Are Taco's really that cheap or is Cheese that expensive

[ironworks]

Ok so once a week, I frequent Jack in the box and order my cheap lunch. 2 regular taco's and one Jumbo jack hamburger. The jumbo Jack is 1.39 without cheese and 1.79 with cheese. And the taco's are 2 for 99 cents. But get this each taco has a slices of cheese, standard. So do the taco's only cost 9.5 cents a piece? or Are they selling me the Jumbo Jack for cheap in hopes that I will add the 40 cent cheese.

What's even more funny is I never order cheese for this reason, but 1 out of 3 times I get cheese by accident.

Any insight from those much smarter then me. Back to work I have some cheese to pay for.

Roger , nothing better to do today ?

LOL. Thats not really cheese they're using.:_paranoid I don't know what it could be because it tastes like cheese, melts like cheese, hell it even gives you gas like cheese. :_paranoid HMMMMM......... :_paranoid

My local Wendy's had a sign out on the lack of tomatoes. If you don't specifically ask for a slice, you won't get one. Sounds like someone needs to invent a "processed tomato food product" to go with that mystery cheez.

It's all about the add-on sales. Any smart franchise will insist on employees asking "did you want cheese on that" or "would you like an apple pie with thaaaaaaatttt?" If you get it 1 out of 3 times w/o asking... that just shows how tough it is to hire good people. :_paranoid

One of my biggest peeves is when going Subway, (or any other joint where cheese is standard) they charge for extra cheese but if you opt to not have the cheese, they will not credit you that cheese. Somebody, tell me.. is the cheese worth a dollar or not?

I'm just sayin.....

Really, now I'm going to start looking at cheese pricing...Thanks for another thing to worry about :lol: :lol: :lol:

[XcYZ]

Will they get mad if you bring your own cheese? :D

[Romulus]

Only if you expect them to install and guarantee it. :rofl:

[Blake Foster]

And how come at the supermarket the cheese is priced at 12.97 and then the " Special" price sticker says 5.99??? and they are all 5.99 no mater haw big the block is.

[SWAPMEETCRAZY]

Ever notice on the wrappers at jack -in-the-box that the parent co. is PURINA--I'm serious :yes: jim

[pokey64]

Ohhh stop picking on the cheese guys. We all know they use kangaroo in the tacos. :lol:

Big question is how they can sell 2 tacos for 99 cents and make a profit. Think about the basic overhead to run any business.... Payroll, insurance, utilities, supplies etc. There has to be a mark up for everything just to break even let alone make a profit. So think about how cheap their supplies must be to mark 2 tacos up to 99 cents and make a profit.

It ain't real meat in those tacos

..... and where do all those dead... er um...I mean "put to sleep" cats and dogs go?


:rofl:

[skatinjay27]

for real american cheese its cost us "regular" restaurant folks like 6-8 cent per slice that fake shiz is like 4-5 cents for us also so a company with buying power like jack its prob. more like 2-3 cent a slice food cost...

speaking of cheese my mozzarella cheese has went up 40cent per pound in the last 2 months.:mad:

Loss leader?? get you to come on for those and you'll buy something else.

I hit up jack for 2 tacos, and their fish sandwich, fries and a drink special once or twice a week. I only get charged $3.27. I am a cheap bastard, but some reason I do enjoy those mystery meat tacos.

They want you buying a drink. It costs pennies for the cup, ice, and drink. Plus they gotta get rid of that spoiled meat somehow....:D

[monza]

They don't care about the cheese.
Did you order a pop? They make the money mostly on pop and a few other high margin items. They don't really make any thing on that other crap you ate.

[Vegas69]

Things have been a little slow around here but this is ridiculous.

[monza]

Just imagine how pissed Rogers 'other' email friend will be when he reads this ridiculous post. Can't recall Mr high morals name.

seriously- for real- you should not eat that crap.

[Vegas69]

Brian is likely jumping for joy at the thought of a few clogged arteries on Herman Munster. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Whats sad is we made it to three pages on this already, I'm glad the cats and dogs won't go to waste Greg :thumbsup:

This coming from the guy who has posted twice in this thread....

What has nobody posted anything in the Payback thread in like 15 minutes, so you had to check out the off topic section in the mean time. :D :D

I did buy a soda today. I usually don't. So I guess Jack go over on me today.

I wish we had some high margin items like that........ OH TO DREAM.




Oh and if my "BOYEE" Brian was here, this thread would have already made ten pages and Lat-g would be sponsored by Jack in the Box. Because not one of you guys have integrity or money.

I wish guys like Brian hung out here more often..........:rofl: :rofl:

You could probably get similar margins to soda pop charging by the lineal inch for MIG wire. :D

Nothing like a good laugh before bed.:thumbsup:

i notice you had to join in. lol

i agree it's all in the POP.

[Romulus]

Put a vending machine in the shop. It'll generate traffic (ha) ... at the very least you'll make some money back from the guys in the shop and we've determined it's the highest margin item you sell. Win-win. :unibrow:

[Stuart Adams]

Rodger you don't want to know what meat is in the tacos. Lol.

Hay whatever it is.... Dog, Cat, worm guts, whatever it is, It's good.

This morning my cheese was 2.25/lb. A few months ago it was 1.47/lb.

I order 15 cases (48lb case) a week per store. Thats 720 lbs of mozz cheese a week and @ 0.78 cents more per pound. Im spending another $561.60/week just on cheese. $29,203 a year extra out of my pocket. :( :mad:

Thats just one store. Times that by 2 since I have 2 stores. Im spending more money on cheese this year then your average person makes per year.

Ahhh its depressing.

Raise your prices - then you're not paying it - the customer is. :thumbsup:

BTW -- YOUR government will assure you "there is no inflation".

4 pages and counting... Milk?

[pokey64]

Cheese is an exported commodity. Global demand is up and the dollar is weak so it takes more coin to get the melty goodness.

[takid455]

Are we talking shredded or cut cheese?

How often should/ does one cut cheese??? :faint:
