Ultimate Debate #3 McDonalds (pro) VS Burger King (con)

Being that this is the final round, we are allowed to refute. (REBUTTALS) “As long as employees are following company standards, Burger King's food is always fresh. Salads are made to order fresh” What does this mean, made fresh? Like the ingredients are fresh (doubt it), or that it is made there? (most likely) Also, Mcdonalds is fresh too (check this out) {1} “Plus, with the Burger King motto of "Have it Your Way", you can add or take a way as much as you would like. ” You can always do that with McDonalds too! It is like that in almost any fast food restaurant, you can say to take away the lettuce or add extra cheese. “The meats are made fresh as well. ” Same as Mcdonalds, look at {1} “The only things fried are the french fries and the breaded chicken and fish. ” How about the Bacon on poutine, whopper, and everything else from BK that has bacon. And DON’T tell me that Bacon ain’t fried. It is. Ozzyhead, I think you are smart enough to know that you don’t sell raw bacon. Even if you don’t fry it in store it is most likely pre-fried. “Burger King is better in pure competition of food. It seems nowadays when McDonalds does something in the world of fast food burgers, Burger King one ups them. Look at how the Big Mac was copied by Burger King and sold for a fraction of the price. ” Wait, you are opposing me right? So when you say burger king copied Mcdonalds, you completely ruined your whole point (round 3) about how BK is also innovative! You say that they copy, which is so NOT INNOVATIVE! You are going against yourself. “Burger King just got a new CEO about a year ago, a very young, bright young man that is from the line” So if I am right, he is 33? Woah. What experience does he have? Next to none! And, you make these claims on him being innovative and stuff, and smart, but you have no proof of this. Also, just as a side note, younger people aren’t (on average) as smart as older people {2} “While Burger King has been in some controversy, it may be safe to say that that is going away under the command of a new captain” How do you know? “The problem with these comparisons is that the way a sandwich looks relies on the employees and managers of the store. ” I don’t think that it is safe to say that, because, quite frankly you don’t know! He is new! He might screw things up, for all we know! Well, both Burger King and McDonalds have employees. For every McDonalds employee that screws up a Big Mac is a Burger King who screws up the Big King. “Unlike McDonalds, who uses fake grill marks and does who knows with their burgers, Burger King has stayed true to it's roots, and only grills them. ” This contradicts your argument about Burger King being innovative. How can you be innovative and stay true to your roots? How? And plus, it is not like searing burgers is incorrect? Most diners and restaurants sear their burgers. “Burger King has also added innovations to the Big King” Just the big king? Well, I posted an argument about how McDonalds makes harder choices, like adding pizza to the menu. “In the mid-nineties, McDonald’s decided to go into the pizza business; the resulting pizza was bland (like much of McD’s food offerings), and most people who actually wanted pizza went to a pizza place like they always had. ”{3} Or the McPasta, or the McLean. My whole point is that while yes, Burger King has some innovations, McDonalds is more willing to innovate and make hard choices, plus McDonalds makes food to fit in with the local culture, like Kosher-Foods in Israel. “My opponent points out that one individual's” This was a rebuttal, and thus is not allowed per rules of conduct. Seriously. Stop. “Burger King recently did an ad supporting gay pride and LGBT rights, introducing for a short amount of time during gay pride week. They used the slogan "Be Your Way". People believe this was just a publicity stunt, however, in the upcoming months, this slogan is going to become permanent, as my managers were told via email. This shows the connection the company has with it's customers. ” I agree with the whole LGBTQ rights, but I would like to point out that you breached conduct once again. “connection the company has with it’s customers. ” Let me refresh you on the conduct: “This is not about the company, JUST the fast food chains. So any arguments must be related to the restaurant NOT to just the company” So, thus, taking about the company, you breached conduct. Again. Once more, I understand that you were pressed for time, and it is easier to refute than come up with arguments, but rules are rules. Thus, that whole argument is negated, so I will not refute any more points in that argument. “McDonalds maybe unique in their naming of products, I will never disagree with that, but Burger King has kept things simple. Simple is sometimes better. ” WHAT THE HECK? Ok, first you say that BK is not innovative (they copied) then you say they are and now you say they are not again? Are you kidding me? You are going against yourself so hard. “I do believe Burger King is better. They provide a friendly service when the employees are trained right. My store gets 10,000 cars through the drive thru a month and we have a rather small amount of complaints” Remember my point on customer service? Well, sorry bud, your BK might be a good BK, but looking at the chain in general, BK sucks. (CONCLUSION) WHY WE HAVE WON -We provided 9 substantial points compared to your 6/7 arguments. - You broke conduct. Twice. -My arguments were better. -I successfully refuted your points. -Your arguments contradicted each other. I had a very good time debating you again, and I look forward to more future debates!
