An unnamed woman was recorded calling a Taco Bell employee racist for not letting her order french fries.
The video, reportedly taken in an unidentified Taco Bell restaurant in the U.S., shows a possibly drunk woman looking up at the menu while trying to order a medium-sized french fries at the counter.
The employee tells the woman that they do not carry french fries, to which the woman responds, “You’re Burger King, you don’t sell french fries?”

The Taco Bell employee explains to the woman that she is not in Burger King — she is in Taco Bell, which does not offer hamburgers or french fries. The employee then tries to take the woman’s order, who once again, asks for french fries.

As the woman continues to stand at the counter, she becomes increasingly distraught that the employee is intentionally not being nice to her, and proclaims, “This is racism at it’s f---ing finest,” before nearly dissolving into tears.
Another customer steps in and tells her it’s not racism — it's just that Taco Bell sells “tacos and burritos.”

Another employee tried to help out by “starting over” and walking the woman through the menu, but the woman felt that she had been treated poorly by both the drive-thru employee and the counter employee, and decides to leave, ultimately stating “I don’t like what happened here.”

The chain hinted that they might soon be offering french fries in a Twitter conversation with Blink 182 member Mark Hoppus, after he lamented that the chain's menu lacked the fast-food staple.
