A secret strategy to pay much less for a hamburger in N-Out no longer exists.
The order trick, used by some clients to pay only a fraction of the price of one of the secret burgers of the popular restaurant chain, has been eliminated after corporate officers seem to have captured the solution to work.
A popular hamburger known as the “Flying Dutchman” consists of two meat empanadas and two cheese slices, without bun. However, you will not find it in the menu of the hamburger chain because it is one of the elements of the In-N-Out secret menu.
In California restaurants, the hamburger is sold for $ 5.50, which is a few cents less than the popular “double-double”.
However, some customers would simply ask for two empanadas and two cheese slices, giving them a discount almost half of what is essentially a flying Dutch without asking for it.
According to a memorandum published in Reddit this week, it appears on the trick and has moved to change prices in individual empanadas and cheese slices in response.
Sfgate first reported on the memorandum.
“The new price of a meat and cheese empanada will align with the price of the flying Dutchman: an empanada of meat and cheese will be half the price of a flying Dutchman,” according to the March 20 memorandum of the director of operations of In-N-Out Denny Warnick.
That means that two empanadas and two cheese slices, the equivalent of a flying Dutch, will be charged at the price of a flying Dutch.
However, the price of adding a single empanada or a slice of cheese to a typical hamburger will not change.
In-n-out did not confirm the veracity of the Memo and did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
On the other hand, the Times confirmed the price change in an entry in Glendale, where two meat empanadas and two cheese slices cost $ 5.50, the cost of a flying Dutch.
However, adding a pie and a slice of cheese to another hamburger was cheaper, adding a total of $ 1.85 at the price.
In the unconfirmed memorandum, Warnick points out that the new price changes could confuse and alter some customers.
“Please be sensitive to any disappointment in the name of our clients,” says the Memo. “They are our number one, and this change can take them by surprise.”
