This is a phenomena that I have experienced at numerous Burger Kings from New York to Florida, and I can't explain it.
Why when you ask for extra pickles on your Burger King sandwich do they not put any extra on?
I have eaten at hundreds of Burger King restaurants over several decades. I am the type of person who does not eat tomatoes, and I always ask for them to be left off my sandwich (certainly, Burger King likes this, because the cost of tomatoes has risen dramatically over the years).
When I order my Whopper, I always say, "No tomato, extra pickle." They abide by my wishes of leaving the tomato out of the sandwich, but when I open up the sandwich to check for extra pickle, I usually see a single pickle.
I experienced this same thing for the umpteenth time this past Saturday at a Burger King right around the corner from where I live. I know it is no big deal to ask again for the extra pickle--which I did--but why should I have to do this anyway?
Burger King supposedly prides itself as the fast food chain of choice for those who want to have their sandwiches their way, but when I ask for extra pickle, I have it their way, not mine.
I would say, if I didn't know better, that this was an isolated incident, but I have been at too many Burger King restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard to know that it isn't. I don't know what happens out West and overseas, but on the East Coast of the United States, this is what happens.
I want to know why? Why can't I have it my way?
I usually get plain cheeseburgers when I go to Burger King, so I can't add anything from personal experience here. I did notice when i searched online that there was a lawsuit against Burger Kinbg for putting a pickle on a hamburger contrary to a customers request. Of course "Don't Put Onions on Your Hamburger" is going through my mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's really just a crazy thing. If it was at one restaurant, I might almost understand, but when I have found it is systemwide (at least on the East Coast), I have to wonder.
