I mean I have eaten a whopper before while driving with one hand. I agree that they probably should of cut it but this guy did not have to make a big stink about it either. These kids are getting paid $7 an hour probably for drinking money later on that night with their friends in high school. Just leave them alone & let them get thru their shift.

I see what you're getting at here, but the guy asked the Burger King worker to cut it in HALF. Not in many pieces so that he can eat it easier or something. Cutting a burger in half takes about 1.5 seconds, that's not above these morons job description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're siding with BK on this one? Interesting choice. I don't get it. Maybe you have some kind of personal stake in this. Was your wife killed by a one-armed man and then everybody thought you were guilty and then you had to run away and hide out like some kind of fugitive until you could gather the necessary evidence to convict the real killer?

When I was in high school I worked at BK for a year & I used to cut sandwiches all the time. It would not of been a big deal. I hardly doubt the employee would get fired too. I used come in on the morning shift reeking of booze, I even got caught one time steeling a whole box of whopper & bk broilers for this party later on that same night. The manager just told me not to do it again. One time this guy was giving us a real tough time. Brang back his whopper three times saying we did not make it right. The 3rd time he brough it back me & my friend went in the back room & both took a bite out of it & wrapped it back up & gave it to him. We did get fired for that incident. Like I said though, maybe not this guy, but people go into a place like BK & expect 5 star restaurant treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The woman said that plastic knives were available if he wanted to cut the sandwich himself. Perhaps BK needs to be a little more selective when hiring store managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegtapr Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Ok, so maybe it is policy. If it is, I would have taken my break, gone out to the mans table and cut it on my own time. What is wrong with people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have you taken your other hand off the wheel to push stuff back in? Does this mean Burger Thing doesn't allow their employees to use sharp objects? When you see the supervisor saying this; “That’s our policy, not to cut the sandwich,” Blanco said. “We want to keep the employees safe so they don’t cut themselves and for the customers, too. The less you mess around with the customer’s food, the better.” I second that and raise you another Do we really want someone from burger king really cutting our sandwich. Weren't they the ones that had employees taking baths in their sink last year? Linky So, you're siding with BK on this one? Interesting choice. I don't get it.
