Latest eatery to reduce services in Bay Area amid surge of crime and violence
Taco Bell restaurants in Oakland have suspended indoor dining access and will serve customers only at drive-thru windows amid a crime wave sweeping the Bay Area, according to reports.
The popular Mexican-style fast food chain is the latest business to radically alter operations in the California city, which has been descending into lawlessness for some time, as InfoWars has documented.
Additionally, the same locations have gone cashless and will only accept electronic payments, according to signage photographed by local residents.

The changes apply to at least four out of five Taco Bell franchises in the city, which are owned and operated by Diversified Restaurant Group.
“Providing a safe environment for team members and customers is the priority at Taco Bell restaurants. The franchise owner and operator has informed us that they are consistently evaluating and working to ensure a safe environment by implementing procedures, such as closing dining rooms, and hiring security guards, and they have taken extra measures to meet with local law enforcement,” Taco Bell Corp. told ABC7 News in a statement.

In January, In-N-Out announced the closure of its only Oakland location — despite being profitable — citing violent crime and thefts affecting employees and guests, potentially making it the first location to ever be shut down by the wildly-popular West Coast-based company.
Other restaurant chains, including Raising Cane’s and Denny’s, have also reduced services in Oakland or closed altogether due to rampant crime and insecurity.
InfoWars has been documenting the surge of crime across the United States, including carjackings, ‘street takeovers,’ smash-and-grab loot mobs, home invasions, and physical attacks on innocent victims.
