Talk:Burger King/Archive 2

message: According to MSNBC, Burger King ranks #1 in its list of the worst fast food restaurants in terms of food safety. I went last night to a local branch here in Austin to check, I didn't expect to see exactly what is said in the report including, but not limited to, employees handling ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands. I don't know if this is normal here (since there were other customers and none of them complained), but having lived in Saudi Arabia for a long time, I've never seen this kind of violation there, even in Burger King itself. -- Eagleamn 20:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: * Sounds like a local issue.  I haven't seen such behavior in any Columbus locations.  If it were me I'd email the restaurant chain with what I saw and when. -- N okla 23:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: *I can easily obtain a video and attach it to the email, as their practices are still the same. However, it is very interesting to read: "Communication with Burger King Corporation is not accepted via e-mail." Well, I think they receive too many complaints by email than their inbox size. - Eagleamn 22:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe the Burger Kings in my area are atypical, but you can still get paper crowns. —tregoweth 00:44, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
* I haven't asked for one recently, but I clearly recall getting a paper crown not too terribly long ago. I'll go to the fast food strip down the street later today and see if they have any. :-) --Cuervo 13:43, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: WTF is THIS? "Burger King is also the secret code name of a boy named Blake Kemp who is liked by a girl named Karishma. She is REALLY obsessed with him, doing things like diving for items that he touched. And yet, she does not talk to him..." Should someone remove it?24.205.171.234 21:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Anyone know or want to add pop culture references of Burger King?  I know of two:
*In The Cosby Show Cliff tells his son, that life isn't Burger King. 
"Because this isn't Burger King You can't have it your way." Because Theo was questioning about the test question styles.
*In the Anime Series SuperGALS a restaurant with the name "Burger Queen" can be seen.

message: The Taco Bell article has a Notable employees section that includes all kinds of past employess that went on to become famous musicians, entertainers, etc.  I know Metallia guitarist Kirk Hammett worked at a Burger King to save up for his first guitar, so maybe we can gather up some famous employees of Burger King and make it a list. If we don't know of enough employees, maybe a simple Trivia section should be in order to just include some fun facts and notes. - Caleson August 25, 2006
:Are fun facts and mindless trivia encyclopedic?  This is an encyclopedia, not a compendium of useless facts. Peyna 12:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Define "mindless."  Do you honestly think someone would find the mentioning of noteable employees to be absolutely mindless or insane? Considering the many Wikipedia pages that include Trivia sections, I think most people would find it rather interesting and perfectly suitable. They provide a place for notable information that simply wouldn't fit into other sections of the article. In fact, I have yet to see anyone argue the concept of Trivia sections - well, except you.

message: Should any mention be made of the fact that at Burger King you can ask them to remove (or add) things from the Burger? As far as I'm aware they're the only major burger selling group around that does it. Night Bringer 13:36, 12 September 2006 (GMT +10)
:Honestly, I think most fast food restaurants would take a request to modify parts of your order. But Burger King is the only major chain to promote this concept with the "Have it your way" tag line and several commercials focusing on this, so yes, it is notable. Cale 06:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I dont like McDonalds way of doing it. I put my order in like 2 seconds before they stop serving breakfast and the person said" I'm sorry sir were not serving breakfast anymore order something else please". it was an odd moment as i had watched them put my food int he little heater thing. I ordered a 1/4-lb.er. i was annoyed to say the least. Dappled Sage 03:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: This article has been subject to a lot of vandalism recently. Just a few moments ago, the entire article was replaced by a juvenile and irrelevant narrative paragraph.  Perhaps if this continues, this article should be locked. Eaghassi 09:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Remove the statement "All Australian outlets are now under the Hungry Jack's name."  This may have been the case for a long time, but sadly, Burger King branded outlets have started appearing in recent years.  There are several in Melbourne's CBD alone.

replies: text: Most shops in Australia were Hungry Jacks until recently. How recently? Wouldn't know. I haven't seen any that have changed unless they've been renovated which isn't many in my area, except for new shops. I think some were actually changed back to HJ. Can anyone else confirm this? In my area (Gold Coast, QLD,Australia) they are all HJs. rmccue 06:51, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
