I usually write about politics, particularly about the insanity that has gripped our youth (even greater now than in the past, except for during the Vietnam war).
However, sometimes a situation occurs that simply BEGS to be addressed.
I rarely eat out at the typical fast food joints, except maybe when my grandson is in town and I am doing the lunchandshow outing with him. OK, he's a chicken nuggets, apple kind of guy, so I'm fine with that.
Recently I came across a coupon book for discount meals at my local Burger King restaurant, located on Del Prado Ave in sunny Cape Coral, Florida. I had ordered two "Whoppers" a few days earlier. They were OK, but not as I remembered them. The mead covered the bun, but where in the past there was a lot of my favorite, lettuce and tomato, it felt as if I had to search through the ketchup in order to find any.
Last night I was running late, so I dropped in to that same Burger King. This time I ordered two "Junior Whoppers", one for now, and one for tomorrow's lunch, and raced home to catch NCIS. After my earlier experience, I cut a nice, big slice of tomato and tore some lettuce to add to my burger. Sitting down, I unwrapped and opened the burger to add my veggies....HORRORS! to coin a phrase, Where's the BEEF?!
What I saw really, really ticked me off. There, in the middle of that smaller burger, was a piece of meat about the size of a silver dollar. To be specific, there was an inch of bun visible all the way around that teensy, weensy little patty. I've had slices of breadfast sausage that were bigger than this patty.
So, I immediately went to the kitchen, got that second "Junior Whopper" and opened it. Yep, you guessed it; another 'one bite' burger. I did the diligent thing. I cut up that second patty and snuggled it up to the first on the first bun. Lo and Behold! Together, both patties had to be combined to fill the "Junior Whopper" bun to the edge....you know, like the advertising picture shows.
Now, I paid three dollars and change for these two "Junior Whoppers" and two fries. I ended up with ONE burger, and too many fries to eat (I don't save fries). Beside that, using all the veggies from both burgers didn't cover the meat.
In a word, a disgusting experience. I felt as if the owner of that franchise was combining several patties, then cutting the size way down to boost his/her profits. I do not buy from a business or a company that cheats its customers.
I suggest that those who order burgers from Burger King do their due dilligence. OPEN the burgers right there at the counter and demand the correct amount of meat! This experience was ridiculous, and I will not be buying a meal there again. It's simply too expensive a price to pay for what you get.
Buyer beware!!!!
