MAN! Jack in the Box! That's something I miss about not living in CA anymore. I used to love those those greasy things they called "regular tacos". Nothing could beat those late at night.
I don't expect much from the drive through. I figure if it's food that's approximate in value to what I payed, I'll eat it and be happy I have a meal. I suppose I should expect better service and all, but I really don't care much about it. If I want service and high quality food, I'll go to a higher quality place.
Don't bother going back to that particular joint. Generally speaking, all the workers are hired from the same population base. The difference is in who does the hiring, training, leading and firing. That particular fast-food place probably will have bad service no matter what time or who's working. It's not worth the bother.
Your experience at two of the same restaurants may be telling you something about the company itself.
