Seems like the employees at Burger King are angry that people go there and order burgers. They seem to usually hire terrible people.

Canes, In N Out, and Chick Fil A have the right formula. Their service is better and their restaurants are cleaner. People can overlook crowded dining rooms, higher prices, and tight parking if they don’t feel like the employees actively want to murder them.

Even their other big chain, Tim Hortons, has gone to complete shite.


I can’t decide if Tim Hortons or Dunkin suck more. They both sell stale donuts and terrible coffee. I don’t know how they stay open.

How odd. BK, and every other fast food chain, have impeccable service here.

I wonder what the difference is?

I think they focused on international expansion and let their domestic market stores flounder.

Budweiser, KFC, and Buick are other American brands that declined in America while they exploded abroad.

I bet if you put a whopper on a quality bun it would be pretty good.

I am not sure how McDonald's still does well. My guess is breakfast and coffee drinks.

McDonald's has the best breakfast of any chain and it ain't close.

Curious if anyone knows if these are terminations or buyouts?

1970's the BK on Scenic and Chippewa near Exxon Refinery was slow.
I wonder if that one is still there.

Whopper is supreme hamburger stuck in the most poorly run chain

A totally fresh one with extra pickles/onions is the best no doubt. No cheese.

Sadly the last times I've gone the buns have been old/dry, and think once they may have used one of those Impossible Burger paddies.

Also, seriously they are advertising for 2 Jrs for $5 like it's a great deal, when not to long ago you'd get 2 whoppers for that much.

Glad their woke ghey arses are getting a reality check though.

Many years ago I read that 20% of all blacks in the US eat at McD's at least once a week

One near me has a ball buster for a manager. The BEC biscuit is good and I like their coffee there. Service is good.

No Matter how good the service is I am not paying 11.00 for a fast food burger shitty fries and 6 ounces of drink.

I am surprised it took this long. Seriously, the BK closes to me rarely has customers. Even during busy hours, they will have some customers while everyone else is packed. And it isn't just that one location, I notice that in other areas that BK is the place that seems to always have the fewest customers.

A guy I know used to be a bread man and delivered to the one closest to me and a few others. One time he told me he stopped eating there.. At every location because of dirty their kitchens were. And something like that is on the managers. I wonder of BK doesn't hold their managers to the same standards as other fast food places?

But you have to really frick up somewhere to be an established fast food restaurant and have to shut down 400 locations.

AI is the only thing that can possibly save them. The staff ruined them at the local level.
