Jack in the Box

I have been going to the drive-thru at the Jack in the Box 1/2 mile from my house for 4 years. Everytime, the employees were hispanic and barely spoke English. My orders were wrong about 1/3 of the time. This lead to many complaints by me to corporate. A couple of months ago, I noticed the crew was now African-American and whites that spoke perfect English. Over the weekend, I went inside to order and I saw this:

Since when did Jack in the Box start using e-verify?

Good for you for speaking up, more Americans need to step up and speak out. I call on everything now Everyone needs to hear from Americans in all areas, how else are they gonna know were ticked.
Love the e-verify info thanks.

They must have had a LOT of complaints! It really DOES work. Good news and good for you and really good that Americans are getting jobs we supposedly "won't" do! :wink:

Contact Jack In The Box to thank them both for adopting the policy nationally and also for displaying the E-Verify sign in their individual stores!

"Contact Us" includes:
E-mail comment form, both general and store-specific
Toll-free Telephone number
postal address

it goes to show that we deserve what we get.

Great going jshhmr: Keep up the good work.

I'll send the main office a Thank You Email.

Ahhh, probably its just because their boyfriends couldn't get anymore construction jobs and had to leave, so they left, too.....


Seriously, I will send my thanks to Jack!

Let me check out my local Jack in the Box, I stopped going there is was like being in Mexico.

Actually now that I remember it was worse than Mexico, they spoke better English and accepted dollars at the Tijuana Jack in the Box.

It worked in the Wendy's in my small town several months ago. All the girls behind the counter were hispanic and BARELY spoke English. I immediately sent a letter and also told the manager while I was there - I am American, I speak English, refuse to do business with people who can't speak my language and that I will make sure everyone I know quits coming to your establishment. I am sure they got more complaints.

A couple of months later and since then . . . only Americans except for maybe one or two in the back!!

So it does help to complain and refuse to do business with them.

How do you know those 2 in the back weren't Americans?

I don't know that at all. What I do know is that the previous hispanic girls could not properly speak English and I expect people to speak English to me when I am spending money in an American establishment when I am in America.

I also know that I am TIRED of being over run by illegal hispanic people and I am getting very mad about it!!

Yea. All businesses in America are required to do business with its customers in English. What I need clarification on is whether the girls you speak of were speaking Spanish to you or were they at least making an effort to speak to you in English.

Yes, there were three hispanic girls up front who could 'barely' speak English but were making an attempt. If one didn't understand me then they would speak spanish to each other. Once they got my order, they called out the order in spanish and spoke to the other people in spanish.

While I was waiting for my order they all were speaking spanish to each other.


Sorry, not good enough for me.

So basically your issue with these girls was that they were speaking with one another in a language other than English in a customer service environment? If that were the case, then these workers should have received a warning from their boss, that they should refrain from speaking anything other than English, as opposed to simply firing them.

Once they're outside the business or off the job, they can speak whatever they like in my opinion. You agree?

Ok so I think I understand this now. With regards to the issue immigration, on the Left, when they detect the smallest sign of disagreement or you question you're called a "racist", and on the Right, you're considered "race baiting"? 8O

You can't have a conversation with either group if you don't agree with them. You don't want to stoop to their level if you want to win on this issue.

Nope, wrong. You lose 10 points. :lol:

Like I said, I won't back off. I simply questioning here. That's not Trolling. Trolling is me saying you're a racist, something a troll would do.

If an adult or even a teenager cannot speak English, chances are they are illegal. Very few legal hispanics would have a problem interpreting the menu and the menu is the basic dialog when you are at an eating establishment trying to place an order.

In other words, if they cannot speak or understand English then I feel it is safe to assume they are not legal....This is not to say I am right, just my opinion. :wink:

When you start sounding like your in favor of Illegals, that's when your intentions are questioned.
Pro-Illegals are not welcome on this board. ALIPAC is not about "Immigration", it's about "anti- Illegal Immigration".

If your NOT Pro-Illegal.........please start acting like it. :wink:

I'll chime in that issue of English speaking immigrants and being legal. I knew a Romanian family who had legally immigrated here, and were on their way to becoming citizens. The mother of the girls (school friends of my daughters) had been here only five years, and her English was impeccable, along with knowing the slang terms.

She took great pride in having mastered American English. I felt proud to know her. She would also apologize for answering calls in Romanian while I was there, she was concerned I would think she was being rude (it was her home, so no, but I admired her consideration).

I feel that if someone comes here and wants to live and work here, they have an obligation to know English, use it and speak it in public. They are no longer in their native nation.

Furthermore, we have read many articles from verifiable news sources, where an immigrant has been here well over the five years my friend from Romania had been (some we have read here had been in the U.S. for 20 years and could not speak English), and did not know a bit of English, and further into the article it has stated they were here illegally. There usually is a connection with the nonacceptance of learning or use of English, with illegal aliens.

By acting in this way, all too many illegal aliens, on top of the state of their illegal residence in the U.S., have caused much bitterness towards themselves from Americans, and legal immigrants.

What can one expect? We all know they would feel like us if we were in their nation doing the same things, acting in the same way, refusing to attempt to assimilate and also following the laws. They'd be beyond angry and knowing many of the nations to the south of us, we'd all be in some nasty prison.

BTW, I emailed Jack in the Box and said thanks, it means a lot to all of us!

I like to consider myself as the independent, centralist, or populist when it comes to this issue. I don't agree with the Left nor with the Right on this issue. Is that allowed here???

Basically I agree with most of the American people on this issue. We need a fence along our Southern border to stem the flow of illegals. That must come FIRST. Then after that's done, allow those who've learned the English language, are in the process of assimilating, pay back fines, and have not committed crimes while here illegally to stay. If you're not interested in the American way of life then frankly we have no use for you.

America will go along with such a solution, but because of the disagreements the Left and Right have on this issue nothing is getting done.

Coolhead, that's exactly what we here call amnesty and are fighting against. Anyone who is in this country illegally needs to leave and come back in the right way. There are no exceptions.

Umm, they are called illegal because they have committed crimes. Which means none of them can stay, so there is no point in talking about the "learning English" (10 hours ESL class) and "pay back fines" (really we will be paying them $20,000 in Earned Income Credit) parts.

PS. Those above "minor details" were not mentioned to the polled Americans.

Quote:

---

The illegal aliens HAVE ALL committed crimes by crossing our border or over staying visa's against our current immigration laws, there is no exception to that.

Trust me, I go walking into my local grocery store after they close at night, and get caught by local police, do you think I will not be charged with not only trespassing, but breaking and entering and theft, even if I say I needed something and by the way, left some cash on the counter? Think any judge is going to say "hey, she was just trying to feed her family, she felt desperate"? No, they will say "sorry, should have waited till the store opened then you could have come in with their permission and left your cash with a clerk so your purchase was legal".

Why on earth is there always two types of punishment in this nation? One kind for people who do wrong and are citizens, and another for those who can give out the biggest sob story to bleeding heart libertard politicians and judges?

Think any of the illegal aliens governments would give us the same kid glove treatment to any of us in their nation illegally, as we have been giving their citizens in our country illegally? NO, and we should not be jeopardizing the integrity of our laws and system by doing anything other than making them leave, ask permission and wait. No exceptions.

I am more tough with my kids when they break the rules, than our government had been with illegal aliens.

I'd say you qualify......... but there are some advocates on this board that will have you removed by the way your attacks on alisab sounded Pro-Illegal...whether intended or not.
Most of the advocates here would have no question whether or not another poster knew that the person in question was Illegal.
In Fact...so far, on all of the Immigration forums I'm with..the only ones who make such an attack are Pro-Illegals or Sympathizers.
You may need to rephrase your question so they're less unbias.
So either change your ways or be prepared to be eliminated.

But am I missing something? Isn't one of the requirements of citizenship the ability to take an exam about our laws? It used to be given in English or is it now given in every language in the world?
It is not racism when one is surrounded by people who no speakedy Ingles, and you can't get a job in a grocery store as you are not "bilingual." Well I speak Finnish, Estonian, English and German, but no Spanish, but I do not blame them for racism. I blame them for preference for hiring Spanish speakers. It should not be going on in this country.
Now I do wonder why the non-English speakers are here bagging groceries, when that is a job that any high school student or college kid would handle very well.

It is still in English for those under I think age 55, those over age 55 who have been in the US more than 15 years get it in their native language.

It is an oral test of 10 questions concerning US government and history. One of our employees just took it and failed, but that was because he didn't study for it.

Why are you here, CoolHead? Are you seeking to undermine our position on amnesty for illegal aliens? :?

CoolHead, so you support illegals staying in our country if they haven't committed a crime? Holy crap where do I start here.
1. They have already committed a crime by being here illegally. Strike One
2. They have to use some sort of ID to get a job, food stamps, etc. IF you
read the many stories on this forum about id fraud (including MY id stolen), then you should know that they use other peoples identity to "live the American Dream." Strike Two
3. They consume billions of dollars worth of services that are intended for Americans only. They use more than they return, therefore me and YOU pay for them through taxes. Strike Three
4. They consume natural resources like water that we Americans need. To add to that, they drive cars that consume gasoline. How many illegals are driving in America? Maybe 20 million out of the 40 million that are here? Imagine how much our demand for oil in this country would decline if 20 million drivers were no longer here. Price of oil will fall. Strike Four.

I could go on and on but I don't feel like writing a novel today.

Jack in the Box’s $4.20 Combo Deal Is Pure Stoner Pandering

Too bad nobody’s ever been so high it made them want to eat Jack in the Box

by Tim Forster@timothyjforster Dec 22, 2017, 2:16 pm EST

Jack in the Box’s Merry Munchie Meal Jack in the Box/Merry Jane

San Diego-based burger chain Jack in the Box is leaning into California’s impending legalization of marijuana, pairing with a Snoop Dogg–affiliated media company to launch a “merry munchie meal,” at the unsurprising price of $4.20.

Jack in the Box has paired with weed news site Merry Jane (hence the meal’s name) to stuff curly fries, onion rings, tacos, five mini churros, three chicken strips, and a drink into one greasy cardboard box, hoping to lure the red-eyed masses into thoughtlessly inhaling this hodgepodge of carbs.

But it’s perhaps more of a marketing gimmick than something truly novel for the chain: If one looks at the Merry Munchie Meal alongside Jack in the Box’s pre-existing “regular” Munchie Meals, it’s not really apparent which one is the meal intended for high folks, and which is for the normals. Both feature an overwhelmingly brown assortment of predominantly deep-fried wares. Perhaps surprisingly, the stoner version is the only Munchie Meal not to incorporate cheese into its offerings, despite the dairy product’s status as catnip for the bud-afflicted.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/M9r4...1.53.46_AM.png

One of these is apparently for stoners

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ZHSi...1.52.58_AM.png

While the other is not

To begin with, the special box will only be available at three Long Beach locations (it’s Snoop Dogg’s hometown).

According to Bloomberg, “legal weed may be just the thing to help [Jack in the Box] regain some buzz,” which seems a little presumptuous, given that a fairly wide range of fast food offerings beyond Jack in the Box also appeal to those under the influence of marijuana, though the chain is one of the first to actively market towards people with munchies. In any case, a hefty box of fried stuff for $4.20 is an okay deal.
