In modern, industrialized farming, yes.
What happens if you take a cow, put it in a feedlot and feed it only grain and corn with no antibiotics?

Only feeding grain with no roughage isn't a thing unless you are using an intake limiter which is very uncommon today (and those intake limiters aren't antibiotics, oils usually). There are plenty of cattle fed finishing diets without antibiotics. To add to that, there isn't some massive amount of antibiotics being fed regardless of what program they are on. And no finishing cattle are switched over to a grass based diet prior to slaughter.
Grain-based diets are also far more beneficial for the environment if you want to look at methane emissions as well. The amount of methane produced per unit of meat or milk is far less than in a purely grass based system.

Hardly any customers, terrible customer interface practices, and sometimes “sorry, no whopper meat”.

A thread about BK and you bring up Trump. It must be exhausting to be you. People like you need help
To be fair Trump did put Burger King at a disadvantage. See back in 2013-14 Obama was in the White House and corporate taxes were high (39%)
So Burger King realized if they merged with an Canadian company and established headquarters there, they would pay have a tax rate of 26% (Canada) instead of 39% in the United States. So Restaurant Brands International a Canadian company owns Burger King (and Popeyes).
The Trump became President and lowered the corporate tax rate to 21%. So Burger King left the country and now has to pay a tax rate 24% higher than McDonalds, Arby's, and Chic-fil-a.

Ah yes and we'll let our 10 year old meat shop workers cut our meat.

Cows have not evolved to eat a grain and corn diet. You will never convince a cow to eat corn and grain over grass if they are given the option. That diet will eventually kill them if we don't do unnatural things to keep the cow alive while it is being force fed an unnatural diet.
Sure, we like to grow them as big and fat as possible, and the cheapest and fastest way to do that is corn. Thanks to farm subsidies feedlots can buy that corn cheaper than it costs for farmers to grow it. The grain/corn diet only came into being when our farmers got ahold of chemical fertilizers and started producing huge surpluses of corn. We've to do something with it so, we pile thousands of cows into feedlots and force feed them grain/corn diets that they are not evolved to eat.
I will concede that I was wrong about the grass feeding prior to slaughter. However, the drugs given to cows must be managed closely, as some are not at all good for human consumption.

I can't speak for other states, but any Burger King in Louisiana is fricking disgusting. The stores are filthy, the workers are a joke, and the food is completely below standard for what I'm sure Burger King's corporate office would want them to be serving.

They should be made to pay back the billions, if not trillions in environmental damages they’re responsible for then, right? Why not put your money where your virtue signaling mouth is?

Used to definitely love Burger King, now it's just complete trash. Everything about it. Terrible food, unclean restaurants, ugly uniforms, terrible attitude from workers, bad advertising. Everything about Burger King sucks. Haven't been to one in years.

It is similar to living in Michigan and being able to go to a grocery store and buy a ripe tomato in the middle of December.
We use unnatural products to force a plant to do unnatural things. Pick a tomato green in Florida, truck it to a packing plant, put it in a crate, close the crate, gas it, and ship it. When it arrives in Michigan and the crate is opened, that tomato, and all the rest will be "ripe". It is the reason a tomato can fall off a harvest truck going 60 mph down a highway, hit the grown, and not even have a bruise on it. It is also the reason that you are hard pressed to buy a decent tomato in a store.

And is it just me, or does it look like they went to the local mission to find a group of homeless people to run the store? No matter where you go. Even the manager. Hell, sometimes the manager is the worst one of the bunch.
