| - Burger King. Always loved a good Whopper, still do but, uhhh, caloric limits on my diet don't allow for too much of it, lol.
So, I started buying salads more often than not at places like Subway; Arby's (they have a great Farmhouse salad there, I think they call it), even Quiktrip has a nice Santa Fe salad. I'm talking lunch here, not anything fancy. Umm, well not necessarily all of those are going to be "healthy" if you get all the heavy fat sauces and fried chicken and such on it, I think Subway probably takes it on that front if you want the healthiest thing available at a fast food chain.
So, anyway, I was in this BK restaurant in the middle of a hot summer, ordered up a salad that cost almost $6. I didn't order a drink or anything else with it, but I had a mug with me that I wanted to put a little ice in for some cold water to drink.
It was actually the manager of this restaurant that took my order of which I had already paid for.
So, I asked if I could put a little ice in the mug. This wasn't a gallon sized mug or something and it wasn't going to be that much ice. His reply? "We sell bags of ice here if you would like some ice". I thought he had misunderstood so I said, no, I just meant a little ice out of the dispenser over there for my mug.
He again replied that they sell bags of ice if I want to buy a bag of ice.
I was beginning to get irritated. So, I replied, you aren't going to let me get some ice in my mug? For the third time, the idiot repeated his bile that he was puking forth, as at this point I was getting plain mad. It was 115 degrees outside, I just wanted a LITTLE ice for my mug. I would have even given him 25 or 50 cents, whatever, I didn't need a whole bag of ice and there wasn't anything I could do with it besides filling up my mug and then there would be all that ice and wasted money spent on it.
Whatever. This guy was a broken record, all he could say was that I could buy a bag of ice. After he started in the 4th time, I interrupted him, said some unkind words to him I will have to admit and then demanded my money back. I hadn't received the salad and at this point, I didn't want it. He ungraciously refunded my money, started to make a comment, but I interrupted him again. Didn't want to hear it, had already heard his bag of ice line several times, whatever else he had to say, save it for another customer.
I don't tend to go back to places that I am dissed at and I can say with 100% surety that I have never been back to that Burger King. I used to go there 3 or 4 times per week, probably a good thing that happened, lol, get away from that food. I have gone to other BK's a few times since then, but, I guess that interaction with that manager left a bad taste in my mouth and a McDonald's Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack taste just as good to me : ) 2 stars instead of one because I haven't had this kind of problem at other BK's around the valley.
