Jack In The Box and their Tacos

Status
Not open for further replies.
I ate at Jack in the Box often in high school because it was a block away from the building. The tacos were always soaked in grease, you could practically see through the shell.

My friend advised me to put a taco in a cheeseburger, and I have to admit, it was pretty amazing.

Won't do me any harm. Haven't worked there in forever.

Just know that while my store had a sense of decorum (oddly enough for being the store that all the addicts and hookers went to. Ask me what a hooker orders, invariably, from Jack in the Box), not all of them do.

Actually I'm just craving something from the norm since I've had a set meal schedule for the past three weeks. March 11th will be a glorious day with fried chicken.

If your tastes send you after cheap junk food from a JitB, get the chicken sandwich. Much better.

The hostility, btw, comes from the fact that they are the single most time consuming item on the menu:

  • They have to be placed in special holders instead of baskets like other items.
  • Each holder only has 8 slots.
  • Our store and other stores I knew of only had one of the holders.
  • You're not allowed to double up (we did anyways).
  • They're the fastest cooking fried item on the menu, so you can't do other work while they cook or they will burn, and they burn fast.
  • If they burn you have to toss them and start over.
  • Once they're done you have to stuff them with cheese and lettuce then sauce them, which is time consuming in and of itself. Then bag them.
  • If they break you have to toss it and start over.

Simple enough with 2, 4, or even 8.

A nightmare with 20, 30, 40, or 50.

Especially when you get to the busy part of the night after the bars close.

ESPECIALLY since you're being timed and your manager doesn't give a shit that someone ordered 50 tacos and slowed the entire line, the average time for the night is bad and it's your fault.

Fuck those tacos.

I think being angry at the customers is the wrong response. They are pretty good, and they're cheap. Be mad at management or corporate for not having adequate equipment or personnel to match customer need regardless of the time of day.

Who needs 20 tacos?

Thing is, anything but tacos, 3 people can handle a drive through at the busiest time of day. But even with 2 holders on hand, tacos would still be a massive impediment. You can't have a 5 or 6 person staff over night and even if you could those stupidly large taco orders would still be a problem. There's just not enough room in the kitchen for more than two people to assemble them at once. Plus you still have the problem of if they break or burn they have to be tossed and you have to cook new ones.

If I had an issue with corporate regarding the tacos it's that they were a menu item at all.
 
I know they are pure crap food. But they taste awesome I admit.


I hardly eat them nowadays though...cutting out most fast food/processed food etc.
 
Jack in the Box needs to bring back their tofu stuffed tacos. Or imitation meat, whatever it was. Those were amazing!!!
