Earlier this evening, as I was passing by Taco Bell, I heard the nachos calling out. They do that sometimes. I went to answer them in the drive-thru and after I "please drive around"-ed", I was behind another car at the window and I saw the guy try to give that car my nachos instead of their order. When I got to the window, I was greeted by a very er, um, "festive" young man:
Me (jokingly): "I saw you try to give away my nachos!"
Festive Guy: "Ooh girl, wasn't that naughty of me?"
I just kind of agreed because, well, I didn't know what to say.
Festive Guy: "You know what these need, honey?"
Me (anticipating the conversation taking a sharp dive): "No, sweetie, I don't. What do they need?"
Festive Guy: "A spork. You simply must have a spork."
Me: "OK, I can see where that would benefit the whole nachos experience."
Festive Guy: "The spork, it's da bomb!"

What is a spork??? ; )
Hey, I had taco bell nachos for dinner too! But no spork. And no festive guy. Man....I feel cheated.
I am often called by a taco supreme. In all honesty it's usually 3 tacos supreme, but anyway... I've noticed that no matter where I go, the Taco Bell employees are nice- friendly even. Maybe they train them to be festive to go with that new taco salad?
The spork...one of life's secret pleasures. It makes the world go 'round (well, that and the George Foreman grill).
This is too funny. I think the invention of the spork should be part of American history.
Isn't "you simply must have a spork" some kind of pick-up line? Spork-play?
The actual translation is something like, "Yo quiero BusyMom"...*grin*
When we picked up food from KFC recently, I noticed they gave us plastic forks, not sporks! I sure hope they haven't decided to go spork-less after all these years.
I really do think there must have been a conspiracy. I was beckoned by Da' Bell myself yesterday and when I returned to the office it had appeared that the entire office was as well from the site of Taco Bell cups sitting upon folded paper towels on everyone's desks. What would you call that "Think outside the Bun" Day or "Head for the Border" Day?
Kinda makes ya' wonder what's IN those nachos.
-G
I kinda love that festive guy. He's just so happy. hehe
I hate and love when the nachos call me. Sometimes they even call me at home like they know I'm there. It's kinda creepy.
If a spork is "da bomb," I guess Hiroshima is finally safe from us.
Remember that line in the futuristic comedy with Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock?
"Which restaurant shall we go to?"
"In the aftermath of fast-food wars, all restaurants are Taco Bell."
Who says good customer service is dead?
SHAME on him for toying with your nachos like that! You deserved a spork or two!
Ah, the spork! What a wonderful thing. I still remember using my first one and thought what a GREAT thing...lol!
Am I the only spork-hater out here?
I can't stand them...make up your mind... are you a fork or a spoon. Pick a utencil to be and stick with it for crying out loud. I already have too much indecision in my life...Since when did the dish run away with the spork? Really!
I say ban the spork...who's with me????
lmfao too fjunny
Sporks unite us all. It's a beautiful thing.
Count me as a spork-hater. I always reject such offers, though from such a festive person, it would have been hard. I don't even like spoons, much, though, so perhaps I'm biased.
I have never been offered a spork with my nachos! Nor... extra napkins. That would be nice.
Oh, the special thingy they have "to go" now (make hand signal like in commercial HERE)... well, it doesn't "to go" unless that means leaking all over your lap on the highway.
Not "da bomb"
We went to TB after the football game Friday night, so signals were being sent out. I think the only time I use a spork is with an Enchirito (I still like they made them the old way!)
Not a big spork fan, nor do I ever get beckoned by Taco Bell. Now, Tim Horton's Iced Cappuccino, those beckon...boy, do they beckon.
They say sex sells, but sheesh, "Naughty?" I'm surprised he didn't offer you a leather whip with your spork!
P.S. Long live the spork.
I find that a nice interaction with "festive" boys brightens my entire day! Much better than the TP workers around here, who would pretty much spit on you as soon as look at you (or get your order right). Now, the Popeye's workers? Are always cheerful.
