They both seem to hire the most ghetto, lazy, ignorant employees they can. I always wonder if they actually seek out ghetto peeps. There is a mcdonalds a mile down from the bk and popeye's that has some excellent employees who also happen to be black, but they're helpful, courteous, and friendly.

I also just tend to think that BK hires the worst workers no matter what the demographic of the kitchen is. I've eaten BK's with a bunch of white people working and they have been the worst service I've had.
Which is like I said earlier. It isn't the color of the crew or their perceived "ghettoness". BK must have the shittiest environment and managerial programs out there. Contrastingly, Chik-Fil-A and Cane's must have the best.

I don't like Burger King because I don't like that "flamebroiled" taste they work so hard for
I know that's the point and some people love that, but I find it tastes like liquid smoke. Plus, their burgers are smothered in mayo. I love mayo on sandwiches, but not all over a burger.

Burger King was the best 10-20 yrs ago. When I do go now the buns seem stale and the service is terrible. If BK had canes employees and management that gave a shite they would be the best IMO.

It makes you wonder who the heck owns these franchise lic?

And if you have the money to buy into a B.K. franchise, why aren't you more hands on?

They must live out of town and never visit their stores. They don't even see who their managers hire for these minimum wage jobs.

I'd like to see somebody manage one well, and make a frick ton of money!

The BK near me in ATL just re-opened after being torn down and rebuilt.

They turned into like a club-ish type fast food restaurant. Kind of hard to explain but imagine a very trendy/modern looking BK with flat screens and club style furniture with a very advanced soda fountain.

I honestly dont remember if the service was good or bad which probably means it was okay

This is what I don't understand. You would think they would visit their stores as a customer and see how terrible the service is.

When I was growing up in the 80's most fast food chains had highschool employees. Now it seems there are more 30+ yr old workers that don't give a shite. Thankfully I don't frequent FF restaurants very often b/c I got sick of the service.

Everyone's favorite Chick Fil A has screwed up my order twp of the last three times I went. Last night they shorted me a sandwich.
And their tortilla soup gave me the bubbling guts.

=My favorite fast food burger. It usually takes longer than most places but it's always hot. I don't go to BK anymore and very rarely McDonalds or Popeyes.

Popeye's employees are obviously dumb as rocks but at least its worth the wait... BK is definitely not worth the hassle or wait.

Nobody has said this but McDonald's in Baton Rouge has really gone downhill over the past few years. So much so that I avoid going -- even if I need a quick meal on the go. The difference between these and the locations in Texas are unbelievable.

Ok HeadSlash, here is the review of the ULL Burger King at 1500 Johnston St in Laffy.

12:38: Pulled up in drive thru line. 4 cars ahead of me, so far so good.

12:41: Made it to loudspeaker.
Her: "Welcome to Burger King. Would you like to try our new angus beef and bacon burger"?
Me: "No thanks, a number 9, regular size and diet coke" (old oblong chicken sandwich). Then feeling brave and for the hell of it, I ask:
Me: "Can you add tomatoes to that"?
Her: "Sure, that will be 25 cents extra. Your total comes to $6.95.
Me: "Never mind the tomatoes then"
Her: "Ok sir, your total comes to $6.95"
Me: Said nothing, bite tongue, shite eating grin on my face.

12:44: Pull up to window #1 to pay. Older caucasion lady, hands look like she'd lost a hand to hand battle with a set of sharp cuticle sizzors. 7 or 8, quarter inch cuts on hands, not bleeding, not bandaged, couple days old. Cuticle sizzors kicked arse. Didnt have the guts to ask her what that was all about. Pay her the $6.95, screw the 25 cent tomatoe thing.

12:48: Pull up to window #2 for food. Now things get fun. New, older lady tries to hand me 2 water bottles, 2 X-tra large drinks and 3 bags of food.
Me: "Ma'am, thats not my order. I had a regular sized diet coke and a number 9"
Her: "You sure, bebeyyy"
Me: "Yes Ma'am, Im sure". At this point, she mutters something and closes the window. Opens window a few seconds later and says
Her: "You sure thats not yours"
Me: "Yes ma'am, Im sure". She closes window again. Opens it a few moments later.
Her: "I'm sorry bebeyyy, we gots out of order here. We gonna have to start on yours again. Could you pull up and wait a minute"
Me: "Yes ma'am, but not too long ok"
Her: "Ok Bebeyyy"

12:53 Another lady sashays out to the car
Her: "We sorry bout that. Heres your food"
Me: (just to be a smart arse and to test her)"Did they add the tomatoes to that".
Her: "Oh yeah, yes sir, I seen em"
Me: "Ok, thanks"

1:01 Back at the office. Its been so long, I forgot how bad Burger King really tastes. And the bitch lied, NO TOMATOES!!!

I would have taken the food the second time.
