▲ 109 ▼ Tonight I decided to try jack-in-the-box for the first time... (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by Chriszz@lemmy.world to c/casualconversation@lemmy.world 48 comments fedilink hide all child comments And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?

Neat. It reminded me of Chipotle. They had that badddd year back in 2015 where it felt like every store had either E. Coli, or Norovirus. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Yep, so their solution was not to cook in stores anymore, making the food taste like the shit reheated crap it was, making me not go there anymore. Ever. Used to eat there minimum once a week cause it was close to work. I’ll never understand how making your product demonstrably worse is seen as a good business move. permalink fedilink source parent [–] digitalgadget@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago My family too. Arby's and Jack were places we never even considered going. As an adult I've tried both, and my conclusion is Arby's tries to be Subway and Dairy Queen and does a mediocre job; Jack is like microwaveable gas station snacks. permalink fedilink source parent
