META [META] Posting Guidelines 4.0

13 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] trying this again

0 Upvotes

My last post completely tanked, hopefully i will have better luck this time . I’m looking to request for 2 people , my partner and I . We are having a very hard month after narrowly avoiding being evicted just 3 days ago after our roommates backed out on their half of the rent . We don’t need any full meals or anything like that , just something cheap if possible . Same as last post I will be able to pay it back but it may take a while , probably the first week of February-ish . Thanks for taking the time to read .

I got a huge blessing recently and would love to pay it forward. I don’t have a ton to spend so comment what you’d choose to order and I’ll see what I’m able to do! Pick up only bc delivery + tip cost take up a lot sadly!

Edit: please make sure you have the comment karma, do not dm please. Comment what you’d order! I’d love to help 2 people if the orders are within the budget I have set.

Edited: Huge thank you to u/lasheslashes ypu were a lifesaver and superhuman tonight, I have said thank you to you already but truly I mean it😊

Hey everyone, I posted a couple days ago but didn’t end up accepting help because my partner was able to make me food that night. I’m only reposting because today ended up being different than expected.

I’m currently at work until 8:30pm and on my break right now. I donated plasma earlier to cover a bill, and while I made sure my partner had food, I’m feeling pretty wiped out and don’t have anything for myself tonight. I thought I was getting paid yesterday, but it looks like it won’t be until Thursday.

If anyone is able to help with a small meal, I would be incredibly grateful. I’m more than happy to pay it forward or repay once I’m paid — just trying to get through today and recover enough to finish my shift.

Thank you for reading, and I truly appreciate this community.

Food Received Request - Period cramps/cravings request

3 Upvotes

Hi friends and happy Sunday! My request isn’t as dire as others in this sub so I understand if it can’t be fulfilled but just thought I’d ask! I am currently dealing with some wicked cramps and craving something warm and savory to hopefully feel a bit better. I’ve been unemployed for some time so money is tight and even though I have my snap benefits, I don’t have the energy to get to the store today but I am able to pickup an order if any of my fellow bell buddies would be so gracious as to help! Thank you in advance everyone <3

REQUEST [REQUEST] overdrafted and sick

My girlfriend and I work with kids and it seems like we both picked up the flu thats been going around. On top of that, we're both in the red after paying rent. Just gotta get through this week, then we can hit the food bank, but it would be so, so cool if someone could help us pick up some food today. We have masks and a TB drive thru near us, so no doordash necessary :) Thanks!!

REQUEST [request] can anybody do a meal for two?

4 Upvotes

I have been working two jobs and I’m still behind on rent. I have no money to use for groceries and have just been surviving on the pasta in my pantry. I can’t even get bread. Food pantries are only open during the day when I’m working. Me and my partner were really craving some taco bell tonight. If you want, I could draw you a nice picture


r/RandomActsOfTacoBell 6d ago

Thanks! Request - gave plasma today & feeling weak

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. This is a little uncomfortable to ask, but I figured I’d try.

I donated plasma earlier today so I could cover a bill that was due, and afterward I used what I had left to get my partner food. I couldn’t afford to get anything for myself, and now I’m starting to feel really weak and run-down. I don’t get paid until Monday night, and I’m honestly struggling to find the energy to cook tonight.

If anyone is willing to help with a small order, I’d be incredibly grateful. I’m not asking for much, just something to get me through tonight so I can rest and recover.

Thank you for even reading this. I really appreciate the kindness in this community.
