Burger King Strikes Again (Only This Time I Struck Back)

Today was a busy and somewhat stressful day after a full day (yesterday) of sleeping due to being sick. In the midst of making phone calls about jobs and running around getting copies made of job applications, I realized I hadn’t eaten lunch.

Instead of coming right home after I got the copies made (Lazer Quick ROCKS, by the way) I stopped by Burger King.

Now I hate ketchup and lettuce on my burgers, and I really am not all that fond of mayonnaise either.

So I ordered my usual double Whopper with cheese and bacon, no ketchup, no lettuce, easy mayonnaise, heavy onion and heavy pickles.

I was charged extra for the bacon which becomes important to the story a little later on.

When I get home, I take my Whopper out of the sack.

Even before I unwrap it something feels off or wrong, and when I unwrap it I figure out what is wrong.

I have a lot of pickles, a lot of onions, a little bit of mayonnaise, and a SINGLE meat patty with cheese and NO bacon at all.

I paid $5.19 for a double Whopper with cheese and bacon.

A single Whopper with cheese and no bacon is around $2.99; I’ve been massively overcharged for this sandwich.

Now normally I simply grumble a lot (to myself and/or to online friends) when fast food orders get messed up, but this one just made me angry. So I turned around and drove right back to Burger King.

It got even better when I arrived at Burger King, sandwich in hand. The cashier who originally took my order reads the receipt and we both agree she rang it up correctly.

She tells the cook she needs a ‘customer service’ on my order. He says, ‘Oh yeah, I knew I forgot the bacon on that one.’

I don’t know who was more shocked, the cashier or me.

She says, ‘You KNEW you forgot the bacon yet you said/did nothing and just wrapped it up?”

She then has to read the order to him twice because he’s also insisting it wasn’t a double Whopper in the first place.

I then watch this guy fix my double Whopper. I doubt he had a clue I could see every move he made either.

He’s so angry at the cashier and at me that when he gets done, he literally throws the wrapped double Whopper on the shelf.

Is this guy going to be a cook at Burger King much longer? I DON’T THINK SO!!
