Millennials Can Make $100K Working at Taco Bell

Millennials are now considered “generation broke” with their insurmountable student debts, near-record auto loans, high credit card balances with rates at two-decade highs, and limited savings. Many are stuck in the gig-economy with more than one job. Finding a high-paying job this late in an economic expansion is hard to come across.

So paging all millennials, a new press release via Taco Bell details how the Tex-Mex fast-food restaurant is planning a pilot program to hire managers with a starting salary of $100,000 at company-owned restaurants in select markets. . .

“We are constantly exploring new ways to invest in our people, enhance morale and boost recruitment and retention,” Ferril Onyett, Taco Bell’s senior director of global training and international HR, told MarketWatch in an emailed statement. Managers have “a huge impact” on the restaurant performance, customer experience, and “team member satisfaction,” she added.

Onyett said there’s no timeline on when all 450 company-owned stores will get $100,000 managers, adding that current managers make around $50,000 to $80,000. (Read more from “Millennials Can Make $100K Working at Taco Bell” HERE)

WATCH: The Insane Attack on Man and His Girlfriend That Got 6 Taco Bell Employees Fired

Six Philadelphia-area Taco Bell employees have been terminated after they allegedly attacked a customer and his girlfriend outside the fast-food restaurant for allegedly complaining about their long taco wait time.

“The altercation, which was captured on camera and posted on Twitter, took place Sunday night, Feb. 24, and was apparently sparked after customers were complaining about the long wait times for their meal orders,” reported Fox News.

Bryan Reese, the man who was attacked, posted a video of the brutal incident to Twitter, as well as photos of bloodied clothing, a police report, and his girlfriend’s scratched and cut-up neck. . .

“I was assaulted by a number of [Taco Bell] employees, when I reached out to [Taco Bell] for justice they offered a $20 gift card, they must have thought I said Birthday not Assault,” he captioned the video, which was shot by his friend.

. . .

“I backed out of the store. They continued to follow me. They put me on the ground, and I don’t really remember too much else. Except for when I got up my girlfriend was on the ground being beat, too. She wasn’t even in the store at the time,” Reese told ABC6.

Taco Bell Employee Pays the Price After Refusing to Serve English-Speaking Customer

In a role reversal that somehow hasn’t sparked a whole lot of liberal outrage for whatever reason, a Taco Bell employee in Florida has been fired after refusing to serve an English-speaking customer.

According to the Miami Herald, the employee, who identified herself as “Luisa,” went viral when she refused to serve someone at a drive-through in Hialeah because they didn’t speak Spanish. . .

She added there was no one else available to take the order and she clearly wasn’t going to try to make things work. . .

When Taco Bell corporate was contacted about the story, the tune changed. “Luisa,” Montgomery said, was fired — and that wasn’t even her real name.

“We have worked quickly to resolve with the customer to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” the company said, adding that “this does not meet our customer service expectations.” (Read more from “Taco Bell Employee Pays the Price After Refusing to Serve English-Speaking Customer” HERE)

Taco Bell Employees Not Charged, Store Owner Backs Them Up

By Jennifer Smith. None of the male workers at the fast food restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio, have been named. All were armed when two masked robbers stormed the restaurant at 2.45am on Wednesday to demand cash.

The employees, two of whom are 19 and one is 23, opened fire, shooting one of them in the ribs. The other ran away.

When police arrived at the restaurant, they found the attempted robber unconscious with a loaded gun in his hand. He had been shot six times in total and was later pronounced dead at hospital. . .

So far none of the employees are facing charges. [The franchise owner] said they acted in self-defense and is cooperating with police. . .

Both McDonald’s and Dunkin Donuts take a similar approach, leaving it up to local owners to decide whether customers are able to bring their firearms into restaurants and stores.

In 2013, Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz sparked controversy when he said guns were not welcome in his stores. See more about that story HERE. (Read more from this story about the Taco Bell employees HERE).
