I went to Burger King today to claim my free Whopper from T Mobile Tuesday. It was not a great experience. You need the BK app to redeem the offer, but it wasn't working after I installed it. I thought "surely that's just a formality and they'll still honor the offer" since I could prove I have it from T Mobile. Apparently not.
The cashier was nice enough when I explained my situation, but when she called her shift manager for help, she simply told me to try ordering via the app. I reiterated that the app wasn't working and told her what I had tried. Her reply was "Sorry, that's how it is". Period. No offer to help, no apology, no acceptance of the offer. Granted, it was busy and for all she knew I wasn't a paying customer (though I was going to purchase additional items), but wow is that terrible management. I say this having worked in food service for 6 years.

Not necessarily blaming the individual employee; it's not your fault you're not being properly trained or overseen. I managed a Burger King through college and could not imagine taking zero pride in my work or my location like this. I don't care you gave me a free sandwich to apologize for not giving me severely overpriced cheese on my sandwich for the THIRD TIME at the SAME LOCATION. Not to mention it has happened so many times at locations across the US that I have encouraged my boyfriend to sit in the drive through and check for this specific instance every single time, or he would have brought home a sandwich that disappointed me and was too late to return. BK is sending a "screw the customers" message real strong with this location. Do better than giving me something I don't want and didn't order that costs more than an hour of...
Read moreLast night around 8 PM, I had an extraordinary experience at Burger King in Carlisle, all thanks to Lupe, the assistant manager. Despite the frenzy of a bustling drive-thru and dining area, I was amazed by Lupe's incredible efficiency. Her ability to remain calm and deliver exceptional service with a smile was truly impressive.
Lupe's leadership was evident as she efficiently managed her team through the busy evening rush. Despite the challenges, her positivity and dedication shone through, creating a welcoming environment for everyone.
