OMG, I worked for Jack in the Box in the late 80s. I LOVED the laser disc training videos, they were BRILLIANT. I've been looking for copies of them for a long time. The videos discussing serving hot/cold food are hilarious.
Oh yes! Do you remember the hysterical "customer service" video around 1989? How to deal with rude customers? Like the drunk dude who demands ice cream? Or that old lady demanding to know why they put too much salt on the fries? Man, id love to see that one again. I worked at JIB from 1987-1994
They're not feeling well today , see they got the shits from the food served here yesterday. My Emily Post manners & training prohibit me from saying this aloud.
This video is hilarious because no suit and tie would ever work the food line. I love these training videos, except nowadays I'm not getting paid to watch them.
" When a customer comes in holding a chicken wearing a wedding dress, don't stare, just keep the friendly exchange going until the psychopath gets his OR her sandwich, that's the Jack In The Box difference "!
Deadly Dangers II and III were good but nothing can compare to the original. This is the classic that started the DD franchise!! I remember watching these late at night and being so scared I would poop my pants. Everytime.
I worked at Jack In The Box in 1985 and I went to the corporate headquarters for training when I became store manager at age 17. Oh the stories I could tell, I still remember my coworkers and customers from back then, the 80's was an incredible time in my life
"Deadly Dangers" is a riot! LOL Vincent Price's voice over is priceless. And again, the whole training video is laced with the music of the Network legends (Craig Palmer, Larry Owens and Clark Gault). I will say, if fast food was still this classy and clean, id eat it and enjoy going to em. Sad what society has become today :(
I have actually sat through this video when I first started at Jack n The Box. The vid was on VHS, Dubbed over spoken English with Spanish, with English sub titles. This is the same vid they used in 1995. Yes, I did catch the "bubbling firer" on fire. They ain't kiddin.
Thank you. I directed the first 10 or so training videos. Back then we did take all these issues very seriously. But I still wish corporate would have allowed the scriptwriter (me) some latitude with the actual dialog. Two of my daughters appeared in the video as customers. So did my then current girlfriend and current boss. "Laura" was a pro and worked on several projects with us. I am the guy "HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE SERVED BY THIS GUY".
In real life, a Panera employee I saw had "Enema" on her name tag. She was an immigrant from somewhere in the Balkans, I believe, and I understand that my language isn't the only one in the world. My name may mean who knows what in one of the hundreds of languages out there.
My first day 16 yrs old I sat in the back and watched a video like this one - the manager even said it’s not really like this. That was back in the mid-80s too…
vwestlife Yep. Even in nicer towns, JIB always seemed to find the seediest areas to build. I saw a guy get his nose kicked right off his face in the store at Newport Beach, CA., about three weeks after the grand opening.
+Pat Gawne I can believe it about the Newport Beach store, it it is the one off of Pch and Superior. I can believe it about that happening especially if it was the 4th of July weekend. Glad I only worked one year in that rest. a lot of things I prefer not to remember. lol
Thanks for this video. Interesting to see what JITB looked like in the before the whole Jack campaign in the mid-90's. It's visual identity at the time seemed pretty boring and generic!
'Study the manual; if you don't, then we reserve the right to discipline or even fire you. Just understand that if you do what we say, this will be a long-term relationship. Wear your visor.'
I worked at Jack in the Box back in 1998, and I watched a different training video (which also looked like it was made in the 80s). In the video, a cranky woman got mad after she went through the drive thru and saw that her taco had hot sauce on it even though she ordered a taco without hot sauce.🤣
Every fast food place is filled, they don’t have to be nice, they don’t care about quality, and who has time to clean? Save money by knowing the only reason your customer visited is because you’re conveniently on their way, and too tired to cook a meal. We’ve been correctly identified as cattle. Cattle with wallets.
Update: Yesterday I entered a Jack in the Box for the first time ever (they're new in our city). Many tables were messy, and the staff was lethargic, though I can't comment too much on the food; I ordered just fries and a soft drink. So 👎 for S and C.
Did Jack-in-the-Box employees really dress up for work like a Wall Street banker, or they're going to a wedding? (0:30) The deadly dangers near the end were really scary. When I was 18, I applied to work at Jack-in-the-Box. They didn't hire me. I guess I didn't meet their high standards. That's OK. I then applied at Taco Bell. They hired me. No deadly danger videos there. Much safer.
I really love these old timey training videos.
The sitcom intro where they turn to the camera is amazing

"Hi, Mrs Thompson, where are the twins ?" Oh, I can't imagine where they got THAT from !

Salad dressing packet.
Yes I thought the same!!
That's not a Ketchup Packet, that's a bloodbag!
Yeah that's red Italian salad dressing. Look at 2:09, she's eating with a fork.

JITB IS HQ'd in San Diego, you are aware of that, right? Plus this was the 80s.
when it's in a food court I guess. although that doesn't explain the tennis racket
LOL, well, its meant to imply that they are a good place to get hot food on the go when you are out shopping or doing whatever.
16:56 “Ted, wait! You could get hurt.”
Ted after breaking a hip on wet floor and slicing his fingers off: “what, me?”

After KFC, OCB, Wendy's , now i'm watching Jack in the box. Thx RUclips suggestions.
Me too!
Boy, there was one hell of a tonal shift between the "Quality Service Cleanliness" part and the "Deadly Dangers" portion!! lol
Why bring in a tennis racket and groceries? I've never witnessed people doing this.
Once you get to assistant managers that’s where the big bucks are. Right now I’m on salads.
I'm on toilets
The bacon cheddar Potato Wedges are my favorite fast food item of all time. If Jack in the Box stops those, I will rage
Have you tried the lasagna? It's my favorite.
Deadly Dangers is a Vincent Price classic! Amazing to find this, I've been looking for years.
Thank you for posting it.
The Deadly Danger section was scarier than most horror movies.
Deadly Dangers II and III were good but nothing can compare to the original. This is the classic that started the DD franchise!! I remember watching these late at night and being so scared I would poop my pants. Everytime.
@9:21..."Sure, you can stay out past midnight".....Aww gee, THANX Mom!
The audio and video on this are super well persevered. No watermarks or black bars. Love it, 11/10
It’s in the wrong frame rate though because I didn’t know how to do that when I uploaded this, will redo it eventually.
Persevere in preserving 😉.
"@4:06 - "Hi, Mr Timpson ! Have you been playing squash today ?" "Wow, you guys' percpetion never fails to amaze me !"
I've never been to a Jack In The Box, but I remember it being an actual "outing" to to a fast food joint in the '80s.
5:09. “Sure, no problem...did you catch the game last night?”

Lol, training. I'm the only person on my shift who got trained at all, everyone else just got tossed in.

They need to bring these training videos back. You NEVER see this kind of service anymore.
You didn't see it back then either
Probably because of the below poverty wages and entitled Karens
@@shazbot316 American workers are overpaid if anything, considering how poor the average service is.
@@ダニエル-x5d False.

Him:
I expected to see ALF in that opening sequence!
Foodmaker. Never heard of 'em.
Was the corporate name of Jack in the Box back in the ‘80s.
For minimum wage and crap conditions, they seem to expect a lot!
Pretty decent falls that the stunt man did in this video.
10:29 getting ready to weld some burgers.
Did fast food places ever really train people like this? My experience was always just getting thrown to the wolves.
Back at age 18 I did. It was my first job and I was proud to be making money...that pride didn’t last very long...I only made $5.75/hr in 1998.
My first day 16 yrs old I sat in the back and watched a video like this one - the manager even said it’s not really like this. That was back in the mid-80s too…
Some of those security guidelines seem like a tacit admission that their restaurants were in high-crime areas!
vwestlife Yep. Even in nicer towns, JIB always seemed to find the seediest areas to build. I saw a guy get his nose kicked right off his face in the store at Newport Beach, CA., about three weeks after the grand opening.
+vwestlife this is all pretty standard stuff. never worked JITB but this is all stuff I have heard working at other places.

'How can we possibly shovel more quality food down their throats?' Lol
Here at Jack in the Box, we make the extra effort to please our guests 🤣😂🤣😅😆😁
If it weren’t that I like the food I’d never go there. The service is beyond awful.

To be successful in this business you need quality food, great customer & a clean dining environment. Can anyone tell me WHERE such a place exists?
Every fast food place is filled, they don’t have to be nice, they don’t care about quality, and who has time to clean?
Save money by knowing the only reason your customer visited is because you’re conveniently on their way, and too tired to cook a meal.
