I heard back during the Cold War the Russians saw the little building at the center of the pentagon and almost bombed the food court.

"Oh yeah I work at the pentagon no big deal..." "Oh really what do you do there?" *mumbles* "oh you know taco stuff..." "What?" "what"

During tje Cold War it was a hotdog stand and the primary target for Soviet ICBMs.

Not a Taco Bell, it's a cafe at the center of the courtyard.

It has always been a "food" stand. Cafe Ground Zero. http://archive.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=1049

There is a whole mall inside there including a BestBuy and food court!

Damn Magneto must have been shittin bricks
PiffTheMagicDildo
Most people don't realize the sheer size of the pentagon... 26,000 employees... think about it.
redsalmon
"Mexican-inspired"??? "We thought about a Mexican while we made this crap."
eromitlab
Mexicans use beans, rice and cheese in their food, so do we. Same thing, right? So, how would you like your beans, rice and cheese arranged?

Apparently a Burger King, Panda Express, and a Starbucks. God forbid our defense personnel chow on some fast food while working to 1/

I would expect there to be. Even in England and Japan we had them on the base.
zalurker
I wonder if there is still a coffee shop called Ground Zero there? Or is it too soon?

So who works there? Do Taco Bell employees get pentagon clearance, or do pentagon employees get put on Taco Bell duty
ButterfaceTaintClown
Taco bell employees have security clearance. Their products are used in extraordinary rendition.
LikeTheGuardianButForReal
Whenever civilians work on military installations they get clearance to get inside. Not clearance for any kind of info, just to come in
BewilderedBeaver
Neither. The Pentagon was built around TacoBell. Nobody gets out, nobody gets in. TacoBell workers are there forever.
craze
A General makes your taco. Duh.
marylanddd
If it's the second one, there's definitely times where people have to explain that they aren't spies, but rather they serve Mexican food
TheAntVenom
Yes
whoopsywoo
They actually employ many special needs people inside there food courts and kiosks.
whoopsywoo
They have there own Dmv, grocery store, chaple, and several food courts because of the long hours they take.
Jumacao
Probably staffed by former enlisted intel-types who make more money doing that than they did as a Sgt.
EldritchShadow
The first one I believe not 100% but I've heard of Starbucks employees in some kinda of military facility that needed security clearance.
KaylaAnnMeow
Normal Starbucks background checks only go back 7 years. To work for the FBI or pentagon Starbucks you have your whole like checked.
OdinsMightyBeard
Pentagon employees get Taco Bell clearance, and Taco Bell employees get put on pentagon duty.

Can confirm, am iluminati
TheAntVenom
Yes

Odin is very wise, so I guess I can trust his beard. This must be true!

That explains a lot

You don't need a clearance to get in the Pentagon, only certain spaces are secure. It's got a gift shop, FFS.
CandyMinion
IT GOT A GIFTSHOP? Who the fuck buys fucking gifts at the fucking Pentagon?
ClearBlue
People who work 14 hours or more a day. Most Pentagon jobs have grueling schedules and high stress.
whoopsywoo
You can sign up for a tour of the Pentagon. I whent there with the boyscouts but we didnt vist the gift shop.
CandyMinion
I can understand a Starbucks bc coffee is life for some... But gifts?
cogs
Souvenirs. Hats, t-shirts, mugs, pins, the usual. Over 100,000 tourists a year. https://pentagontours.osd.mil/Tours/
CandyMinion
Tourists?!? Gee,tomorrow I'm visiting The Cia,take a pic with Tony Menendez,buy shit,amateur bug the house maybe and then I'll go to NORAD!
FredGarvinMaleProstitute
There are 3 mall sized food courts at the Pentagon. There are 26,000 people there. They have to eat.
Makinbrosmadonimgurandnotgivingafuck
Hell hath no fury like a fucking 3 star who didn't get cheese on their burrito.
eromitlab
Can you even imagine the traffic nightmare if most of the people working there hopped in their cars to get lunch close by?
FredGarvinMaleProstitute
They have their own metro station too.
TobyFromHumanResources
I thought government employees were fed a nutrient-rich slurry made from their predecessors.
Septagon
Mmm soylenty
ImmaculateDegenerate
Used to work there. People did not go hungry.
WordsUnknown
what was it like? was it like a mall food court or a fancy food street?
ImmaculateDegenerate
Mall food court. There are a few peppered around the building not just one big one.
WordsUnknown
thank you for sharing. Hope that won't get you in trouble.
ImmaculateDegenerate
No problem. I don't really think top secret Burger King is a thing so I think I'll be alright lol
