This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This is reference to burger king store # 8119. I've been visiting this store for about 9 months now and never seen a male manager nor pl. I've also notice that an employee working there was once a manager at KFC. Not saying that the managers and Pl's that are there now are not doing there job, but its very rare to see male managers. Also noticed that a female at the same store probaly been working there around 1.5 months now have a black shirt, in which this guy i was speaking on has been there over 4.5 months. Yea you can say i see everything. Everytime im in the store which is everyday i see him bust his tail working, he's all over the place doing odd jobs making sure the store is clean. That's what type of people we need in management, not someone who has a lead to that position. I know it was a lead cause i overheard conversations as the employees were taking breaks in the store. I truly don't thnk this is the right choice. I see him motivated and yes qualified for the position but yet you make a FEMALE who's been there for a few weeks a pl. Please review this before i have to make a disrcimination complaint.

This is actually fairly common - at least it is Canada. For a few years now most fast food outlets charge for extras over and above what comes with your order. Not just burger king, but macdonalds and wendy's too...as well as some restaurants. Ask for lettuce A & W and that might cost extra, depending on the shop. Ask for cheese on something at most fast food shops and it's $1.00 extra.

We seldom use fast food outlets anymore...maybe A&W for the chicken, and arby's for the roast beef, and wendy's for the baked potato, but never macdonalds or burker king.

Maybe your best best would be complain to the Burger King head office. Since Burker King is a franchise maybe complaining to the HO might get some response.

She has spammed her own post.

Just another busybody who, rather than watch and monitor what her spawn are watching on TV, wants to pawn that responsibility off in the name of "decency".

Hey everybody, beware ...apparently there is a individual blogger who goes by the name "common sense"...he is a troll who purposely attacks message boards to sabotage what the monitor has wrote...don't trip by wasting your time...others have noticed it too...just continue to ignore the non sense...mine was recently attacked but the truth still stands so good, LOL! hey, the person might stop by and comment on this blog...if so good, it will expose him or HER so hardly anybody will care what "common sense" has said.

How to Protect a Message Board From Trolls

by A. Fool, Jan 31, 2017

Advice for moderators on how to identify and deal with trolls.
Having posted a humorous piece on How To Be A Successful Troll, this companion piece is to alert Mods as well as users to the very real danger.

The character who posts *&^& can easily be banned, gagged, and disposed of. The one who launches a vehement attack on another member of the message board can join him.

These are no brainers, on the part of the Troll and in the ease of banning him. The most dangerous and successful trolls will not resort to "no brainers." They will never post obscenities or coarse insults.

They employ the term; "Freedom of Speech" as license to deconstruct a message board.

The idea of an organised attack on a Message Board seems ridiculous if one isn't aware there exists a virtual Union of Trolls which congregates on particular sites regaling others of their exploits.

Taking down a Message Board is a like a Role Playing Game, (RPG) played with real people and real places. Just as winning an online game gets you meaningless points, so too does taking down a Message Board.

The first alert of an attack is often a complaint made by another poster to the Moderator. Disregard at your peril. If a poster takes the time and trouble to complain, (instead of the more usual logging off never to reappear) check it out.

Don't check it out with the attitude the Troll wishes you to adopt that is, Freedom of Speech. Trolls translate this term as absolute license. When you receive a response from a poster using the term; 'Freedom of Speech' your radar should blip...'Troll'. Only Trolls resort to this "defense".

As a Mod, when you examine a post, do it with these caveats:

1.Is it relevant to this site/topic?
2.Does it insult other posters?
3.Is it offensive on the face of it?
4.Would someone logging on for the first time get the correct sense of what this Message Board is about if s/he saw this post first?
If your answers to those questions are "no" for (a) and (d) and "yes" for (b) and (c) delete the post.

Depending on the history of the offender; how long has he been on this MB? What has been his contribution? Banning should be considered.

Most Mods/Owners make the mistake of waiting. They want to be "fair". They want to hear the Troll's side of the story.

Once this happens, the Troll knows he has clear sailing. The complaining poster who is disregarded logs off. She joins the battalion of others who have logged off without making the slightest attempt to reveal disgust. If a Mod does his or her "roster" it is easy to discern how many posters have ceased to log on since the offensive post was made.

Of course, most don't bother. The Troll does. The Troll has all the time in the world to check when his "enemies" last logged on. He knows when a "Veteran" poster has not logged on for three days, she's gone forever. He sees when a "hot" topic that was collecting posts every day is now cold. The Mod doesn't notice this.

Often a Troll, to keep up the number of "hits" and posts will fill the Message Board with active duals and "best friends". The Message Board has now become what the Troll wants; moribund.

Moderators, who might have originally banned the Troll but have been overruled by the Owner will cease to moderate. The fact that a perfectly useful message board has now become a sewer can happen in an hour. All it takes is one committed Troll.

It is better to ban hastily, then to allow one Troll to destroy a message board. Yet, the majority of owners, reading this, will supply all sorts of reasons and excuses as to why not to ban a poster or delete certain threads.

A month or so down the line, (if that long) when the Message Board is empty, Moderators have quit and the Troll has left the site, the Owner might realize why it was wiser to please the complaining poster, not the Troll.

"it suggests sexual and degrating images"
Well maybe if you're a gutter trollop.

"as well as disrespect to women"
Oh isn't this tired, over-used expression dead yet?
Wonder if the women in the ad feel the same way... probably not.

"we have to make a difference by taking a stand!"
Well aren't you just the little crusader.

Really, who cares. It's just an ad that'll run it's course in a couple weeks and then you can go out looking for something else to be offended by.

I didn't even bother to watch the commercial after I saw the 'square butt's dancing on the screen...it made me want to look away...which I did. I was going to drive through BK the other day and the image of the square butts popped into my head...I drove past because, for some reason, it made me lose my appetite.

I couldn't agree more! This ad campaign is disgusting, especially considering the market it is targeting! We need to stand together and let our voices be heard! That means not only supporting each other at sites like this, but also CALLING them to voice our displeasure [protected]) and by BOYCOTTING them. Hit them where it hurts--the almighty dollar. We've done it before and we can do it again. They are probably enjoying all the chatter this had generated because it keeps their name in the public eye, but a loss of revenue would wipe the smiles off their faces!

And this latest commercial is target for KIDS meals? Complain to your local BK too!

I agree with Brian. I think the square pants ad is digusting. Women shaking their butts to sell hamburgers . Burger Kings ads are getting more and more sexual and I have lost all respect for them. Every adult out there is responsible for keeping the children of the world safe and setting a good example.

Well YO YO MA...my three year old is not on the internet yet so I guess im lucky there. Do you not get my complaint that burger king is cross marketing a sexual explicit song with a KIDS MEAL? Well, based on your post I would advise you to just go ahead and spring for the clear heels and invest in a stripper pole. Im sure if you have a daughter that would be a wise investment. Ill be sure to tip her really well (I do visit strip clubs...I AM NO PRUDE AT ALL)...My point is that THIS IS MARKETED TOWARD CHILDREN you ###. Its one thing if kids run across inapropriate things that were not meant for them...THIS WAS TARGETED TOWARD THEM!...

Oh yes,

I want my kids to see some ugly mascot measuring a female's but...

That is disgusting... my 5 year old does not need to see that crap... and if that makes us "pre-historic" then so be it...

Now, why don't you go watch your kiddie porn and leave the insults alone...

Get over what? What is moral about that commercial... "booty is booty" that what the dude says in the commercial.. that does that have to do with a KIDS MEAL?

Key word KIDS...

Burger Kings job is to Sell food, not raise kids. If you feel the commercial is not safe for kids, then monitor what they watch, but do know that they have heard worse in church.

Sure they have-sarc . What church? And no parents cannot watch their kids 24 7. They sure can say no to Burger King.

I agree with the complaint. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I thought "this must be a gag". When I seen it for a second time I realized it was an actual commercial. I can see the point of the previous posters realist and yoyo ma, I do censor my childrens TV watching, but come on is this ad necessary to promote kids meals?

Don't be surprised if one of those Burger King employees that represent their employer spits (or worse) in your food. After all, that would fall within the same level of humor displayed in their trashy commercials.
