Even since the pandemic began, many people stopped eating inside fast-food restaurants. They figured what’s the point when you can just go through the drive-thru lane to get your favorite food items? You can order what you want, pay for it, have it handed to you, and eat it way too quickly like some kind of giant, hairless squirrel in the front seat of your car. The only problem? Everyone else had the same idea as them and now the drive-thru line is worse than the line at the DMV. But this isn’t the case at the newest, innovative Taco Bell location and we couldn’t be happier.
The new venue referred to as “Taco Bell Defy” opened this week in a Minneapolis suburb. It doesn’t even have a dining room and the kitchen is elevated above the drive-thru. Also, instead of one or two, it has four drive-thru lanes. The lanes each have a different designation. One is for delivery drivers, one is for Taco Bell app users, and the others are for traditional orders. Each has advanced two-way audio and video to guarantee no miscommunications result in the wrong order.
The goal is to reduce the amount of time between your order and the moment you devour that spicy, Mexican fast food. The hope is that from start to finish, your time spent will be shorter than two minutes. That means you’ll get to feel the inevitable fast-food regret that comes from eating at Taco Bell even faster. (They don’t say “make a run for the border” for nothin’.)
While we assume most of you don’t live near Minneapolis, our hope is that this restaurant does so well the brand decides to expand to different areas (fingers crossed). We’re definitely tired of waiting in long drive-thru lines to get our Crunchwrap Supreme fix.
