Everything is cheaper and made of thinner materials. But I can't tell if it tastes worse because it's of lesser quality or because of the covid I had.

Ngl think it's this too, read somewhere that dyes used in commercial products were strained so some products started literally looking thinned out. Personally I saw it in our lab gloves, the blue dye was looking....not uniform. Everywhere there is probably some strain on production and people being stressed tf out.
What do you expect from a place like Taco Bell? You are enabling their behavior by giving them money.

Yep! If everyone keeps buying shitty pastries that come from plastic bags at Starbucks then they're going to keep making them. Enjoy.
bruh they just didn't have napkins, the employees probably just didn't give a shit
I mean things are getting shittier but you're complaining about napkins?

because people swallow. stop going to that taco bell or taco bell in general. likewise for other things.
You are all foolish and thought global suicide was NOT their primary objectives. Corporations, Wealth, Religion, etc. etc. are all thing you would call bullshit but the God of the Dead is sick of your shit.
The napkins thing is a thing at McD near me.
You have to stand there and wait for about five minutes to flag down a member of staff (they’re all in the back now due to the self serve kiosks). The same for sauces. Which to me says that my time is meaningless to them. They don’t trust us to not take too many but they’re also too lazy to put some in every customers bag.
I will no longer eat there due to this and the crazy prices for the same mediocre food.
Fucking ghouls. Yet we have debates at work all the time and I’m seen as some weirdo for not wanting to be fleeced by every company on the planet.
Be like me and steal what you can from these companies. Commit delivery fraud (item never arrived when it did). Raise chargebacks etc. take what you can as that’s what they’re doing. Just don’t do it to sole businesses.

because it is not designed to be good but just to make money
I think it's less that we're expected to sympathize, and more just that they've realized enough people will tolerate it. With OP's example, Taco Bell has clearly decided that whatever business they may lose due to people deciding to not go to Taco Bell anymore because of the lack of napkins will be less than whatever they save by not stocking napkins anymore.
And they're right.
Don't get me wrong, it's a shitty thing to do, but between people in general not realizing that this place doesn't even have napkins anymore, and people deciding they still want semi-delicious garbage tacos anyway, they're really not going to see a big dip in revenue. They've simply realized that they really can just make their presented experience a little shittier just to save some money.
