Burger King is a childhood favorite, even hearing the name of the burger joint brings to mind Double Whoppers with cheese, extra tomato, no mayo or onion. I love Burger King from early in life and it's been an enduring love.
That's why this little scenario is so bothersome to me. You see, I walked into the BK, thinking happily of lunch and inhaling with somewhat creepy greed at the old familiar smells: flame broiled burgers, fries, chicken, bread, and freshly chopped veggies. I was so absorbed with smelling the smells at first and fondly remembering a much younger, more carefree time in life that I didn't realize that no one (and I do mean NO ONE) had noticed I'd even walked in the front door. The staff wasn't even aware that I was there.
Ladies and Gents, I know I tend to be a little soft spoken, just ask my boyfriend, who's always asking me to repeat myself. Poor guy. This level of unawareness, howver was a trifle troublesome and even though I worried about it (how were they going to make my burger my way, right away if they weren't paying any frigging attention?) I stepped forward to order my food with my eyes trained studiously on the monitor to make sure they got it right. I don't like to send food back with a complaint because let's face it, they handle my food.
So when they got it right the first time, ladies and gentlemen, I wasn't just relieved, I was elated. I'd prefer to choke it down and grin and bear it than send food back. I've seen and heard the horror stories, folks and a girl does what she must in the end.
That meal was their saving grace in the end, everyone. It was perfection, ambrosia, and nirvana all rolled into one and neatly giftwrapped for my convenience and delectation. Long live the Whopper, everyone... Replace the staff at that store... Maybe with people with good hearing or...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was recently in this establishment on Sunday May 26, 2024 to have quick breakfast. I go to this location often because itās so close to home and their food is usually up to par. As my wife, son and I were leaving we filled my sonās cup with lemonade and not even 20 seconds later an employee comes from behind the counter accusing me of stealing. She told us since we didnāt purchase a drink we couldnāt fill our cup with lemonade. My wife told her we did purchase the cup to which she replied āreally? When?ā. We left but I found the receipt as I got into my car and I went back in to the restaurant to show her I did in fact purchase this drink and I politely let her know I donāt like being accused of stealing. She said it was āokayā, itās not okay to be accused of stealing when clearly we purchased the drink, meanwhile they have homeless people sleeping inside on the table. The whole 30 minutes I was there this person had bags of food (empty? full? Idk) all over the table as they slept. Not to mention the floor was sticky and made a flick noise every time we...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreCame here for lunch on Saturday because it was convenient in the direction I was headed. I ordered the Junior Whopper. Fries and soda. Five bucks . I don't know what Burger King has done to their food but it's disgusting. The fries were okay and the coke was good. But the hamburger was absolutely horrible. I don't know what they're using for meat but it sure isn't hamburger. I've had the junior Whoppers in the past and I've always been pretty good. But this was horrible. A few days earlier at a different Burger King I ordered their small hamburgers two for 3.29. It's the same disgusting meat that they use in the Whopper Junior. I tried to call customer service to let them know what I thought about their food but the call center is ran by people with heavy Middle Eastern accents. so I didn't even bother. I'll stick...
