I disagree. A carb wrapped tube of 50% meatlike product and salty, processed cheese sauce, with various other fillings, that you can buy for a dollar, is utterly amazing. I go to taco bell occasionally because $6 gets me an armload of guilty pleasure

I respect that. Is there a better burrito to get than the one that comes in the $5 box, though? I might just not like refried beans as much as everyone else. I like the little breakfast burritos at McDonalds, for reference.

If you don't like re-fried beans, then you might be out of luck, since taco bell commonly uses it as a cheap filler. Maybe the bacon-potato burrito doesn't have it? I think you can ask for the burritos without the beans.

While I like taco bell, I also like Chipotle's barbacoa burritos

Also, when you are only paid $6 after taxes for every hour you work, why should you care? The company doesn't value you enough to care.

Eh, I agree and disagree. It's difficult to care when you're not paid a lot and other similar jobs are dime a dozen, but morally I can't say it's right. And, really, I have a difficult time believing 16/17/18/19 year olds are going to put in a lot of extra effort flipping burgers, even if they're paid $10 or $15 an hour. Kids are kids, I was one too.

Right, but if the company wanted to focus on quality, then it's their fault for hiring kids or otherwise setting wages at a point where only kids can really afford to work there

Total agreement on that point.
