After a TikToker received her order at a local Taco Bell, and old woman who was also present wasn’t afraid to share her opinion on their order. 

TikToker Jules went viral, after she ordered two helpings of Taco Bell’s cheesy fiesta potatoes. She waited patiently in the queue, before they called her name to pick up the order. 

“They call my name at the counter, I get the to-go order, and I take everything out to make sure it’s in there, because my Taco Bell is pretty good at messing up orders… I take out my burrito and I take out my two fiesta potatoes, and I’m like, ‘Perfect, everything’s here.’”

However, an “old woman,” was watching Jules pick up her order, and proceeded to tap her on the shoulder. 

“I turn around, and she goes, ‘Don’t you just love it when they accidentally give you two of something when you only ordered one?… So I have no idea what to say, but I’m like, ‘Oh, I actually ordered two on purpose.’ She looks me up and down and she goes, ‘Probably shouldn’t have.’”

She was completely baffled by the interaction, stating: “Because if you’re at Taco Bell, guess what? You’re eating Taco Bell, too. So it’s not like you’re a health queen, granny.”

After the video was posted on the platform, people were shocked by the interaction. 

“No one eating at Taco Bell deserves the right to judge another’s order at Taco Bell. That is the unspoken Taco Bell creed,” one wrote, defending Jules. 

“The Fiesta potatoes are so bomb though and one tiny order is never enough no matter your size,” another stated. 

“Ignore it. you look beautiful. Don’t let one comment ruin you,” one user encouraged. 

Some, it turned out, had had similar experiences, writing: “I’m on the smaller side and while out to eat I had an old woman come up to me when she was done eating just to say that she doesn’t understand how I was able to finish my food.”

A Taco Bell worker went viral in February, after claiming that “they’ve basically scrapped the dollar menu.”
