So i was really hungry, and i thought Burger King sounded good. So drove down to the food strip and went inside Burger King. There saying is: "Have it your way" They allow you to customize your burger. So, i had several cravings, so this is what i ordered:

Double decker angus beef burger, two chicken strips on top, with a slice of cheese between each patty and chicken, with 4 bacon strips, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, burger king texas sauce, served on a sesame seed bun with a side of ketchup, and a small Dr. Pepper.(lol, i think i'm pregnant)

The woman takeing my order just stared at me for about a minute, before i asked her if something was wrong. She just said: "Uhm, can you repeat your order again?" So i did, and she stared at me some more. I asked if there was a problem, and she goes: "Uhm, i think i need a manager." Then walks off...for about 5 mins!!!

I was thinking, was i not clear enough? I mean, you advertise, "Have it your way", well, this is my way right now! So give me my way!

A manager comes up and asks what the problem was. I'm thinking, i wasn't complaining, just ordering a damn sandwich!! So i repeated what i wanted to order. The manager stared at me for a minute...then he started looking at his register like there was a button for what i just said. I was like, come the frack on. LOL. He goes to the back and starts to talk to one of the cookers. Comes back and tells me: "We can't do that." I ask why not, and he goes: "Becuase we can't. But if you would like to order several sandwiches and put them together yourself, you can." I looked at him and was like, "Your slogan say's i can have it my way." he says: "That's just a slogan." I was like, WTF!!??

So i left, and went to the nearest food store, and bought everything and cooked my own sandwich. Took an hour to do, lol.

anyway...Burger King = LIAR!!

yah, i was pretty mad, not only did i spend $20 on the ingredients, but it took an hour to make...when burger king had everything right there, and it would have taken them maybe 5 mins to make, and there policy says that they can't charge you more then the main sandwich price...so i would have got it for like $4 heh(most likely why they didn't want to make it, because they would loose like 10 dollars on the sale).

or go to dairy queen and ask for spaghetti with relish (my friends actually did that one, lol)

Lol, nice story! Sorta reminds me of the time me and my friend were at KFC with his parents. We ordered some family special for 4 people and they give you a 2 liter "pitcher" (which is more like a giant cup), that they allow you to fill with pop. Well, since we couldn't decide on a 1 pop flavor, we just filled our cups up at the fountain. Since the giant cup was empty and clean of pop, me and my friend asked if they'd fill up the whole thing with baked beans ...Unfortunately, just like burger king, they wouldn't do it

I would not be suprised if your friends parents told them not to fill it, what an awful night that would have been.

^_^ Nah, they were at the table while we did it. The kid just refused to fill it, probably because he was too lazy to do the math to figure out how many sides of beans fit in the 2 liter cup

i dont see any point in sueing...one, it'll be years before i get into court with a case, and two, it take another few years to see any money, if i win that is..and before that, if it even got to court, the franchise would try and settle with a set amount sum...which i'd take, lol...i'm not greedy

That's exactly what Fudrucker's does. Is that only a Texas thing? It is awesome, you can put anything you want on your burger. It's more expensive though.

[Edit]
Haha, I accidentally mistyped Fudrucker's and the obscenity filter got me.

Meh, BK and MaceyD's are supposed to be used when you are 2 steps away from starving and everywhere else has gone out of business or only sell things made out of squid (Dad loves the stuff). Especially MaceyD's. Plastic food is never that nice. Everyone always has a childhood burger joint that "had the best burgers ever!". In my case it is the CT Speed Feed. Tiny place near the cemetary in Holyhead (if anyone is interested) where you can eat your lunch watching the ferries float by while using a grave as your picnic table (honest, it is like day of the dead at lunch time in Holyhead). Basically hasn't changed in the last 20 years, and the main selling point is the sauces. Basically he has about 30 sauces (that he made himself) you can have on your burger. When we were broke and unemployed we used to pop up there and get a chip bap and then use all 30 sauces (a couple of beers first to get the courage to ask for *all* 30 sauces). Was totally awesome. Basically a party in your mouth. In a good way. Inspired by Red Dwarf's curry sandwich effort (stupid mix that somehow is actually great), and even beats my peanut butter, jelly (jam for UK, but I grew up on the stuff in an American base, so I'm excused), salad cream (bringing back the Britishness right there...), banana, chilli sauce, and tomato sauce flavour sandwich. Try my sandwich BTW, it totally rocks. Esp after a couple of beers.

Oh, and I second "long live Subway". They totally rule. Only downside is that after getting used to having one 5 minutes walk away from where I work, I now find out there isn't one on the whole of Cyprus! Noooooooo!!!!!! Now only need that $100000, or whatever it is, to open my own Subway shop (look it up online for how much to join the franchise). There is thousands everywhere else, but none here. Surely I don't need a place to live? Dammit... Still, quite happy there is a Nandos here. Gotta love that place (and the eat with your hands policy). That extra hot sauce is seriously nice

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Fuddruckers in Columbus, Ohio

- 121 Campus View Bl. 43235 ----------------- (614) 885-6556
- 3586 W. Dublin-Granville (rt.161) 43235 --- (614) 718-0300
- 3560 Fishinger Bl. 43221 ------------------ (614) 771-7550
- 5271 E. Main St. 43213 -------------------- (614) 759-4389


(just got a new phone book in the mail, had to use it for something other than leveling out my piano)

I used to live off rt.161, the campus view isn't too far from that either. It's in a complex with Buca di Beppo, Alexanders steak house and Ruth's Chris steak house. (ruth's has very good filet mignon) The one on Main street I think is closer to Whitehall or Reynoldsburg and the Fishinger one I only have a vague idea where thats at.

Any slogan that can be seen as a promise (have it your way) is actually enforceable by law. You could if you wanted to sue and probably win. Win what... i have no idea (a lard a$$)

Pork chops??!! Whenever I go to Ruth's Chris (gone several times) I always get the filet mignon. I remember the first time I went there, my dad took us out. My dad and brother ordered a beer(bottle of miller) and after my dad found out the price he said "you're drinking water the rest of the night". I went to one out in Jersey recently, wasn't quite as good as the one in Ohio.

That must have made this years NCAA Championship game a tough one for you.

Good luck with suing for that though, a judge would likely never even let it go to trial (what are your damages?). IIRC there was a suit similar to this early 90's and it was ruled that only "standard" condiments were included in BK's have it your way motto. Another proplem comes along with the old "at participating locations line" thats always in fine print, A franchise owner can do many things different from a corporate store.

Personally I worked at good old McD's for 9 years as a manager and even though its not the slogan I would have made the sandwich for you, might have cost you $7, but I would have made it. I remember having to make alot of sausage egg biscuts with pickels onions tomatoes and sweet and sour sauce, goofed around one day with a regular who liked weird things and it caught on.

Quote: "As for the lady who burnt her stupid self with coffee, she did win the lawsuit."


Thank god the judge tossed the jury award on that one and dropped it to medical costs/lawyers fees and wiped the pain and suffering bit. dropped it down it and still has not been payed while in appeal
