A secret strategy to pay much less for an in-n-out hamburger is no longer.
Order hacking, used by some customers to pay a fraction of the price of one of the secret hamburgers of the popular restaurant chain, was deleted after business officers seem to have taken the sneaky yield.
A popular hamburger known as “Flying Dutchman” consists of two beef pancakes and two slices of cheese, without bread. However, you will not find it in the menu of the Burger chain, because it is one of the elements of the secret in-n-out menu.
In California restaurants, the hamburger sells $ 5.50, a few hundred less than the popular “double-double”.
Some customers, however, would simply order two pancakes and two slices of cheese, giving them a more than half a discount on what is essentially a “flying Dutch” without ordering it by name.
According to a note published on Reddit earlier this week, it seems that in-N-out has taken harassment and decided to modify the prices of individual pancakes and cheese slices in response.
SFGATE reported the note for the first time.
“The new price of a meat and cheese pancake will be aligned with Dutch flying prices-a meat and cheese pancake will be half the price of a flying Dutchman,” according to the March 20 of the in-n-out operations chief, Denny Warnick.
This essentially means that ordering two pancakes and two slices of cheese – the equivalent of a “flying Dutch” – will be billed at the cost of a “flying Dutch”.
However, the price of adding a single pancake or cheese slice 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 for comments from the Los Angeles Times.
Instead, the Times confirmed the price change in an in-n-out in Glendale, where two beef pancakes and two cheese slices cost $ 5.50-the cost of a “flying Dutch”.
The addition of a pancake and a slice of cheese to another hamburger, however, ran cheaper, adding a total of $ 1.85 to the price.
In unconfirmed memo, Warnick notes that new price changes could confuse and upset certain customers.
“Please be sensitive to any disappointment on behalf of our customers,” said the note. “They are our number one, and this change can take them by surprise.”
