I was crying inside the Burger King because I was having a really rough day. My snot was dripping down so much that it looked like yellow ketchup on my fries. An employee noticed my teary eyes, so he offered me a napkin to wipe them away. He said, “What’s wrong, buddy?” I told him, “My friend Luigi is in deep trouble, and I don’t know what to do.” He sighed, stared at me, and said, “I know what you’re going through. Your secrets stay safe with me.”
Then I proceeded to have a 10-hour conversation where I talked about my deepest, darkest secrets to this employee—stuff that I’d kept bottled up in my chest for so long that I felt a physical release when I could share what I did with him. I was so worried that I would be judged, punished, or humiliated. But he listened with open ears without a big reaction, just a nod and a sense of “I understand you and I forgive you.” And I know he kept his word because I’m not in jail.
Needless to say, the McDonald’s down the street didn’t have a guy like I had in Burger King. Last I heard my friend was talking to a guy named Remy… apparently had buck teeth and spilt a lot of beans… weird because I didn’t think McDonald’s had beans.
Anyway, the burgers were great—charbroiled,...
Read moreI've been to nice about this place to many times. There have been so many times that I've gone to get something and they've either been drive thru only for one reason or another and I've had to go most of the day with nothing to eat until my break and I've been fine with it but after today I've had enough. I ran in just to grab a thing of fries to get something to eat real quick apparently something happened to the one card reader and it stopped working. Instead of hoping on the other register that I'm assuming has a working card reader they used the drive thru card for the guy ahead of me and then turned and told me that I had to have cash. So because the reader didn't mess up when I ordered I have to go out of my way to go find an ATM since they don't have one anywhere in the building? What's wrong with the card reader on the other register? If you're not going to use it then why even have it plugged in. I don't see why you couldn't have swiped my card in the drive thru like you did for the guy ahead of me. Now everyone is going to have to either waste their time hopping back into their cars and going through the drive thru or make sure they have cash on them which...
Read moreMy daughters and I decided to eat BK (Altoona, PA) on 12/27/24 in the evening since we were close to this location at the time. We ordered and waited for our meals to be prepped. We received our order only to later find one of the workers hair inside of a chicken sandwich. It was replaced but still unacceptable. The next day we all started experiencing sickness from Nausea, Abdominal pains, Vomiting, and Diarrhea. Another worker (appeared to be the cook) was the only one wearing a mask and was probably Ill, yet still making orders. We are still recovering from this awful experience. I encourage other customers to be more mindful than we were, but we were hungry and didn't think we would be affected in this way. I currently do not recommend...
