This weekend I stopped by the local (and new) Taco Bell on 50 in Groveland after a trip to Tractor Supply. I connected to their Wifi to safe a bit of data, and the boards were blocked... Weapons... Oh the humanity!
So I hit the appeal button on their software and it says the site falls into two blocked categories, weapons and weapons sales...
I looked around briefly online and some folks have reported the same thing sparsely across the country. I looked at Taco Bell's site (and Yum brands) and found no pro or anti stance on a corporate level anywhere- they seem rather friendly to the local climate (some places OC allowed, some places no gun signs).
I emailed customer service... Today I got a call from the GM of the store. He was pleasant and started off by letting me know he shoots IDPA. He didn't realize they were blocking it and is waiting for a response back from corporate as to how to get it unblocked for his franchise locations.
Not a huge win, I know, but a bit of real grassroots activism paying off. Raising awareness of being discriminated against is causing real change.
Taco Bell- So far, so good
Same thing happens to me at Walmart on their WiFi. I can’t view this forum. No problem on the WiFi at Publix. GARY.

When I see a thread titled "Taco Bell - So far, so good" I imagined someone was proud they managed to take down a Cheesy Gordita Crunch without shitting their pants in the usual time frame.
I am also interested in their response as well

Better to light a single candle than curse the darkness. Good luck - keep us posted.

Everybody's got a plan until they get hit.
That's what I thought too.NorincoKid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 8:19 pm When I see a thread titled "Taco Bell - So far, so good" I imagined someone was proud they managed to take down a Cheesy Gordita Crunch without shitting their pants in the usual time frame.
"Taco Bell - I've made it half way home and now don't feel so good" story likely wouldn't have been click-baitey enough. We've all been there!
You can always look at porn instead
Every meal at taco Bell is a number 2
