Hi OzBargainers

The new promotion for Whopper with free fries and coke is a scam. On the menu it does not state any surcharge when adding, but I was charged 2x cheese for adding 1x cheese. I ask the vender and they said it’s in the terms and condition but they did not state it on their menu that you would be charged a premium surcharge for 1x cheese on this promotion.

Everyone is getting tricked when they add cheese and being charged double. Normally they only charge 1x cheese

Just wanted a community update for OzBargain frugal Hungry Jacks munchers #doublecheese

“Thank you” for promoting the thread

Update: From Hungry Jack's Rep:

Sorry for the confusion a cheese add-on to our standard flame-grilled Whopper consists of two slices of cheese which is why “2 x Cheese” appears on your receipt. We really appreciate you making us aware of the confusion, we have changed our receipts, from now on they will say “2 Cheese Slices” starting from 8.2.18.

    Tell them by consumer Law they must charge the lowest advertised price. Then pull your pants down do the helicopter and get free macas at the holding cell.

    This must be happening to others that do they check the receipt

    Check your whopper again. There are two pieces of cheese on it. Each one costs 50 cents, I believe. No one is making you add anything.

      I checked single cheese. Hj vender says they have to charge 2 cheese for the promotion, however their promotion does not visible state anywhere that there is a surcharge for what normally cost of 1 cheese

    A whopper without cheese is the crime

  • Gronk on 03/02/2018 - 15:55

    You should sue them for an amount equal to 1 (one) slice of cheese, preferably cheddar but if they play hard ball and offer american I'd still take it…

    this has become a whopper of a thread

  • bonezAU on 03/02/2018 - 16:17

    OP, are you sure there's not two slices of cheese? They melt together pretty well in the microwave.
    If it is just a single slice, it would not cover the burger patty in full, there'd be a decent part of the patty with no cheese on it.

    Maybe DoubleCheesgate is what this guy was on about Please Check Your Credit / Debit Cards for Unauthorised Transactions if You Used Them in Hungry Jack’s. He may have meant to check your hamburger.

      or be funny. Just don't spam the same joke repeatedly. Resist the compulsion. Rise above it, be original

      • ego22 on 05/02/2018 - 17:13

        no thanks

  • SomeBooy on 03/02/2018 - 22:19

    It is 100% two slices of cheese for every 5 inch burger. You should be watching for them charging more per slice of cheese (like their election day $4 whoppers, $1 per slice of cheese). But it is 100% 2 slices of cheese for whoppers.

    • tradiesunited on 04/02/2018 - 10:51

      I spoke to the hungry jacks vender and she explained as above 1 cheese is 50c and only 1 slice. If you want 2 slice you have to state extra

      • SomeBooy on 04/02/2018 - 12:23
        +1

        Then she is misinformed. 5 inch burger ALWAYS have 2 slices of cheese as default if you request cheese.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2018 - 16:05

        Did you also speak to the vendor?

      You mean middle aged people trying to stay relevant recycling the same 3 memes over and over again?

        'Middle aged' people like me enjoy these in-jokes, reminds me how long we've been part of the Ozb community.
        Just your comment made me smile remembering the high yield investment car for the Westpac 'finance' guy.

        Oh - and for the OP.
        Thanks for the info, but as a hardcore Ozbargainer, I would never pay for an 'extra' on a Whopper - that tilts the value for money balance ;)

        • cannedhams on 06/02/2018 - 10:29

          Yeah the high yield westpac guy never gets old.

        Or even better Bikies who have 80,000 high yield investment car that run on eneloops. Classy
