So as I'm driving back from Brooklyn through the typical suspect areas because I'm now totally addicted to taking shortcuts via Waze, my tummy is doing the grumbles song and dance.
Fast food drive thru is the ticket and we pass a Wendys, the dulled yellow arches and I guess we were thinking exactly across the same lines. Because when Burger King appeared on the horizon, we just stared at each other at the red light like a couple of unfamiliar buffalos who suddenly came face to face out on a vast prairie somewhere.
Turning the rig into the lot and then around the rear, completely circumnavigating the strip, we finally reached the first glowing sign that gets you enticed with handsome burger pictures, then the second sign with names and prices, both lit up like a fire at a midnight circus.
I'm still kicking the chair for not getting cheese on my dern (my slang "darn") Whopper, however the filler meat combined with delightfully thick cut tomatoes. I never order French fries nor a beverage because I like to instead use that money to tip the window clerk -- all of whom look back at me after I quickly pull out some dollars, leaving a few in their hand like I'm preforming the magic trick of yanking the tablecloth out from under a fully set table of four, or is it two?

When I got to the window and had paid, I was told by a different person that they were out of onion rings and asked if I would like french fries instead. I already had 2 orders of fries in my order.

Read moreI had t-mobile tuesday coupon for a free whopper and the manager refused to give me any service because he said they don't hand out free food. Before talking to the manager, I spoke to the employee and she was agreeing to give it until she called the manager. The manager called the cops on me only because I refused to move because I wanted to order. His behavior was absolutely disgusting. This happened to me on November 4, 2020 at 4:50 p.m. I called the corporate and complained about him, I hope they hire someone who knows how to handle customer service. You guys should make someone manager who is worthy of handling that position with respect. Absolutely disgusting! I would've given 0 stars if there...
