I do not play like that, "wrote Shannon Mosier Gridley on Facebook, following the withdrawal of his guests from the Louisville location.

That night, Gridley left Jefferson Community and Technical College, where she studied, to travel to Taco Bell, where she has been a client for 20 years. During her walk, she saw three homeless people in the street.

Gridley spontaneously asked the group if they wanted a hot meal. "I told one to put on a shirt," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "We walked a little and then saw three other homeless people who joined us."

The group walked and Gridley realized that they would soon overtake a group of people sleeping under a road viaduct. "I could not cross them without an invitation," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "So I said, who is awake and who wants food?"

While Gridley and his group were about to enter the Broadway restaurant, one of them spotted a friend and asked him to include him. This man was with six other people homeless.

According to Gridley, the restaurant was practically empty and seven employees were present. "A security guard who worked in my college was dining at a table and started harassing one of the women," she says. "I waved my credit card and said," Everyone here is a paying customer. "

But the cashier reportedly told the cooks, "Pack all those orders to go." After Gridley paid $ 77 for a food order, a teenager asked to use the restroom. "The employee stated that the bathroom had been cleaned and closed for the night," she said. "But it was an hour before closing."

Then a tall, well-dressed man entered Taco Bell. "He told me," I see what you're doing here and I would like to contribute, "giving Gridley a $ 10 bill.

After Gridley placed a second order for $ 11, she says an employee locked the front door and ordered everyone to leave by the side exit, as the restaurant was "understaffed".

Gridley claims to have surprised an employee to imitate him in a sharp voice to the director. "Meanwhile, all my guests were smiling and showing up," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "There was no problem with their behavior."

Four members of his group were not served, although Gridley sacrificed his own meal to share them.

"A group of men accompanied me to my car and we said goodbye," she told Yahoo Lifestyle.

On Tuesday, Gridley wrote on Facebook: "I spent over $ 100 on 48 menu items and told me to leave … I'm going to shout from the roofs how bad Taco Bell is towards paying customers. I am a 44 year old white housewife who has nothing better to do. I encourage someone from an authority to contact me.

A representative of Taco Bell told Yahoo Lifestyle: "Taco Bell is committed to creating a welcoming and safe space for everyone, while maintaining an environment free of discrimination and harassment. The franchise organization that owns and operates this site is studying the issue and will proactively re-engage their team members on its policies. Knowing that homelessness is an unfortunate problem in this particular area, the franchisee is eager to make contacts with local organizations to see how they can help and better work together in the future. "

Gridley says she's going to feed the homeless again – but not at Taco Bell. "I'll take them to McDonald's."
