Drive-thru worker admits there really is no Jack, prefers new ĪChipotle'
ADAM: Welcome to Jack-in-the-Box, can I take your order?
WILDCAT: Yes, is Jack in?
ADAM: Excuse me?
WILDCAT: May I speak with Mr. Box?
ADAM: What?
WILDCAT: Do you get that question very often? I'm sure you do.
ADAM: No, actually I don't get that question a lot.
WILDCAT: Really? That is strange to me that I am one of the few people that would think that's a funny question to ask.
ADAM: Please pull up to the window.
WILDCAT: Um · OK. So Adam, what is the most common thing ordered here?
ADAM: That would have to be the Jumbo Jack.
WILDCAT: Very interesting. Are you a big fan of the Jumbo Jack?
ADAM: Um, not really.
WILDCAT: I can't believe you just said that. That's like blasphemy here at Jack-in-the-Box. So what is your sandwich of choice?
ADAM: My favorite thing is the Chipotle chicken.
WILDCAT: Isn't that one of the new sandwiches?
ADAM: Yeah.
WILDCAT: Are you required to say you like it so that more people buy it?
ADAM: No, I really like it.
WILDCAT: So, have you ever met Jack?
ADAM: Um · there really is no Jack.
WILDCAT: What? I can't believe that. There's no Jack?
ADAM: There's no Jack. I'm sorry.
WILDCAT: See, I have this picture in my mind of Jack and Ronald McDonald and the Burger King all chillin' together. But I guess I am mistaken.
ADAM: Yeah.
WILDCAT: Wait a second. I see what's going on here. Really, Jack is like Batman and he hides his real identity during the day, but becomes Jack when necessary, like in advertising campaigns.
ADAM: Exactly.
WILDCAT: For all I know you could be Jack.
ADAM: Yeah, but I'm not Jack. Sorry.
WILDCAT: I'm not buying it. Well, I'll let you get back to the box cave.
ADAM: Are you going to buy anything?
WILDCAT: OK, bye.
