Imagine being the one who has “take out the trash” on your closing side work. “You have a canoe boss, or am I just gonna leave this here?”

I'll be honest, i saw Taco Bell and avoid disaster and my mind went somewhere else.

This time the poop in their pants weren't directly caused by taco bell
RuricOrhlandis
An actual case of dumpster diving.

These were the best of times.

That was a really bad time for the area. There were so many roads out and power outages for the longest time. I think there are still some lingering repairs that need to be done on some roads.

I thought the disaster in the title was going to be them ordering from taco bell.

So apparently Taco bell drive thrus have better security cameras than most banks and convenience stores.

"can you make that a bean a cheese?"

"Hello and welcome to Taco... Fucking Hell!"
Renuvian
"Yall still open?"

And this is why you don't build downstream of the taco bell bathroom.

Someone had a really bad shit at taco bell

Just when you thought Taco Bell ran out of ways to make you shit yourself!

Dumpsters said they've seen enough and decoded to bounce

they were lucky, we had a woman in a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) drive-thru get her car washed away and she drowned in flooding of February 2022 in Brisbane, Australia

This must be in one of those Shithole 3rd world countries where all their civic budgets go to bribes and bungs instead of on the actual infrastructure...

Correct, happened in the USA

You joke but that's literally how Taco Bell customers are. While I was working there, we got hit with some pretty intense tornado weather. Wind flung all the doors open, it was pouring rain so hard the street was starting to flood, all our big ad signs outside blew away, then we got hit with hail. If you opened the drive through window the rain would reach a good 5 or 6 feet into the store, it was nuts. That didn't stop people. The opposite, really, because we had a rush about half an hour in

That's tim hortons here in Canada. We had 8 feet of snow last night: "I'll take a double-double and a Boston cream. It's gonna be a long day of shoveling."
hurveyuos
Bruh that's how customers in general are
5amNonsense
You're not wrong, really. I just meant that in my experience with various sorts of customer service work, fast food customers were more insane on average than the clientele at any retail job I've had. But to be fair, I haven't worked at walmart
EquanimousSerenity
no, you got a point

This was the "Father's Day Flood" in Houghton, Michigan in 2018. We had unprecedented amounts of rain (some calculations estimated 1-inch of rain per minute for several minutes) the night before causing massive flooding, mass wasting and erosion. There was one death associated with the storm and wide spread damage throughout the Keweenaw.
Baconlovesyoutoo
An inch of rain over an acre of land is about 28K gallons of water.

As the OP I live up the road from where this happened. The insanity we all woke up to that day..
earthjerk
I was living in Hancock on that day. Insanity is a good way to describe it the devastation
laserite
One inch per minute? I didn't even know that was possible. Jesus.

Huron Creek, seen in this video, runs past the Taco Bell and under Sharon Ave. The creek was swollen at bank full stage and flowing rapidly causing under cutting and bank erosion. Taco Bell lost most of its parking lot and their sigh even fell into the creek. Sharon Ave not seen but a few meters off camera was also washed out.
Trimule
Thank you!

Having gone through the "unprecedented " Lismore floods in Australia, this is no longer unprecedented. Once in 100 year flood in 2017 was 30 feet. 2022 was 50 feet. We're gonna see a lot more 'unprecedented ' flooding.....
macgerdo
I don't trust US architecture. They build houses out of sheets and glue in a swamp and tornados, wildfire and sinkholes have a head to head race for who is going to destroy it.
earthjerk
I agree. Global climate change is going to bring extremes meteorological events that exceed historical records in many places. My use of the term "unprecedented" was relative to this location in northern Michigan, not in a global context nor Australia. Your response seemed a little annoyed by that, so I wanted to clarify.
anoldiebutagoodie
Oh, sorry. Not annoyed at all. This is our future..... never ending unprecedented natural disasters.
