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

[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.

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

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

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?

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.

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....

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.

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