Burger King Complaints Continued... (Page 11)

I went to the burger king in lady lake, fl tonight. First thing I see when I walkedin was a messy and dirty dinning room. The manager (natalie) looked like she just crawled out of bed. Look like she had two open wounds on her left arm. A friend that was there with me said it could have been a tattoo. If it was a tattoo, it should have been covered up. Then as we ordered our meals, it was like talking to a robot. For a manager to be on the front counter. But as I said, not very friendly. She noticed a burning smell Natlie walked in the back to take care of it and find out what was burning. When another employee came up to the front I ordered a Double Stacker without chesse.

Both my friend’s order and mine came up so we grabbed it and went to sit down. My Double Stacker had chesse on it. My friend’s onion rings were cold, and her fish sticks could be used as hockey pucks. Now we know what the burning smell was. So, I bring my sandwich back up to the counter and speak with Natalie. I tell her I make sure that I can’t have cheese because I am allergic to it. My friend’s and two other customer’s said they heard me ask for it with no cheese. Natalie did replace the sandwich about 20 minutes later.
Also when I was at the counter there was an older couple, that had ordered a cup of coffee.

I saw Natalie explain how to brew a pot of coffee. which did no good, because Natalie had to go over and make it herself. I can understand have to make a new pot of coffee, but what i couldn’t understand was the way she(natalie) was talking to the older couple. Natalie asked them what they were waiting for and told then that she had to make a new pot, but the man didn’t hear her(remember old man in the old age center of florida), she turned and looked at and said she had to brew another pot like he was 2 years old. And then not so politely told them that they could go sit down and she would bring it out to them. The older couple was so upset over that, they didn’t even wait to get there coffee. Just walked out.

Customer Service was and always is number 1 in the fast food industry. I know for a fact that I will not go back there again. And, I would even venture to say that the older couple will not go back there. And, this is coming from a former emloyee of yours.

Hi, my husband I went to the Burger King in Ocala Florida. There was only one other car ahead of us in drive-thru. So, when we got up to the mirocphone we sat there and sat there. It,wasnt until my husband said “hello excuse ” (and my husband wasnt rude)then we got an employee to answer us. But, she did even greet us. All, she said to us was to us was “go ahead” and nothing else. Now, I have been working with the public since I was 16. I could never ever speak to a customer the way this young girl did. And, the one thing that you ALWAYS do is greet a customer.

We, got to the Burger King at 8:05/our order number was 25/ an this happened on October 2,2011. At, the Burger King store # 6095/the address is 2900 S.E. 36th Ave Ocala Fl 34471 Someone needs to speak to this young lady about her customer service skills or lack there of!!! We, just wanted this brought to your attention. Thank you very much

Kim and Tom Land.

We called in to your Pease Pottage outlet at 0926. The “service” was apalling,the two behind the counter one called Ryan Norris, the other,wearing a rather sad looking grey T Shirt, were most incompetent and it was very hard to make them understand our order.I was asked three times what sort of burger I wanted until,finally,I got through to him my request. I also asked for a small coffee only to be told that I would have to wait for the machine to fire up.I would have thought that by 0926 in the morning all should be up and running.

I then asked for tea instead but was told the same,so I had to settle for some wretched cold drink.I finally got my “meal”, got to the table only to be disappointed further as the fries were cold.This is the second time it has happened as we called in approx.a year ago on our way to London and the service was the same.I thought that, after a year, things would improve but I was wrong.My brother was with me and his experience was the same.He ordered a Whopper and large fries,got to the table,opened the bag and they had forgotten the Whopper.Crass!

Also,the prices were steep too. £2.19 for fries,£6.29 for Whopper and £3.24 for a little Cheeseburger is over the top.Then,at the bottom of the receipt, it tells me that “The Value Meal Savings” were £2.18. which means that the gross would have been £11.71.All for a Whopper,fries,regular Cheese burger and cold drink. Are the prices loaded for the position of the site,i.e. near the motorway thereby you have a captive trade as I’ve never paid these prices at other outlets?

My receipt number was #8020 and the outlet number is 10106. We were definitely not impressed and there was no one to complain to at the time,hence this letter of complaint. I’ve added a copy of our receipts for your perusal and proof of our visit.We will,in future,unless you can assure us that things will change,use McDonalds,as in the past we’ve always had good service,hot food and reasonable prices.

I stopped at Burger king store number 12033 located on 1670 Eastchase Prky, Fort Worth, TX, 761112 phone number 817-226-1447 to have a Dinner with my Fiancee at 9:33pm on Sept/15/2011 soon I got to the door that was locked, there was customers inside eating but doors was locked, I knocked but nobody came to attend us, so I got back into my car me and my Fiancee, and went to drive through once we got to place our order ANOTHER SURPRISE. We had a coupon for to complete our order and enjoy our meal when they said we couldn’t use that coupon.

When we start to complain about they closed earlier and we were allowed to use the coupon they said they closed earlier because they manager Mr Gabriel said so. Also he said not to accept the coupon because were two coupon and we were driving one car, so then I asked to talk to the manager he came abusive and rude saying that he didn’t have time to argue with us and also asked us to live from the window.

So I asked them to give the store number and the manager name suddenly Mr David came from behind his manager and verbal abusing closed the drive through window locking my arm between the two parts and started pushing my arm out so he could close completely and tell me to leave. So now is this the type of customer service Burger King train they stuff to do?

Please I would like to have some feedback on this Employees attitude.

Why is the Sheppard AFB BK the slowest I have ever seen. The drive through is rarely open. The service is very slow and I have yet to see more the 3 people working there. I had to walk I with two toddlers to order their meal because as I said the drive through wad closed. No biggie needed the exercise. But I placed my order at 635 pm (according to the receipt) an they it took them 23 min just to get me 2 hamburger kids meals. The total number of people in the BK ordering food was 3 both of them ordered on meal each and I was the third.

I have been to BK 3 times in the last 2 months. Figued after the first time or 2, it was just a fluke, and would get better NOT!!! The first 2 times were fairly late evening, no one in the store, and the order took inordinately long — like someone was out back slaughtering the beef. Today my son cleaned a table for us, and afterward I asked the manager to clean the soda station (completely fouled with spilled sodas and straws and sloppy ketchup–ick). Also every table in the place needed cleaning. No one in their right mind would want to eat in this place. Unfortunately for you people, this is not at all what patrons want to see, or how they expect to get served in a FAST FOOD place.

Next door at McDonalds, they have it down pat. Take note.

I don’t generally get up in a tizzy about the occassional foul up at a fast food place, it goes with the territory so to speak. However, if Burger King is trying to get more business, it appears they may be taking one step forward and two back. My wife and I are senior citizens, and we like to find a coupon or bargain as much or more than most. We got a coupon booklet from BURGER KING in the mail today, and were excited to see a new “california whopper” and the coupon for buy one get one free made it even more appealing. We had pretty much quit our local BK as they were slow, and often got the order wrong, but thought – hey they need the business – lets try again.

So I go and order 2 California Whoppers, a BK Single Stacker, and a fry (after a fair wait in line). By the time I get to the window my son calls to say he wants one also. I had handed the girl my debit card and the coupon and she had gone off to who knows where. I waited there at the first window for a good 5 minutes then she returns and says the coupon is for whoppers only – not California Whoppers. I explained that it was on an advert for California Whoppers, and showed her the picture on the back of the coupon… no. Did I still want the two California Whoppers ? Yes.. actually now I need three of them. Ok..

I gave her my card again and she gave it back to me and walked off again. I assumed we were done and pulled up to the food window. A minute or two later she came with a ticket for me to sign. Shortly after, the girl working the drive thru window handed me the order. I quickly checked it and found only two of the green boxes that said CALIFORNIA WHOPPER. I mentioned this to her, and she said my ticket only shows 2. I said check with the fellow in the black shirt – on order #97 they had a change. (I had heard him shout that out when I added the 3rd sandwich). 8 minutes and lots of hunting around and they “found” the 3rd sandwich.. sitting on the counter near the girl all along.

The girl had pulled my copy of the reciept from the bag to go looking – but did not put it or any other updated receipt on the bag. When I got home with the sandwiches I found no receipt – and instead of the single BK stacker I had a whopper with cheese and a standard whopper – and of course the 3 California Whoppers. I called to see if I could find out more about what happened – but got a generic cheap telephone answering machine message “theres no one here to answer you call” and click.

I ate the sandwich – which was advertised to have Swiss cheese, guacamole, bacon on a whopper.. none of them had the Swiss or any cheese. and the two my wife and I had had only one strip of bacon – covering only half the sandwich. The guacamole was applied more like a person would apply butter to bread with a knife.. a thin layer on most of the sandwich and a dab or two that was thicker. You could taste it – but it was pushing credibility to say it was more than 2 teaspoons total.

If you are having trouble staying afloat BK, it would make sense to deliver something close to the picture when you serve it – taking half the bacon, half or more of the guacamole, and all of the cheese off may impact profits a bit initially but the lack of return business and no way to send an email complaint to either the store or corporate does not bode well for those who expect to have it their way or at least be able to complain if not. Sending a coupon book advertising 30 plus dollars of savings and free items does no good if you can’t use it.

And if I find that I got charged for two whoppers that I did not order… well thats really pushing the limits of understanding. I have taught classes on customer support matters and I always tell folks that in a market where you sell the same things as the other competitors – what makes you stand out is how you handle mistakes. Burger King Hobbs NM left me with some serious worries about how long they can stay open. I will think seriously twice before pulling in there again – and we have been here over 30 years.

Kelly M.Less than a minute ago. I saw the add for the California Whopper and was so excited to try it. I live in Downtown and there are very few Burger Kings close to me. I found one on Lemmon Ave. store # 542 and couldn’t wait to try one. Well I went to try one. When I got there I asked about the price for just the burgers, no one knew. They had to go ask someone? After finally getting the price, I ordered two! I thought this will be so good! I get home and not only was there no guacamole on either of them, but they put so much mayonnaise on them we couldn’t eat them. We were charged for the Cali Whopper and got mayonnaise and lettuce sandwiches!

I tried to call and no one would answer the phone. My next avenue was to contact you all, this was no easy feat! I don’t think I should have to drive all the way back over there seeing how gas is $ 4.00 + a gallon these days! So much for ” Have it your way” huh! I think you should change it to “Take it like you get it! & we’ll charge you for whatever we want sucker!” I will NEVER eat there again! I will go to McDonalds, Wendys, or even the local roach coach! They probably have better service & food! VERY VERY disappointed!

I went to the Burger King on Austin Bluffs in Colorado Springs tonight and tried to place and order. I told the girl 2 mini burgers and 2 mini chicken sandwiches. She rudely tells me that “you can’t do that”. (no explanation that they come in packs and they can not be seperated or anything) I repeated my order more clearly 2 8 packs of hamburgers and 2 8 packs of chicken sandwiches. She does not repeat the order back but the screen is showing only one order of each. When I try to tell her that I want 2 orders of each I hear nothing on her end to indicate that she has heard me or that she is changing my order. The screen remains the same.

My daughter in the car calls out that the customer service sucks. She tells me that she will not take my order “good bye”! I have had multiple problems with this particular location and never seem to get any satisfaction. Its a shame because this location is closest to my house. Burger King did not get my money tonight Taco Bell did. Their customer service is always impecable! The employees are glad to have a job as opposed to Burger King where we are just interuptions to their day.

First off, No receipt through the drive thru. I ordered the number 6 breakfast. Potatoes were barely warm, so I skipped them. The bottom half of the english muffin was as hard as a rock. I mean it. It was so hard I would have broken a tooth. I turned around and went back. I walked in and nobody was working the counter. After a minute I asked for help. A male employee with a black eye comes out and I tell him my story. He blandly asks if I want another one, no interest no care at all. At this point I cut my losses and ask for my money back. Without a word he tosses the food in a garbage can, gives my money back and walks away. That was awful.

Burger King located @ 2626 S 108th, West Allis, WI. I went to the above location after 8am and found the doors were locked. I then went to the drive-thru, and was informed it would be another 30 minutes before they would open. I then mentioned that the hours on the front door showed 6am as opening time. The response was “we won’t open for another 30 mins”. When I asked what the problem was, I was told “sir, I don’t have to explain anything to you.” Please be assured that this creates doubt of ever returning to Burger King. Your reply would be appreciated.

Went to BK this morning. Was going to go through the drive thru but there was a car blocking it, so we went in. We being me and my two small children. I ordered the food and we sat down to wait. When the order was called I retrieved the food and went back to the table. While sorting food I noticed a wrong breakfast sandwich and was about to go up to trade it when the employee who had taken our order came out and demanded a sandwich back. I said this one is wrong and went to grab it but then he touched my child’s sandwich and said it was the one. Touched his food… so the wrong sandwich was taken awsy, my child’s food had to be replaced, and then the employee hadn’t noticed I didn’t have mine.

So I had to pay for a sandwich I had already paid for. Will never go there again. Poor service and bad manners.

ok so i go to Burger King maybe once every 2 weeks..usually just for a burger on the go. So today i went and got a burger and nuggets for my daughter. we get to our destination to sit in the car for a minute to eat. her nuggets are fine. My burger though..well wasnt a burger..it was bun special stacker sauce and cheese..and a burnt taste. i opened it up to see that the burger patty itself was the size of one of my daughters nuggets!! and half the thickness!!! so i took pics of if it. id post them on here if i knew how or could to show you. i even put one of her nuggets on top of it to compare size.

Ok i know they are “grilled” pattys..whatever..but the patty shouldnt have shrunken that much..well needless to say..were getting out burger and nuggets on the go from McDonalds.

I recently stopped at the Burger King drive thru In North Saint Paul MN. the crispy chicken sandwich was barely warm and tasted strange like soap or a chemical was on it. Had to throw it away!! This happened to a friend a week ago and I thought she was wrong till I tried it. Is the grease old or what. I will never stop there again. I only write this for the sake of other costumers. What happened to great service!!

I am writing this, not due to a one time complaint. I owned restaurants for years, & before owning them i ran hotels & mom & pop rest. in Daytona Beach Fl. Over the years i found myself stopping at Burger King, you always had something i enjoyed on your menu, even when i was on my way to MY own RESTAURANT. I would stop for a breakfast sandwich. I was a loyal customer Since the age of five yrs. old. Over the years, something happened to your restaurants! You must Franchise them to anyone who has the money. The one’s In central Fl. Are filthy dirty, serving old food, horrible customer service, rude dirty looking Mang. That i would not let wash dishes in any rest, I was involved with!!

You must have the worst training program. I am not all mad, that is not why i wrote this, I am ashamed of all you don’t do about trying to clean your act up. At one time you really were the KING of fast food….No longer will i ever eat at your restaurants. I myself have a proven track record for the opening new rest. & going back once a month to them, making sure they stay great…

On 29 June 2011 at 18:57pm I proceeded through the drive though of a Burger king. Location was the closes to 500 B Carteret Ave Beaufort, NC 28516 right across from a McDonald’s and a Domino’s Pizza. As I placed my order (two wopper specials, lite mayo, lite lett, and cut in half totalling $7 and change) and drove to the window the young lady took my cash and gave me my change. I then looked though the window to the preparation area and saw my food being made. It was the worst thing I had ever seen im my life. The preparer was gloveless. I visually saw the member put my meat pattie on the bun. Then he got my pickles froms some compartment with his bare hand and unfolded the pickles and placed them properly on the pattie.

Next the burger king individual pushed a button on some streen he was watching, wiped his hands on his shirt then proceeded to finish making my burgers. An African American hand came into the picture and tossed the top of the bun onto the counter of the preparation area. This gentleman was also not waring gloves. The main preparer pushed a button on the streen and continued to make my burger. I had seen enough. I told the cashier to hault my order and give me a refund. The cashier turned to the food prep personel and told them to stop making the order and that i no longer wanted it. She called the manager whom was a farely heathy set gentleman and told him I no longer wanted the order.

The manager refunded my money. Never asked if I had a problem, was I dissatisfied, or what was the reason for the refund. I will never eat at that establishment again. My burger king experiance has been ruin and I now thin all burger king establishments are the same behind blind eyes.

Again, I did not receive my order. Twice this month, I have driven up to Burger King, #3847 in Houston, Texas. I first time, the attendent disappeared and didn’t take my order. I waited as he had asked me to do, but he didn’t come back. There was no one visible, so I left. This evening I went again. This time my order and money were taken, but my order didn’t come. As I waited, I saw employees leaving with their orders in hand, I saw employees messing around, but my order did not come. I drove around the window again and saw an employee sitting on the counter eating fries. I asked for my money back and handed a young woman my receipt.

She called the cook and both seemed confused as they tried to figure out what happened to my order. There was no explaination, no apology, no manager visible. I do not go to Burger King because the food is terrific. I go there because my husband and I work part time jobs in the evenings trying to supplement our income. The Burger King is the closest restaraunt to our home that is opened late.It seems to me that your night manager is not able to supervise or better train his crew.

I have taken my 6 year old son to the local Burger King in Dearborn at 25300 Michigan Ave. BK # 495. Once a week for the last 4 weeks. No childen’s toys. The first 2 times were drive through visits. At $4 a gallon, it is not worth turning around and getting the lame excuse I finally got. Burger king is between toys, so how about a bad necklace for your son? No thanks. it still made it’s way into the bag. The last straw was 2 days ago. Manager Dennis was the person who waited on me. Nice enough person. Shocked about my previous experiences. I said this plainly and clearly, ” how about taking your keys and opening up the toy display and getting me 3 of the squirt guns that you are out of?”.

I am not sure, what do you say to someone that will not listen. I wanted to smack that guy upside the head. But having my 6 year old next to me, I decided that would be a bad example. If the toy display is empty, maybe the BK is out of the toys? Ya think? He gave me a Transformer old toy from the backroom. My son has duplicates of those. WOW, thanks…I went to my car before I left and took out of the trunk the necklace still sealed and in the burger king bag. I gave it back to him… Why would I go back there? Lets add some more insult to injury. I get home last week from one of the burger king trips and a burger king commercial comes on and says. “get a free drink with any Whopper sandwich order.”

I looked at my receipt and I was charged for the small drink I ordered. Why pay for a large if you dine in and can refill. Too celebrate 1st week off from school, we went to McDonalds. My son does not like onions, he gave me the burger and he ate the fries and had his coke. McDonalds is cleaner, cheaper and more polite and he got a cool & correect toy in his “Kid’s Meal”. I am done with burger king.

at burger king in jax florida at hodges and JTB I was treated so rudely by the girl in the drive thru, she said that what I ordered would take several minutes to prepare I told her ok, she snapped at me if you dont like it leave, I went to another BURGER KING told the person there what happened he said “yeah we hear that alot about her dont know how she still has a job. I quess burger kings motto have it your way is no longer applicable. there are to many fast food places for me to be treated this way,I honestly can not believe the manager or owner condones this kind of behavior.

I spoke to many of my neighbors ” this burger king is in my neghborhood” there were several people who have experienced the same type of treatment, this reflects very poorly on Burger King as a whole. I hope this does not fall on deaf ears as this could and should have a negative impact on Burger King as a whole if left unresolved.

this is the 2nd time in a month that i have visited the burger king in the 4000 block of veterans pkwy. at both times, i was the only one in line, there was not a line in the drive thru. Both times i had to wait for someone to wait on me and then wait about 5-10 min. for my order, while the employees ran their mouths and piddling around. I have worked retail off and on for over 20 yrs. customer service MUST come first, especially in this day and time. The time i went last month, one of the mgrs. or someone over the other employees was in line and i told him about the waiting time and he said he would check into it.

With so many out of work, people everywhere need to be customer conscious, because there is always someone that is willing to show appreciation for a job. The food is always good, but the service is sorely lacking.Thank you.

On May 25 about 10:06 pm My niece and I ordered by way of the Burger King drive through, I told the clerk that I wanted a whopper with extra onion and no mayo for myself along with fries. My niece ordered the whopper junior without cheese with onion rings both of these items were meals. Not only did they make us wait, the order was wrong. My whopper had mayo, no extra onion, the bun looked as if they had been using it as putty. The fries were cold and taste as if they had been out all night. My niece hates cheese her Burger King whopper Jr. had onions and cheese. her onion rings were cold and chewy.

She asked for tea without ice they gave her a coke. We did not find this what amounts to enedible food or garbage until we got home too far to return it. If this was the end of their day they should not had said the food would be off the grill… I thought that the first time they got my order wrong that it may have been a mistake now it looks as if they just do not care! The Burger King store number is 1515400 Forest Park, Ga. I kept the receipt.

Dear Burger King, I went to Burger King at 1709 rd in Goshen Indiana and got a double cheese burger 1.00 fry a a cheesecake the guy who took my order was just blah not friendly or rude got to the 2nd window paid for my food and waited then the manager her name is Holly i asked basically threw my food at me was very rude didn’t say thank u come again nothing until i asked her what her name was then she said Holly and i started to drive away and she opens the window and screams out have a nice night i thought that was very rude and did not look good for your company!!

I love Burger King but will not be treated like that when i am spending my money there!! So i will no longer be going to that Restaurant anymore there are 50 other places to choose from on the same road but i thought you should know how i was treated at your Restaurant!!! Thank You for your time and have a nice day!! My name is Christina Horn and my e-mail is buckeyegirl77 [at] comcast.net

I went to the Dewey Ave Rochester NY Burger King drive through on Saturady 5/14/11 at 8:14 am. I advised that I had a coupon for a BOGO breakfast croisant “of greater or equal value.” I ordered a double croisant and was told the coupon exlcuded this item. Nowhere on the coupon does it state that. I spoke to the manager who said his name was Ron Mass. He showed me a placard that states the coupon does not apply to the double breakfast croisant and that it is displayed INSIDE the restaurant. I disagree. I told Mr. Mass that this is fraudulent, classic bate and switch. I also pointed out that the outside signs do no indicate that the double is excluded from this coupon and that drive-through patrons don’t see the disclaimer inside the store.

Even if they did, the coupon explicitly states “greater or equal value” so no disclaimer on a placard is valid. This deception gets partons to return with the expectation that the coupon, as written, will be honored. Is there any class action going against Burger King? They should revise their coupon, not spend money printing worthless placards.

It doesn’t seem to matter what Burger King I’m at, (Denver,St. Louis,etc). I’ve noticed and watch the staff reheat the burgers to melt the cheese and warm up the bacon before wrapping and serving. What has happened to a fresh flame broiled hamburger served hot the first time? The taste is horrible and when I asked for a fresh burger the cashier turned her back on me and walked away! Just remember that to have it your way is to go someplace else!

today i visited my local burger king and order 3 whoopers and 1 double whooper i waited 10 mins for my order and when did get it home i found that i was shorted one whooper. when i tryed call the number on the ticket i was hungup on and when i called back the number just rang and rang. every time i visit bk 11119 at lunch or dinner time i have a long wait and my order is wrong “I HATE THE BK IN CLEWISTON FL. AND WISH IT WOULD JUST BE CLOSED DOWN” the managers and staff suck!

Your slogan “have it your way” doesn’t apply in Rainsville Alabama. Tonight after driving 20 miles to and from the burger king location located in Rainsville Alabama I saw when I got home that my order was not complete so I drove back to the burger king location. I approched the manager (Maggie) and told her my order was short she in turn told me that she would have my ONE WHOPPER in 20 min. that she had a lot of orders ahead of me (I could clearly see 3 whoppers on the platform infront of her not being issued) I then ask to speak to a manager and she said she was the supreme manager and noone was higher.

I then ask to speak to the owner of the burger king and (Maggie) the manager informed me that he lived in Las Vegas and I was welcome to drive out there and see him, after this smart ass remark not only will I not be returning to this Burger King, Unless Maggie is gone! No business needs managers that treat any customers like there pcs. of trash. So When shes gone please inform me and I will return in the mean time I have no choice but to instruct the whole area where this burger king is located of this horrible woman and ask that no one eats there again as well as contacting the Health Dept, and all resturant permit issue dept for places of business in Rainsville And or DeKalb County Alabama.

I am writing to report contemptible behavior by a drive-in clerk and her co-workers at Burger King Restaurant #2471, 24th & Oregon Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19145-4112. It was approximately 10:20 PM on Saturday, April 23, 2011. Dtore personnel had locked the seating area doors. I walked to the drive-in area, stepped up to the ordering microphone/speaker and waited for about 30 seconds for the clerk to say something, whether to ask for my order or to tell me that she couldn’t serve pedestrians. The drive-in clerk, however, said nothing.

Over the next several minutes, I asked perhaps 15 – 20 times whether the restaurant was open, was anyone there, did I need a car to be waited on in the drive-thru lane? The clerk said nothing. I was yelling loud enough for the 20 or so people waiting for a bus along Oregon Avenue to hear me. I tapped on the microphone/speaker with my hand a few times – gently enough not to harm it in any way. Finally, I walked towards the service window and as I stepped about 10 feet from the microphone/speaker, I heard the formerly mute clerk ask the car that was right behind me whether she could take their order.

When I reached the window, I finally saw this clerk. I asked her why she said nothing to me when I was standing in the drive-thru lane and that she wasted several minutes of my time. I asked her whether the restaurant was open. She bowed her head, put her fingers on either side of the ridge of her nose, shook her head and whispered “Oh, God.” This gesture was clearly aimed at making me feel unimportant and as though I were some crazy person, deserving of ridicule, that her fate in life was to have to deal with such insanity, that she clearly had something better to do or some place better to be.

I insisted on an explanation for her silent treatment, so I waited until she unbowed her head. She searched for something to say as she fought back an insulting smile, She claimed, variously, that she could not hear me when I was in line, that she didn’t know I was there, or that she had no explanation, or that, by inference, I wasn’t deserving of one. She joked with her co-workers with words that I could not hear and they began laughing and looking at me. One tall dark-skinned male came over half-smiling, half-supporting the clerk, giving me a quizzical, unhelpful look, and seemingly agreeing with my question – “So, you can’t wait on someone who walks into the drive-thru lane?” I had no idea of what he was trying to accomplish, other than to partake in the amusement. In the end, I received no direct answers from anyone at that window. Everyone just treated this scenario as a big joke.

As I waited in front of the restaurant for my bus, EACH TIME I GLANCED INTO THE RESTAURANT, I could see the same drive-thru clerk and several of her co-workers turning around to laugh at me and look contemptuously at me — stares I’m simply not accustomed to. One of the co-workers who had delighted in the situation came outside for a meal and to sit on an Oregon Avenue BK trashcan. He offered absolutely no explanation to me. I told him that I would report this behavior to a manager and he uttered that there was a manager inside the restaurant at that moment. I looked in and saw two employees dressed differently than the others (I assumed that they were managers or supervisors), but they were having a good laugh, also turning periodically to stare at me. I could tell from the tone of the worker sitting on the trashcan, and I otherwise concluded, that the entire crew was unprofessional, managers and clerks alike, so I would do better speaking with another manager or the franchisee at a later time.

I came to your restaurant innocently attempting to purchase a veggie burger. If I could not be helped in the drive-thru lane, I should have been told that immediately. There should have been signs to that effect as well. If safety was a consideration, then keeping me in that lane for several minutes by not responding to my questions harmed safety, not helped. The clerk and other employees had an obligation to tell me immediately that I could not be served — or to serve me immediately. If the clerk couldn’t hear me, then she could have taken my order when I saw her at the actual window. But, she did nothing of the sort – she was too busy having a good time at my expense. This was some sort of game, perhaps they were betting on how long I would stay in the lane before giving up. The laughter, stares, contemptuous looks after wards reflected an entire organization out of control and the exact opposite of good customer service. This was humiliating.

The clerk in question and the manager on duty should be fired. Neither I nor my family will eat at any of your restaurants until I receive a proper explanation and this matter is resolved in a fair manner.

To whom it may concern, I recently bought a meal at a Burger King location in philadelphia, Pa on Castor street next to the Oxford Circle, i have noticed the employees take orders on the cash register then put fries and get in touch with alot of food without gloves or washing their hands! i love burger king and i always rather my food from Burger King than any other fast food place but i will not have someone ealing with money and then my food, i do not want to call inspection i just thought it would be helpful to write this complaint
thank you so much. maghrooma_feek [at] yahoo.com

i went to burger king at foothills roseville and i was suprised to experience the customer service so poor from this location. i ordered a burger meal w/ fires there yesterday. i saw her preparing an onion fries instead so i told her i want a regular fries. the lady she got mad right away and was stomping and snorting. and making indirect remark in a SPANISH language that was very rude sounding to me. she was arguing although i’m calm the entire time about the fries. the CRUE’s name was GABBI/GABRIELLA. she was really2 rude and because of this i am pretty sure that we’re not going back to burger king anymore ever!

I really believe Burger King needs to train their employees on better customer service. They need to be taught to listen to the customer and not behave like they have something better to do and not act like were bothering them. The employee at drive through was curt, and was trying to rush my order. I had to tell her to hold on when placing my order (she still got it wrong) I drove up to pay and. she took my money with no words at all and gave me my change, no thank you nothing..My burger was soggy, my lettuce was all wilted and I had ordered a whopper combo no pickle, onions and no tomatoes, tomatoes, they went ahead and still put in.. What a waste of time and money going to Burger King.

Complaint about Burger King at 49 West Hamilton Campbell CA. Went to this location and they did not bother to put a label saying they are out of certain sodas in self serve drink area. March 25,2011 at 6pm. They had only 3 of the 7 or so available. This was not the first time this Burger King location was out of soda as they were out of one a month ago. The BK staff knew as i asked him and he told me the ones available. When i left a half hour later they still did not label out of stock and they also did not have any soda covers as well. Be warned check your sodas before filling up or better yet dont go to Burger King on Fridays. Who ever is the manager of the West Hamilton location sure is not doing thier job at customer service. email for this place on receipts is comments02012@sracbk.com

There is one Burger King in Zachary, Louisiana. There is one McDonalds in Zachary, LA. You can get in and out of McDonalds drive through even with a long line of vehicles in very few minutes. More than once, I have sat in line (there is a curb when you get so far in and you can’t get out) for an extraordinary long time considering the number of cars in line. One night it took 50 minutes to get a Burger King kid’s meal. There was a truck at the order box with nothing but space in front of him (se was yelling at the order box), one car behind him and then me. That was the longest time but I was told by someone else that was complaining about this it was quicker to go in.

I did that yesterday and found Burger King employees arguing about who was going to take an order out. I believe the manager was there and leaving and it was chaos in there. Three people in the kitchen part, the manager, and three other employees up front. I still had to wait for the kid’s meal. No one else in line when I came in. When I had to wait the 50 minutes, I called a Burger King store the next day and got a supervisor’s name and left him a message, he never returned my call…he knew it was about the Zachary location. The store manager I talked to in Baton Rouge said, Zachary had “help” problems.

It does not help to complain to the store personnel in Zachary….they DO NOT CARE. If this is OK with you, fine but the only reason I go there is because my grandson has to have those onion rings. He has autism and he does not want any substitutes. Also, my 87 year old Mother loves whoppers. I thought you should know…it’s been this way a long time and I think you have lost a lot of customers due to this…Zachary has really grown since hurricane Katrina but I know they could find employees that care somewhere in the area.

You’ll don’t offer buck doubles anymore??? WHY McDonalds has double cheese for a $1. They have fried pies 2 for a $1, Spicy chicken $1 & a really good dollar value menu & have for many yrs. U people r right across the street & can’t hold a candle to McDonalds business. McDonalds open at 5am/Burger King suppose to be 6am. I get a sausage biscuit/coffee 4 $1.08 cents at Big Mac every morning at 5am sharp everyday on time. Burger Kings Breakfast menu wow not good at all & HI PRICED/the burgers, onion rings everything way out of line price wise. the strawberry & grape jam r jelly YUK. Try McDonalds sometimes it is much better, not great but much much better.

The NEW Stacker 1 Meat 2 Meat 3 Meat No No Try again terrible value for the price. Sometimes Changes r bad. This is 1 of them. This was a change in the wrong direction No Buck doubles & The Stacker Wacker Packer deal SUCKS Sorry Just being honest here. I do like the flame broiled patty but I can do that myself at home & get more bang for my buck. The service is great/employes super/nice new clean building but too high price wise. Jack in the box WOW Chicken sandwiches/2 tacos & a real good dollar value items. Dairy Queen has 2 double cheese (really good burgers with bacon everything on them for $3/Chicken & doumplins for $3.99 Great.

Thanks for your time Kelvin Bourque. Good luck!

I have contacted Burger King Corporate Headquarters and multiple HR representatives. I have someone working at Burger King using my name and SSN. Burger King has made no effort to contact me to resolve this issue. I have left messages for their legal department, HR, general support techs, and anyone else i have come in contact with. I have filed police reports and reported it to multiple identity theft sites. They do not care about this apparently. Or think it is not a serious offense. I need to get this removed from my credit, and have this reported to the IRS. I think this is a tactic by the Burger King company to help their employees to continue to work using my info for cheap labor.

I’m thinking of going to a lawyer and having them call Burger King to get some traction because apparently they do not want to cooperate with me to help the police catch this person and press charges for fraudulently using my info to gain employment. This is BS and i think a company as big as Burger King would be willing to assist me and the police department in finding this person. I want to start a boycott of this company as this is not right in any way!!! I believe if this happen to them they would be just as concerned as i am about this.

I am an everyday customer at the Burger King at newark delaware. I eat breakfast and lunch their on a nearly daily basis. I am constantly receiving either the wrong order or food that simply should never be eaten by any human. On a few occasions I have even brought the food to show to the manager and asked them “would you ever eat this sandwich” upon which they responded by saying that they would not. This week on two separate occasions I received the wrong order at this Burger King.

The first time I saved my receipt and was given the missing food but the second time I had already thrown away the receipt upon returning home and noticing that i received the wrong food. I would like some consideration for the fact that I am constantly receiving the wrong orders and am met with hostility upon complaining, and in addition, was still never compensated for my screwed up order since I did not have the receipt. This is simply not acceptable from Burger King.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response. My email address is Mdevivo@udel.edu please contact me on this email to discuss this issue.

My husband and I stopped at the Burger King on I-49 in Alexandria, LA this morning. It was so cold (59) I asked the clerk to turn up the heat and she told me she needed a key. I asked where the Mgr. was so that he could do it and was told he was at home. It was 8:00 in the morning, this is at Burger King mind you, and they didn’t even have coffee brewed. I was told I would have to wait for that too. I got my money back and went across the street and ate at McDonald’s instead.

I went into burger king at 6:35 am on 2/5/2011, the person behind the counter was very slow moving (i figured he worked all night maybe tired not the problem) well he looked at me and said what do you want. I handed him a burger king coupon for buy one get one free breakfast bowl (which are very good). I said give me this and a medium black coffee please. He looked down at the coupon looked back up at me with a look of are you kidding me like i asked him for his first born. He said we don’t have any coffee, i said are you kidding, he looked back with the same blank look said no. I have been waited on before by this person with the same look, so maybe that is just his look. Burger King not serving breakfast and NO COFFEE R YOU KIDDING ME.

Today on my lunch break I decided to go to the Burger King. As I approached the building I was really greatful that no cars was in the drive thru. As I was turning in a car did make it to the drive thru before me, the car was at the ordering speaker for about 10 mins before he pulled around. I then waited for 8 mins and no Burger King employee said anything as if there were closed. I pulled around only to find the same car that was in front of me is still at the window. after waiting for another 5 min the car drove off with no food or money being exchanged.

I then pulled up at the window and look at the Burger King employees who tried very hard to make no eye contact as they were looking at paper working and doing other things. After waiting at the window for close to 10 minutes I blew my horn which made no impact on them at all. Now cars that have arrived after me are pulling around and speeding off. The Burger King staff never did acknowdlege that they were not taking orders.

During the busy lunch rush, i waited at the burger king counter for my order while this woman texted. My food was done and in the staging area. I waited a total of five minutes while this lady texted and/or facebooked on her phone. She laughed and was pointing at the phone while showing others. Another burger king counter person asked her to do something and she said… “just go ahead and do it…” indicating that her job was simply not important to her. Really, if you don’t like your job at burger king or anywhere else, go find another. I heard she later got fired by her boss, but honestly it was too little too late. You shouldn’t be texting at the counter!

Burger King — such crap! Every single one of their stores shut down in my area. Poor customer service is poor customer service. I had a bad customer experience. Oh it was 6 minutes to close of breakfast and they didn’t want to make a batch of biscuits? Oh, boo hoo hoo for the Burger King franchise! They lost a customer, and possibly the lifetime value of that customer, to save a buck on a biscuit batch. Burger King corporate will waste millions of dollars on advertising this year. But lost a customer on a freakin’ biscuit.
