Jack in the Box turns the tables on me

Leave yours...

Don't be fooled, they're just hoping you'll pick up an overpriced burger and large coke to go with the free fries.

Was it even really worth your $1.10 to call?

I'm reminded of the old adage, "Just because something is free doesn't mean that you should take it." Which, modified for the situation, should probably read: "Just because you overpaid for something doesn't necessarily mean you should get the free fries."

Just contest it with your CC company. Who needs to deal with people :-)

Oh come on. You could've been more assertive.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda... didn't; I know. But you could have asked to talk with a manager who might have had the authority to come up with a more intuitive plan.

This happened to me with a value meal that had no condiments- free value meal. I had to go to the same franchise and had to give a timeframe as well.

So I picked a date and time I knew I would be in the area. free meal though.

I'll go grab 'em if you're too busy to eat free food... ;)

I understand your frustration. It just happened to my wife recently with baggles. She paid for 8 and got 6 in the bag.

I used to work at a fast food restaurant many years ago. Once in awhile, a customer would return their burger or food after eating most of it. Yes, we had claims like your too, and we refund our customers too. There is no way for a business to verify most claims. That's just part of the business. Look at it from both sides.

Hmm...is it on the way to the SJC airport? That'd be a perfect stop on the way there next Monday =)

Look in the bag before leaving the drive thru.

Wtf did you think was going to happen?

OH COME ON!!

Have a little faith in fate, whill ya? You'll get that dollar back. Maybe you owed it from way back when you found a buck on the street.

Don't go back for that.

Allow me to put a positive spin on this situation.

** What goes around comes around?

> > This would imply that you did a similar thing to someone else, expecting them not to turn up, like JITB expect you not to. But you seem to be a nice guy with all the good advice on this blog, so we will dispense with this trend of thought.

** Things have to happen for things to happen (This is my line, coined by me, lived by me!!)

> > This was all meant to be!! karma, fate, destiny call it what you will!! You had to got to that particular JITB and you had to get a wrong charge leading you to having to call and give them a time to come back and get the $1.10 fries (their fries are good, though :) ). You have to be back there on Mon 3-5pm!!

There, let's move on to another of this world's major problems!!

Nice blog. Will be back here often.

I don't see how you'll get rich this way. Isn't your time worth something?
