too closely at the moment, and tapped her on the shoulder to comment on her fine three-course order.
“I turned around and she said, ‘Wouldn’t you be happy if I accidentally gave you two items when you only ordered one?'” Jules says. “So, I don’t know what to say, but I’m like, ‘Oh, actually, I ordered two on purpose.'” She looked me up and down and said, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have done that.’ Ta. ”
Watching this exchange, Jules is baffled by the idea that some woman would go to such lengths to criticize her about Taco Bell.
“I mean, what if you’re at Taco Bell? You’re also eating Taco Bell. So, Grandma, it’s not like you’re the health queen,” she added.
Her TikTok was filled with viewers sharing their favorite Taco Bell orders. That order usually seems to be much more than two potato sides and a little burrito. If you’re hitting the bell, do not have I am ordering a grab bag for my product, am I doing it correctly?
People were also deeply insulted on Jules’ behalf over this exchange.
“People who eat at Taco Bell have no right to criticize other people’s orders at Taco Bell,” one commenter wrote. “That’s Taco Bell’s unspoken creed.”
“I’ll never understand why people have the audacity to say things like that to people,” another admitted.
Cheese-flavored fiesta potatoes are smallOne user said, “I get about 5 fries at most,” while another said, “One small order is never enough, no matter the size.”
“I would have ordered four if I could,” Jules admitted.

Bottom line: If you’re going to go to Taco Bell and feel weird about other people eating Taco Bell, you don’t deserve a bite of Baja Blast, let alone a taco. If you can’t keep the commentary to yourself, try the drive-thru next time.
