A Viewer Writes... 6-19-14

Went to bk yesterday ordered a double whooper. Then I saw this sign and went with it.they said I only get one extra patty on a double.
I explained that double meat any whooper means four patties. 2x2=4 . The poor Mexicans in there kept saying it's not. There is no exemptions on the sign. So pulled up and had a discussion on it. Once again the same deal. Only when I said I had pictures and videos of our convo and I was going to sbynews did they budge. It's a shame that it took a threat of media to make them honor their advertisements.

Wow. A quadruple Whopper. Only 1400 calories and 1100mg of sodium. Hope you got fries with that.

I went by .... Had the same result. I ultimately won the argument. Stuffed full. Great deal if it wasn't for the hassle.they just couldn't understand the double a double concept.Lmao. It's worth the laugh though.

A whopper only has one patty. Doubling that would be 2 but I guess your one of those people that everyone hates. One that just doesn't get it. One who tries to take advantage of everyone's mistakes. And of course one who can do no wrong. It's people like you that I love to irritate. You should be proud of yourself, you won, you beat them out of a piece of meat woohoo I bet your happy now. Let me guess, you weigh about 300 pounds, you lay around the house all day or work for the state. You should write a book on how to be just like you. I truly hope you did not have any of your 5 kids in the car with you. I would hate to think your training others. Just so you know I didn't proof read this only to give you and others like you something to do
Just saying...

6:13 talk about existing to irate others....
Its a matter of principal, and false advertising.
It clearly states, double the meat on ANY whopper.
I see you do not excel in math.
I got a laugh out of the post until you came along.
What a buzz kill, you must be really fun at parties.

And if you genius, since obviously your the smart one read the article correctly, it says he ordered a double whopper, with double the meat, so Einstein how many patties would that equal?

wow hateful much? btw, he ordered a DOUBLE whopper. that means two patties. and if he doubled that, it would be 4 patties like he said.

you need anger management or something. and clean your crystal ball genie

Their patties are thin nowadays. Not like they used to be. People want their money's worth. No different than an all you can eat buffet.

613, a double whopper has how many patties? And double that is how many patties?

Okay, by Common core standards you get a 75% score for missing the overall facts, and assuming that a whopper was not a double whopper when in fact that the story is about double whoppers. I don't know why, because my score to your ignorance is zero.

Now, let's go ahead and add that there is an actual sign at the drive thru that states actual facts that seem fuzzy to you, but not to other people who also seem to have a talent to reading them. Small wonder.

It's one thing to ask those who choose to make sign making their career should learn to spell first, and yet another for those who read them to agree to be on the same page.

I have so much trouble with math. Doubling a 2 patty burger is beyond my comprehension level. I'll just keep my job here at Wallops Rocket Design and let the higher ups figure this one out.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have been at BK and we wouldn't have this discussion.

But judging from most comments, it is a childish one at that.

So you threatened them with taking it to the media if they didn't make it right. You finally got your sandwich the way you wanted and you still took it to the media? Sounds like you are the dishonest one, though I am glad you exposed the problem. Anyway, worry about more important things. Life is short....

I doubt the author of the letter would find a "whooper" at BK anyway. Check your spelling before you rant. LOL

how is he the dishonest one? he only wanted what they advertised and he paid for.

your thinking knows no bounds. genius has limits, but stupidity is infinite.

you have the whole universe in front of you.

I had a much stronger word in mind to describe him, but I'll keep it pg.

It says double the meat on any Whopper not any Double Whopper or Triple Whopper. They are different sandwiches. Any Whopper would include the specialty Whoppers as well as the regular Whopper.

5:11 am, I think the commenter was trying to say the customer was dishonest because he said he would take it to the media if he didn't get his sandwich. He got his sandwich and took it to the media anyway. That IS dishonest. Don't beat somebody up for a simple observation. It's just over a "whooper", after all. LOL

Here's what cracks me up. This Post is the #1 Post for the past 24 hours.

Agree or disagree with the person who sent this in, the impact has been incredible.

I personally agree with the person who sent this in. It states ANY Whopper. Therefore they either need to take down the promotion or satisfy each customer.

I disagree. The only dishonesty I see is Bk not wanting to do what they advertised.

I'm not beating anyone up over a whopper or anything else. I am just correcting their flawed logic.

This man wanted what he ordered and paid for. Threatening to take 'it to the media' is irrelevant.

He was helping to show BK's DISHONEST business practices. How that is being dishonest from him, regardless of any media contact, is beyond me.

This world gets more and more upside down every day. Joining this conversation and then telling me not to discuss it because it 'is only a whopper', is a little odd.

But this whole subject and some of its' commenters are a little odd.

I hope I crossed all my 't's and dotted all my 'i's to be perfect like you and some of the others.

I can't believe this post has 27 comments about a burger. And then blaming the victim. lol.

I want you to read what you posted and see how long it takes you to realize that 1: you're full of bs, 2: you whole comment is a contradiction, 3: it's funny to read at first, but then I realize that this is how you actually think and there are others like you that think this way also..

I suggest if you post a comment in the future, that you proof read it first.

Double the meat on a triple Whopper. That would be something to see. Well worth an extra $. This makes 40 total comments.

To the original poster, you realize that the 4th patty you finally got after your argument was probably dropped on the floor and spit on. Hope you enjoyed your meal.

1106. Why the hate. So sick of people badmouthing from here's. Travelled all over the world and there is no place like home. Leave if you don't like locals. And to the point who the hell eats 4 hamburger patties. I'll give you a dollar to buy a salad next time

I see no dishonesty. He never said he wasn't going to go to the media.as a matter of fact it said he/she was going to sbynews.

At least you can taste Burger King's food! We went to KFC by Kmart on Friday night and the chicken had absolutely NO taste! It was awful! But we had yet to see a smile from anyone (borderline rude) who waited on us so we just decided not even bring it to their attention, for fear of getting our heads ripped off. LOL
