Are Taco's really that cheap or is Cheese that expensive - Lateral-g Forums

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.

LOL. Thats not really cheese they're using.

I don't know what it could be because it tastes like cheese, melts like cheese, hell it even gives you gas like cheese.

HMMMMM.........

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.

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?
