Oakland Taco Bell locations shut down indoor dining (california)
KRON4 ^ | 3-11-24 | Aaron Tolentino, Sara Stinson, Ella Sogomonian

aco Bell customers can no longer dine inside multiple Oakland locations. KRON4 visited two Taco Bell restaurants on Sunday and confirmed the dining rooms at two locations, 3535 35th Ave. and 630 Hegenberger Road, have been shut down.

KRON4 asked one Taco Bell employee in Oakland why the dining room is now closed. “It’s closed because some people sometimes make trouble,” he said.

One customer on foot appears to try and order from the Taco Bell drive-thru. That now seems to be the only way vehicle-less customers can place an order at these locations

I can't quite put my finger on the reason for this.

They will still need to hire a full-time security guard to stand outside the drive-thru window.

Somebody is going call Taco Bell racist because of this decision. That will force Taco Bell to either re-open their indoor dining, or shut down completely.

I’ll bet it will be the latter.

They realized that after covid, they can save a lot of money by shutting down dining rooms. So a lot of more places are opening up drive thru only locations. Chipotle is opening Chipotlanes.

Signs on most fast food drive thrus say “No Service to Pedestrians.”
First two or three brushbacks, bump into or hit hard by a vehicle and lawsuits will sink this walk up drive thru lane plan quickly. Ripe for a phony “Oh, you hit me, oh, I’m gonna sue you. I can’t move my right—uh, I mean my left leg.”
They do it with bump and run in cars why not on foot?

Quite a few fast food places found drive thrus saved money, no dining rooms to clean, no bathrooms to clean, no refills , no extra condiments , no front cash register to man. any business they lost they made up for in less labor and damage costs.

To stay open inside they’d have to have recordings say “You are under camera and audio surveillance and guns are trained on you from the ceiling.” and “Enjoy your meal.”

They’ll hand out tacos through a prison like slot in a steel plated door. The employees should only have contact with those on the outside via video camera. Talk to the taco!

Make it a sallyport where the food is placed into a compartment with openings at both ends - as one opens, the other closes.

Surround the taco compound with bollards 12” apart.

“We got a whole bunch of businesses bouncing because they’re not safe no more,” one longtime Oakland resident said in his car outside the Taco Bell. “It shouldn’t happen… the situation has got to change, period.”

And yet, this poor soul probably votes for trash like Newscum, Pelosi and Biden and will do it again.

At least they are still open in case someone wants to run to the border.

The Taco Bell in the next town hasn’t opened their dining room since the lockdowns. Drive thru only.

OH WAIT. You mean that’s not why in this case?

But what about the sommelier? Are they letting the sommelier go, too?
