OK, maybe not the best and worst, but among them. The first photo is my favorite gas station guy. He's always friendly, fast, and actually uses a calculator to convert guilders to dollars. He always remembers who I am and he's always great to talk to. This is what customer service in St. Maarten should be like!! It's not often that I tip a gas station attendant, but if there's change left over...he always gets it.
The second picture is from the one and only Taco Bell in St. Maarten. However, what they serve there can barely pass as Taco Bell. Before you even get your food, you have to deal with the horrendous cashier ladies. First, they don't even know the menu, not even a little! This was not the first time I had been in there and they did not know what a Chalupa was. Second, they don't sell hard shell tacos, because they just don't feel like it anymore!! They're still on the menu and in all the pictures, but they just don't have them. Next, while it takes longer to get your food at Quiznos (somehow, they are able to bend time so that even though they move, nothing happens), it is a little more infuriating at Taco Bell because they just move soooooo slowly, and then only between talking on the phone and talking to each other in the back. The woman can literally only make one taco at a time, and she does so at an unbelievably slow pace. This, of course, is not until the cashier finally figures out how to put your order into the computer.
Once you get your food, the worst part begins. After 20 minutes in line, and such meticulous care put into making each taco, one at a time, you'd think it would at least taste OK. You'd also probably think that, being a franchise, all taco bell's would use the same ingredients. Well, they don't, and the meat, cheese, lettuce, and chicken here all sucks. I'm pretty sure that my chicken had a tumor. As much as I do love Taco Bell, I will not ever be going back to this one. I wish the taco bell ladies could take a lesson from Gas Station Guy!!
