One time the family had absconded from the Fortress of Ineptitude for a trip to western North Carolina. We were in Asheville and the hour was very late and we were very hungry and low in the dark of night glowed a giant red neon hat.
We were thinkin' Arby's.
"We have the MEATS!"
Now let me be clear, we were only thinkin' Arby's because it was very late, we were very hungry and it was right there. It was not on our "must do" list for our visit to Asheville.
We went in and they did have the meats.
Provided that meat was chicken.
We had entered a roast beef-less Arby's.
Well, it was very late.
I was thinking about this excursion when I saw this story yesterday.
A TikTok video showed the following happening to a guy working the drive thru at a Taco Bell.
“Hi, before I take your order I do want to inform you that we are all out of chicken, we are all out of beef, we are all out of nacho cheese, and we can’t make anything Supreme."
Yes, the Taco Bell was out of Taco Bell as one commenter on TikTok put it.
Which leaves sodas, slushies and cheese quesadillas.
Apparently just shutting down the Taco Bell early was not an option. Most of the comments on the video concurred that restaurant management will not close early simply because they are out of stuff, even if it's the main stuff they are known for.
I know of a couple of Bojangles Chicken locations that ran out of chicken but were still open for business.
One person noted in the comments of the TikTok video they worked for a BBQ restaurant that ran out of (you guessed it) BBQ. The manager would not OK a shut down.
Well, maybe they had a lot of peach cobbler to sell.
We salute you, hard working dedicated hapless souls working the late shift at the Taco Bell without Taco Bell, the BBQ deprived BBQ place and the roast beef-less Arby's.
