payroll revision
Recently burger king forced it's employees to go to paperless payroll paystubs and assigned each employee a money network paycard with more hoops to jump through than basketball. For two weeks, I have been trying to get a copy of my "paystubs", not just my net pay. Paystubs - hours worked, gross pay and deductions. There are government regulations that...

I agree. The costumes the employees wear are just plain silly.
first off why did u go to a burger king in Alabama? that was ur issue right there.
price increase
I cannot believe it! Burger King raised it's price for a Whopper Jr. a second time in 6 months. About 6 months ago Burger King raised the price of their Whopper Jr. from $1.00 to $1.29. In February 2011 they raised the price again to $1.49. Thats a 49% price increase within 6 months. Apparently that makes sense since my salary increased by 0.5% for 2011. Burger King isn't the only game in town, so I'll be playing my game under the golden arches instead!

my family and i were at the atlanta airport waiting for our flight. hungry we decided to eat at burger king on concourse-d. the hamburgers were raw, and not wanting to get back in the very long line to say something, we just threw them away. our flight was getting ready to leave and we didn't have time to complain. normally we like burger king, but that just turns you away expecially when you were very hungry and paying the high price in the airport to eat and had to settle for cookies or peanuts on the plane coming back home.
I agree that they shouldnt have raised... they keep raising and yes they are losing 1.50 each customer they lose but not all customers only used to order just 1 sandwich... many would order enough for the whole family AND fries, oh and drinks... In my case that would have been 35.00 for a family every time we went... Instead... we are now going across the street to McD and getting the same amount of food for 18.00... Not even joking... So before you say it dont add up, they lose 70 per week from our family most weeks... and we arent the only ones... Adds up quick with everyone boycotting the hikes...
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT BY BKC "These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations and beliefs regarding our ability to enhance our menu" WTF ? A 4.51 whooper is an enhancement ? I say give them another quarter to bite the dust :)
Burger King (BKC) was downgraded to sell from buy at Deutsche Bank and to neutral from overweight at Piper Jaffray. The company is being acquired by 3G Capital for $24 per share in cash. LOL !
BKC VS S&P 500 (SPY)
23 dollar value and two star rating LMAO - Bankruptcy comming :)
BTW you mentioned BKC stock? lol, look up their index, it has no reported value. Now that's funny
Hennesy's bar burgers are far superior to a whooper
I just don't see how bad products stock can go up. If I had stock in BK, I would be selling it today right after overpaying. But yes I am a small business 200.000k a year and every penny counts.
Gas stayed in the same bracket in San Diego for te last quarter. Not nearly 40% up. I say protest BK and run them out of business. They make a choice to prey, they aren't important enough to stay in business.
The word of mouth is one of the strongest ways of marketing through referrals . I firmly believe BK is shooting itself in the foot if not in the head.
harassment/intimidation
This disabled senior visited the burger king, ordered a burger, proceeded to
Be seated but was distracted by snide, objectionable, sarcastic, derision threating
From one clerk. This was returned in kind but with no furor attached and no
Physical provocation other than by implicaiton. From the continued vituperation
And condecsion this disabled senior suffered ailments from stomach ache, mental
Disorientation and a virtual " heart attack ". To add insult to injury on a return
Visit the crew at this burger king they shut the door and declined any
Purchase, laughed at the ailing, as well as cursed too. After a complaint
And insurance cliam the nationwide stated " go to hell "! Claiming no
Injury no money.
terrible service
I've been wondering for years how can I file a complaint about this place. The service has been horrible for years. I live in the apartments right next to it and I no longer go there unless I'm starving without my car. There have been times where I've gone and received burgers without patties, super cold fries, the wrong meat, and cold burgers. They ALWAYS...

Every time I come to this BK drive through im told to pull ahead and someone will bring me my order. I know they do this because their drive through is on a timer, in order for corporate to monitor service times and help improve drive through speed. What i dont get, is how can drive through speed can be improved if timers all have false information on them...

unprofessional management
Me and a friend were eating our lunch when the Manager brought the counter girl out to the dinning area and started to accuse her of theft right in front of the customers..We heard every wordShe should have taken her to the office or even play land no one was in there..The girl denied it and started to cry but all she said was oh yes you did take money out of the till..I worked retail if you are going to disapline a worker you DO NOT do this for the public to hear..Needless to say I will never ever eat there again...Very inconsiderate of the emplyee and to us and all that was sitting there...Julie Allen

Why would you expect professional behavior from someone that is not a professional? They are a Burger King manager...not an accountant, or dentist, or any other job that requires school.
counter person texting during lunch hour
During the busy lunch rush, I waited at the counter for my order (#18) 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 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 dont like your job, go find another. You shouldn't be texting at the counter.
I snapped a picture of her here:

I would have sent this complaint directly to Burger King, but they do NOT accept email complaints. There is no place on their website to send anything! Even corporate! So, I posted here. Shame, cause now its public.
This was horrible. As a business owner she would have been fired on the spot. People were waiting for their food that was already ready already!
theives
I purchased a hamburger from Burger king in Tupelo on West main. The order was $3.38. I gave the cashier $20.38. I acidentally drove off and left my change. I called immediatel after I realize I left it. The person to whom I was talking said that no one had left change. I assured her I did and so she said when she counted the drawer she would see if they were over. At any rate I went back and waited until she counted. She then tells me they are $12. over, not $17.
Well I took the $12. but it is disturbing to know there are theives
working at. BK. I don't know who. but someome took $5. that did
not belong to them. I would of gladly given them $5. rather then to have it stolen. I would hope this doesn't happen often.

December 7th, the Burger King sign out front say's buy one original chicken sandwich get one free. So hats just what I did, ordered a #9 combo (original chicken sandwich, fries and a Coke).

After eating the Pancakes, Mini Blueberry biscuits and Hashbrowns both my brother and I experienced Diarrhea, nausea and stomach pain.
I'm having same problem with egg biscuit from Burger King--terrible diarrhea.
Whad' ya expect...to do a maraothon after a fast-food breakfast?
breakfast food gave diahrrea, stomach pain, gas and nausea
Mini Blueberry buscuits, Pancakes and hash browns were served to my brother and i for breakfast. After we ate I had experience diarrhea, stomach pain, gas and nausea. This persisted thru the day. My brother went to sleep after eating the breakfast only to wake up with pain in his stomach and diarrhea. It's a shame that this occurs with food that is served.
service/cleanliness
Ok let me start with as soon as you walk in and your feet are stuck to the floor then to make the experience even better the staff's atitude and lack of acknowledging your standing there made it bad but then they succeeded in making me and my wife wait longer than any so called FAST food restaurant should when they decided not when the food was ready when THEY were ready to give us our order it was cold, i like Burger King but that store was the poorest excuse of a burger king i've ever visited!

you don't get it your way!
Stopped in to get a quick bite (10:20AM on 11-02-2010) and was told that I could not have a "Buck Double" because one time someone ordered 23 Buck doubles in the drive thru and it backed up the drive thru for quite a while. He said they would serve them after breakfast was over. The guy that was taking my order told me I could get a double burger, also $1.00, at that time, go figure. So I called and talked to the manager, Camille, today [protected]) and was told that she made that decision because when someone orders that large quantity it was to HARD on the equipment and the employees. I told her that was a lame excuse. I drive a concrete truck so I told her that just because someone pours 100 yards of concrete on Tuesday doesn't mean the next customer has to wait until after lunch the next day for his load of concrete. If I was the supervisor, Camille would be in the unemployment line. If you business is selling HAMBURGERS and someone orders one YOU MAKE IT. But once again it's Burger King and you CAN'T have it your way. It's just another large company and all these complaints fall on deaf ears because there are still enough people buying food there. I can say that I have had much better service and you really can have it your way at Jack in the Box. Kudos to the Jack in the Box in Redlands, California. I never had a problem at that store and I have been stopping in there for approximately 5 years. If any of these fast food chains wants to improve there service this JitB would be the perfect model for them to follow.
As you can see Burger King, just like Del Taco, does not have a direct complaint site. Sounds like the must have to many complaints for anyone to sit down and read.

menu, nutrition
Burger King advertises that it has a "plain" iced coffee, but when you get the drink, it is LOADED with sugar and cream, and they don't ask you about it or give you an option. That is not "plain" coffee, it's coffee with junk in it. it has 45 grams of sugar and too much fat content. This is deceptive advertising and poor customer service.

I frequent BK as it is close to where I live and with a limited budget, their $1 bacon burgers are good for me and mine. I have to complain 'tho about the coffee. While the actual taste of the coffee, when served PLAIN, as in a regular BK Joe, is EXCELLENT. I am an avid drinker of either Americanos or espressos and so when I ordered an plain Iced Coffee, I expected just that. Ice. Coffee. and no added junk. But when I got it, it was loaded with cream, sugar a.k.a high fructose corn syrup and probably a bunch of other junk, that even after multiple Google searches I couldn't find a site that listed the ingredients in this drink. Yes, it tastes good...if you like drinks that consist of 5% coffee, 5% cream and 90% sugar. I was very disappointed. Guess if I want a good iced coffee, I'll have to go to my favorite coffee shop on the corner. Burger King should stick with burgers and fries, (have you tried the Carolina BBQ burger?AWESOME!) and stay the heck away from trying to become a coffee shop.
They do not add sugar or cream it is Vanilla shake.
Iced coffee lists the ingredients so if you just want a cold cup of coffee then have them put ice in it. Plain Iced coffee means there is no chocolate just shake mix and coffee. Otherwise you have Iced Mocha if it is not plain. Does not take a scientist to figure that out!
dirty store and bad employee behavior
My friend and I visited the Milford, Ohio Burger King on old hwy 28 and we have some major concerns. First of all, the store if filthy, dirty tables, food and crumbs all over the window sills, some windows you can't even see through, general messy and very dirty appearance and feeling when you sit in the dining room! Two employees were sitting in dining room on break and the young woman was trying to locate authorities regarding her divorce and a young guy was telling her where her resources are; they were very loud and annoying; and needless to say a very unappetizing eating environment! The server in the kitchen was throwing an attitude and was rude with customers; the young guy taking orders was cool...finally, we got the double whoppers, cold with no flavor or seasoning at all! The sat on the tray while the onion rings and french fries were cooking...we tolerated the burgers but the cleanliness and unprofessionalism is unforgiveable...so, we are never going back, not ever! This occurred on Saturday, October 16th, 2010 at 4:30 pm...thanks.

October 12, 2010 @6:30p. M. Me! And my family! Went into the burgerking to eat our supperthe lady ask us if we would like to dine in and we said yes!

stop going to this fine dining establishment...
its freaking burger king Jeff, what do you expect?
Way to give out all your personal information about a burger king complaint...
There are bigger tragedies in life than a cold fast foot restaurant, but if thats your worst - kudos!
where has quality gone
For about 19 years now, I have been going to fast food places. As far back as I can remember, I have eaten fast food. Ive been through the worst of it, and I have been there for the best of it. Through all the changes each company makes, things they add on, things they take away, and never in my life, have I felt more violated by a company than I have with my ex- favorite fast food.
I think I was about 12 when I made my first conscious descision on which fast food place was my favorite. I chose Burger King. I loved the flame broiled burgers. I loved their new fries, I loved how everything was delicious and fresh. At the time, I lived in Illinois, so not every town got to enjoy a BK. Eating there was a rarity for me, and one of my many pleasures.
Skip forward 8 years - I move out to California on my own, to orange county. Orange county is one of the nicest places in the United States, and to my surprise, has some of the WORST Burger King I have ever seen. I get more water in my mouth from biting into a microwaved burger king burger, than I do drinking a cup of water. At first, I just thought it was this one Burger King on Jamboree. My friends had said they had terrible workers, so I just kind of brushed it off, and went along with my day, still boasting that Burger King was my favorite fast food restraunt, and that this one had seen better days.
Skip a little bit more forward: I've landed a new job on the other side of Tustin. Red Hill. The burgers only get more and more wet. Strange. I seemed to love the "char broiled" taste, but now I just have soggy meat. I figured, must just be because I'm ordering off the dollar menu. OK then, I'll fork out 6 dollars for a REAL burger. After a minute the guy hands me an incredibly small bag containing my 6 dollar burger and fries. (the double stacker medium, no cheese) I look inside, and I can't believe it. This burger is the exact same size as a dollar one. Where did all of my extra money go? Was it to the paper thin bacon about 1 inch large streched out onto the patty? Was it this forein yellow sludge caked into the meat? Well it definitely wasnt for these 2.5 inch WIDE patties... I havent felt this ripped off in a while. I sat there in my car looking down at this burger that wasnt even the size of my palm, (and don't get the wrong idea, I'm a skinny kid.) and I was furious. I didnt know whether to ask for a refund, if they could just exchange this burger and fries for 3 of the dollar burgers... or what to do. All I knew was instead of getting more for 6 dollars, I got a dollar burger, and some cold fries.
Burger King... I take back everything I have told people about you in the past. You are terrible. Never again will I waste my money on you until you do the right thing and start making hamburgers right. I do admit, I havent seen any "Char broiled" slogans lately. At least its good your not lying. Just remember you boast to be the King of Burgers... How about actually following through with that?

Burger King changed their broilers about 2 years ago. They no longer cook over the open flame. They put them in set a timer and they fall out into a pan. Then they go into a warmer and set until sold. Then the meat and bottom bun gets microwaved with the cheese. They use the duke system like McDonalds does. They need to stick with their format and not copy Mcdonalds.
I just ordered a whopper w/ cheese at lunch today, and noticed that it didn't have the char broiled taste. I opened the bun and looked and there were no char lines on the burger. It looked like a microwaved burger. Not even any grill marks. It looked pathetic.
Upon searching to see if they had changed the way they cook, I came across your complaint and I fully agree.
Why can't they just stay consistent.
that 6 dollar sandwhich is the same as the dollar one because it is except for the bacon you can order that same sandwhich as a double cheese burger with only bacon and stacker sauce and its cheaper, and if you really want to makw sure your fries are frsh just order them no salt and put in on yourself and that way there always fresh, you just have to be smart about the way you order
Went to BK because I love(d) their coffee. I didn't know they had changed brands. When I opened the lid, I thought they had poured some that must have been sitting for hours. It didn't even smell like the coffee I had been getting, and tasted horrible. Then I saw the side of the cup proclaiming to have some Seattle's Best Coffee. I hope they get a million complaints about switching. Bring back the other coffee, PLEASE!
