I went to Taco Bell in JFK airport in New York.
It killed any ideas I had that the USA is the land of great customer service.
It was an utter crap-piece and a waste of $3 or whatever it cost. I took one bite and left it. Never been back to a Taco Bell anywhere and never will.

Taco Bell is to Mexican food what McDonalds is to great hamburgers. It's quick, fast, fairly cheap... and about the quality you should expect from those three points. I suppose technically it is food, in that the human body can digest it and extract calories, but nutrition? Good flavor? Not so much.

A follow-up of sorts can be found HERE. The tiny fish seen in the video was not, in fact, the one causing all the trouble. A 1lb perch was caught with the aid of an electric stun-rod a few weeks later. Although the owner of the pond admitted that it was probably herons who had eaten most of his goldfish after all.

Its the sawdust (the McDonalds comparison is giving them way too much credit).
Mind you expecting customer service from a Taco Hell that's also in an airport is just:

Or the fact someone genuinely went there, and wrote a entire article about a man's melted ice cream tub.
