For the umpteen millionth time, please please please do not use red/green for the scale, it is very difficult for colorblind people to distinguish, which is ~5% of the male population. Look at Colorbrewer for some alternative suggestions: https://colorbrewer2.org/
Not sure why almost all of Tennessee is unavailable, but I can say that their prices here have risen astronomically. Our Taco Bell used to have a line around the building pretty consistently, now it’s essentially empty all the time.
I have wondered how true this is: 1) Covid caused a huge reduction in business. 2) Businesses charged more per person to sustain themselves. 3) Post-Covid people are buying less due to the higher prices so its sticky. My local Qdoba is so expensive I won't eat there any more, but a few people do. What would happen if they dropped prices significantly and advertised that to bring people back? I don't know... There are…

Why does Taco Bell have an app? What is its purpose?
U.S. labor is expensive, and the app delegates the order-taking job from an employee to the customer, keeping food prices more competitive and/or keeping the restaurant profitable. (Land cost is the other big expense.)

Many of their stores don't have cashier's. You have to use a kiosk or the app.

We have long had access to unlimited recipes and YouTube videos showing how to cook quick, easy, tasty meals. And we have online shopping. A small minority of Americans live so remote (either in blighted urban or rural areas) that they don’t have a choice in cooking.
Yes because while traveling from one jobsite to the next everyone has a full kitchen available to them.

Do operating system accessibility controls help you distinguish the colors? For example, both Windows 10/11 and MacOS have "color filters". https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/ windows/use-color-filters-in-windows-43893e44 b8b3-2e27-1a29-b0c15ef0e5ce https://support.apple.com/ guide/mac-help/change-display-colors-easier-onscreen mchl11ddd4b3/mac
For me close colors on a red / green scale are difficult to differentiate. If I enable accessibility features, it will make every photo look incorrect. iOS has an excellent option to adjust the degree of color filter. Mine is set to tritanopia (blue/yellow) the only about 5 percent intensity to give me a good balance.
They are missing the Seattle Lower Queen Anne Taco Bell/KFC combo store that is known to be the most expensive Taco Bell in the nation. https://locations.tacobell.com/wa/seattle/210-w--mercer-st-.... Anyways, you hear horror pricing stories about this one store.

Taco Bell had felt pretty expensive for many years now. But there is just no alternative so I’m not too surprised they were able to pull it off.
There are a ton of alternatives to Taco Bell, “good, inexpensive tacos” are a whole thing, taco trucks, etc. Unless you are specifically looking for drain-o for your digestive system.
I've had plenty of other tacos elsewhere and they are all tasty, but something about TB's meat is super unique and tasty to me I can't get enough of it. Mind you I can't stand all the new menu items they added past tacos in the last 30 years. But the tacos are special. :-)
