Coupon Kerfuffle​



Sounds like a great deal to us, but liberals go berserk when they find discount coupons for guns and ammunition on the back of their Burger King receipts.

“I was appalled,” said lawyer Susan Wolf when she found the ad on her receipt, which read, “Good for one free box of ammo with gun purchase or 10% off.” The offer was placed by a Catonsville sporting goods shop, whose ownership was apparently under the mistaken impression that theirs is not an inherently evil enterprise.

It’s common for franchises to print coupons and advertisements for other businesses on the reverse of sales receipts, spurring sales for all concerned. But when Burger King corporate headquarters was told of the guns-’n-ammo ads, they immediately ordered the Baltimore franchise owner to get rid of them.
American handgunners might want to be aware of Burger King’s head-office attitude:

“It’s not the image that Burger King would like to be associated with in any way,” says corporation spokesperson Kim Miller. She didn’t mention whether Burger King will accept ads from porno shops or political campaigns.

Keep in mind, they probably would rather not be burdened with the business — or money — of law-abiding gun owners, either. Personally, I’ll have a whopper my way from now on — not at all.

By the way, that Burger King manager, Michael Sharifi, said the only complaint received was the one from the local lawyer. It seems other customers weren’t all that offended. Just what we need: another reason to hate lawyers.

This......not good.

We had to make an emergency trip to Charlotte fly up drive back, and on the way back near Savannah, wife was starving and needed to stop, and we had 6 plus hours to go, so I stopped for gas and ShitK was was next door. So reluctantly since it was there, we both ate and remembered immediately why we haven't eaten fast food in 3 - 4 years.
 
you duped yourself.

So for the first time in probably at least 10 yrs I ate Burger King today. It was almost 2 and we had had anything since last night and we had to run around all day today. Good Lord I'll never do that again. Just God awful.

Have fun virtue signaling, if you dug far enough you would find that most corporations don't give a shit about your rights, guns or anything else, although I assume this is mostly a matter of "oops, we forgot to create a policy to block franchiseees from doing these things" and I can safely say the spokesperson had the dumbest response possible.

Conhugecos that are smart try to stay the f*** away from politics whenever they can, especially if their customer base is broad.
 
I (mostly) only go to BK for breakfast. two SEC croissantwiches for $5 is the best bargain going vs Dunks, McDonald's, Bojangles, or anywhere else with a drive-up window.

bonus that my local BK has ample parking if I have my boat in tow (& have to run inside) where none of the others do.

nothing on the back of our receipts

I now return you to our regularly scheduled drivel

About the only fast food I occasionally visit is Wendy's. Can't remember the last time I ate BK food.

The last time I ate ANY of that crap was a good six or seven years ago now. Trip north, the old man needed something to drink, or his blood sugar was cratering, or something, and we found ourselves at the Brattleboro McDonald's just south of the rotary. He went in to get whatever, and came back out and handed me an unsolicited bag of fries. They weren't as good as I remember.

Burger King? Probably not in thirty years or more. Wendy's? At least twenty or twenty-five. My folks found themselves at a Wendy's last year I guess it was, and were unimpressed.

If I'm going to have a burger*, it'll be from a local joint that knows how to do them, e.g.:
fritzssnackbar.com

The Original Fritz's Snack Bar Oxford CT

Fritz's Snack Bar, 72 Oxford Rd., Oxford, CT 06478, 203-888-9604. Family style diner since October 1954 serving the best breakfast, lunch and dinner.
fritzssnackbar.com fritzssnackbar.com

* "Burger" implies bun which implies wheat, so usually no, unless wheat-free.

Why the BK hate? Apart from fast food?

I LOVE their Whopper Jrs! Don't eat fast food, but about twice a year I'll partake of a couple of them. Flame broiled patty, dragged thru the garden, plenty of mayo...what's not to like? The extra connective tissue is a bonus.

They're bots, financed by McDonald's and/or Wendy's?

As someone who deals with regular irregularity, it's beneficial for me.

One's man's cheap is another man's value.



I remember a long time ago hearing someone talk about how they eat so healthy now that they have Panera for their fast food meals. I had them tally up the calorie count of their YouPick2, a half salad, a half sandwich, and a piece of bread.

End result of their meal plus green tea drink was more sugar, fat, trans fat, calories, and salt than any of the main 3 burger joints double (DB 1/4 lber, Double whopper, Dave's classic double) with a large fry and a large soda. And they paid $8 more for the privilege.


IIRC, it was a half Bacon Turkey Bravo, half chicken caesar salad, the chunk of french bread, and a Green tea.
 
Not a surprise, these corporations don't want to touch anything that would upset Cancel Culture.

It's been at least 7 years since the last time I went to a Burger King. It wasn't bad 25 years ago, but something changed and now all their food is like slop in a pile between two soggy buns in a wrapper. The few times a year I go for fast food it's McDonald's and that's mainly for the shamrock shake, which just so happens to be back now.

Meh a burger from one of these places here and there isn't a big deal. It's the fries, sugary drinks and desserts that f*** you up.

This. A BK bacon double cheeseburger is one of the best single things to grab when you're hungry on the go. McD's, Sonic and Wendy's don't flame broil. Down here there's Cookout, too, which is pretty good.
