Secret Happiness - Taco Bell Bucks

We decided to go to Taco Bell after doing a few errands this evening. Part of me would have rather gone to the IHOP nearby, but I ended up taking a survey on a new product that Taco Bell might start to offer. It was something called the "1/2 pound burrito." If I filled out the survey after eating the free 1/2 pound burrito, I would also get $2 Taco Bell bucks. It tasted pretty good, but nothing earth shattering. Plus, it sounded so huge, but it was the size of a regular burrito. That was actually fine with me. I don't like big gloppy burritos. We'll see how it turns out.

As we ate, I saw multiple people turn down the option to complete the survey. It was a little long, but sometimes I do it just so the person can say they met the quota.

The cool thing about the evening - as we walked out there were four teenage boys that came in the store. They agreed to take the survey with the enthusiasm of someone who had just won the lottery. I mean, free dinner PLUS $2 Taco Bell Bucks? Jackpot!

This in turn generated giggles from the survey lady (she was in her 40s) and so there as an all around secret happiness going on in Taco Bell for a few moments as four teenage boys grinned ear to ear waiting for their free dinner and the survey lady was four more surveys closer to her quota.

I'm betting that they called a few more friends on the way out the door and generated some more visits to Taco Bell this evening.

A little secret happiness can go a long way...
