A relatively-new (built in the last two years) Taco Bell near me has a sign up saying that they are only open 4PM-10PM, drive-thru only. Something weird is going on with employment. It's as if some of these big firms will suffer some huge penalty the moment their average wages go over a certain threshold.
The drive-thru only restriction is almost certainly because of COVID.
... But the hours restriction is interesting. I've noticed weird hours at the Taco Bell near my place, and this is probably purely anecdotal, but it does make me sort of wonder if there's something unique to Taco Bell making it hard for them to flesh out their hours.
