So Burger King is going to begin testing reusable containers. This will go over really well.

Customers will be offered a choice to go with old packaging or opt in for reusable packaging for menu items such as sandwiches, soft drinks and coffee. They can then return the reusable sandwich container or beverage cup to Burger King restaurants to be cleaned and reused. Those who opt-in will be charged a small deposit fee at the time of their purchase, and once the packaging is returned, their fee will be refunded to them.

Burger King is awful, their burgers have an overwhelming onion taste.

% of people that opt-in for this? <1%?

Maybe BK should focus on getting orders right and getting people through the line in less than 20 minutes before they start guiding the lily

Great timing to come out with this during a pandemic

So you have to pay more to get who knows what kind of dirty, germ infected container...and then you have to spend extra time to return it for the deposit.
This sort of virtue signaling is for people who likely don't even eat at BK.

They should try testing some edible food.

This might work since a lot of their customers leave the containers in the parking lot or neighboring lots.

All trends move down market eventually.
I was at Whole Foods for the first time in years this week. The coffee they were selling had eight different virtues attached - shade grown, rainforest safe, fair trade ... organic, it went on and on.
In the checkout line they were selling reusable shopping bags, covered in flair. It was straight out of office space. Buttons, pins, and ribbon graphics, touting local, organic, and whatever else is popular these days.

Yeah, because I trust your average fast food worker to clean those properly.
Posted on 10/22/20 at 8:43 am to cryptkeeper
great time to start this
Posted on 10/22/20 at 8:45 am to cryptkeeper
Because people that eat enough fast food to take advantage of reusable containers are also usually very environmentally conscious

So we are going to let the mouth breather making pennies an hour who is probably stoned be in charge of washing the "reusable" containers?
This during a time where I can't get my own fricking refill because of Covid? Or, I have to let them fondle around in the ketchup bin because getting may own my kill someone? Or, we literally have to tape bags closed to keep from, I'm not sure what?
But "reusable" containers or okay?
Doesn't matter, I haven't eaten that swill BK calls food in years, anway.

Worked with a guy that as a teenager worked at a cinema
They’d count popcorn bucket and drink cups before and after the shows to determine sales.
When they’d clean up, if some of the popcorn buckets and cups weren’t too dirty they’d wipe them down, put them back and take the money out of the register.
Never ate popcorn at a cinema again.
