I saw [this](http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/careers-723154-Taco_Bell_Corp) in the Taco Bell drive through window, and later found an online version to share. Is Taco Bell a dance school? Where’s the fuckin’ disco ball? Yeah, if you want to PARTAY all day, Taco Bell is the place. What can I say, it’s a slow day. ---

wow…thats all I can say is wow. some of the worst graphic design and photography ever. Then again, if they used pictures of someone whose soul had been absolutely crushed by managing a Taco Bell then I guess the recruitment poster, while honest, would be ineffective. ---

Taco Bell has some truly horrendous recruitment advertising. That’s not the first one by a long shot. ---

I strongly suspect that after the first time I “put my personality to work,” I would not be afford “plenty” of additional opportunities. ---
