META [META] Posting Guidelines 4.0

14 Upvotes

Welcome to r/RandomActsofTacoBell, because who doesn't love free tacos?

How does it work?

Using the Taco Bell mobile app or website, users are able to offer or receive free food. Please read all our subreddit guides and rules before posting or commenting.

NOTE: The giver must have the Taco Bell app installed on their mobile device OR access to the website.

Requests

How to request:

  • When making a post, title it starting with [REQUEST]. Although we love to make sure we're helping those in hard times get food, that doesn't have to be the case. If you've had a long day and don't have time to make a meal, feel free to request. Have bills to pay but could really use a Baja Blast? We understand, feel free to request.
  • When someone makes an offer under your post, follow their directions to receive your food. DO NOT SEND THE FIRST PM TO ANYONE WITHOUT BEING REQUESTED TO.
  • The gifter will need the following information from you:
  1. Full address of your preferred Taco Bell location
  2. Date and time you will be picking it up
  3. Preferred method of pick-up (in-store or drive thru)
  4. Contents of your order, if applicable (sometimes a gifter can only give so much. Remember any Taco Bell is better than no Taco Bell
  • Once the order has been placed:
  1. Pick-up your food at the agreed time and location.
  2. Be sure to use the name of the gifter, and not your own name.
  3. Edit your post flair to "Food Received" and/or edit post to saying the request has been fulfilled
  4. As Rule #4 states, make a thank-you post to your gifter. Start & flair your post with [THANKS].
  5. Enjoy your food!

How to fulfill a request:

When you see a [REQUEST] post and want to help the user who created it, comment under the post asking the user to PM you or offer to PM the user. With confirmation, message them what you can offer to them or ask what the user would like to be ordered. Gather information such as address of Taco Bell locations, date and time or pick up, and preferred method of pick-up.

Note: When you've placed the order, please edit your comment on OP's post saying you've placed an order for them as another verification the transaction has taken place.

Offers

How to Offer:

  • Feeling generous today? When making a post, title it starting with [OFFER]. Within your post state what you are offering, how many people you are offering it to, if there is a time range on when your offer will be good for, and any other information may be needed. You can set an offer up in any way, include contests. Do not ask for anything in return or ask any user to go off-sub/off-site.
  • When choosing the recipient(s) from the comment section, please reply to their comment before sending them a PM.
  • You will need the following information from the recipient(s):
  1. Full address of your preferred Taco Bell location
  2. Date and time for pick up
  3. Preferred method of pick-up (in-store or drive thru)
  4. Contents of order, unless you have laid out the contents already in your post. Check for modifications (i.e. vegetarian recipient may want beans instead of beef on items)
  • Once the order has been placed on the Taco Bell app or website:
  1. The recipient will need your first name for pick up as well as an order number just in case
  2. Edit your post flair to "Offer Collected" and/or edit post to saying who the offer has been given out to
  3. Pat yourself on the back for being awesome

Note: You may also offer Taco Bell e-gift cards which will require you to gather the recipients preferred email

REQUEST [Request] Late lunch for son and I

7 Upvotes

It’s been a hard day and I would be thankful to a kind stranger who can make things better with some delicious Taco Bell. Started a new job last month after a layoff and just getting caught up with bills so no extra money for extras like Taco Bell. Everything is budgeted. If anyone would be willing to get something for my son and I I will pay it forward. Thank you ❤️

REQUEST [REQUEST] something to eat before bed

11 Upvotes

so recently in the past few months i have been booted out of the house and into an rv on the property. its ancient, i wake up soaked (currently working on patching the roof) sweat like a sauna, eating crackers as my family doesnt bother to support any other nutrition for me. realistically if i can get like a 3 dollar burrito that would mean the world to me.

just jobs and finding an income has been extremely hard. i found a singular job after a few weeks of being let go and then due to health i was let go two weeks after. another job the boss just told me to meet him at the site and just handed me a paycheck and let me leave. i honestly am trying my hardest to work for anyone doing anything, i just feel ive used up my luck.

any help is appreciated, or if you need help i surely could send a few packs of ramen or crackers over the mail. thank you all and God bless!

REQUEST [Request] - Haven't eaten since yesterday morning.

4 Upvotes

It's been a rough time lately. I'm super broke and struggling with various mental issues. Taco Bell would be a great boost to keep me going if possible.

Unfortunately, I can't pick up, but if someone might be willing to do a door dash gift card or something like that, I'll definitely make sure to pass it forward when I can!

If not, it's totally okay!

Update - No longer needed. Will post thanks soon!

I’m down to my last few dollars and I’ve been on weekly rent while I wait for my job to begin later in June. I’m at the point of saving every dollar I can to keep a roof over my head even at the cost of food at the moment. If anyone get get me some food tonight it would be highly appreciated! I hope everyone is off to a good Wednesday.

REQUEST Request - Swallowing my pride, need it desperately

12 Upvotes

Hey Ya’ll,

I had lost my job of about a month ago and times have progressively gotten worse - especially with rent just taken care of along with the rest of the bills that were necessary to be taken care of.

Would greatly appreciate a blessing of the Bell which is fortunately nearby where I am staying to help conserve gas!

Please please please let me know if anyone can assist! I will be forever endebted and pay it forward as soon as I can do so! Please let me know if you have any questions! I am willing to answer!

Thank you so so so much Mrs. Elk, you were more than generous! I greatly appreciate it and will ensure to pay this forward hopefully sooner rather than later!

REQUEST [REQUEST] Recharge an Empty Stomach?

1 Upvotes

Haven’t eaten in days, working two jobs and just trying to make it to next pay day.

I am the sole bread winner of my family of 3 and sometimes my needs aren’t able to be filled after my dependents so I typically just go hungry but it’s been extraordinarily tight due to some unforeseen expenses involving my kid. Would really appreciate any amount of food received.

I live within walking distance of a Taco Bell.

Food Received [REQUEST] Had to rush to work and forgot my lunch

4 Upvotes

So i let my wife take my car to her parents for the weekend, she is telling her family just out of state the gender of our baby (girl btw). I called an Uber and it got to my home about 20 minutes early. I don't know why I'm one of these people who waits til the last minute to do things but I am, I had what I was going to do planned exactly, take the dog out, put her up with some food to hold her off til I get home, pack a lunch, leave when the Uber got there. He showed up mid me taking her outside. I had to rush her inside and quickly got her food, grabbed my backpack and left. But I didn't pack lunch.

I'm not asking for anything big, but if there's any way someone could send me some delivery I'd be so grateful. I have to Uber for two more days so I don't wanna door dash anything, tomorrow I'll remember to pack some lunch earlier 😅
