RACIST Burger King Rude Employees

They were laughing because you complained over a little chicken fry.

Secondly, you were on a timer. You're not supposed to check your food,
[I work at burgerking] we get in trouble as soon as the timer goes
over 2 minutes. If you wish to check it, pull up and then check it. If
somethings wrong come inside and ask for a refund/exchange.

I agree though that they were kind of rude to you, laughing. And even
the guy honking was rude. I really hate it when I have a customer at
the window and someone behind them starts honking. It's like "excuse
me? Respect, you'll get your turn the world isn't ending yet, fatty".

They were laughing at you because you threw a fit over a bent chicken
fry. Besides, defective generally means that something doesn't work in
the way it was intended to. As long as the chicken fry was edible and
could in turn at nurishment to your body (as much as fast food can
anyway) then it was not defective.

Did it ever cross your tiny race-card-flipping mind that they had run
out of Sprite? Perhaps the delivery was mixed up, or the machine was
broke. And as for that assinine comment about the defective fry -
Jeebus, are you full of yourself or what? Plus you want free meals FOR
A WHOLE YEAR. You are the most shameless Gimmee-Pig I have ever seen,
all wrapped in the self-righteous delusional flag of percieved racism.
Grow up already. Nobody hates you because you're Hispanic, they hate
you because you are a nasty selfish person with entitlement issues.

are you seriously kidding me???? all this over a damn chicken fry?
RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT LADY.. GET OVER IT! I think YOUR the
racist here. You heard laughing from them? I woulda laughed at you too
for being so pathetic! and lady? the guy honked at YOU... he can't
hear whats going on.. he wants you to move your racist self

This is hilarious. Especially how you thought that the other drivers
were honking because they were on your side. LOL They couldn't even
hear what was going on. They just wanted you to move. *repeated LOL*

I worked at Burger King for five years. We didn't always have certain
drinks available because, gee, machinary breaks sometimes. Not all the
food at Burger King is the same uniform shape. And just because
employees are laughing and talking while working doesn't mean they're
laughing at you.

You really need to just grow up and stop being so paranoid.

Perhaps it wasn't so much as a race issue. I currently work with BK.
Alas it is a crappy job and I will be happy to leave. But if it is a
rush time, during lunch more so... soda is very hard to replace in the
back rooms, it is heavy and most people have problems with it. One of
them people who are able may be busy at that time and not able to fill
that order for that soda at that time. If your time was about four
min. I can already say that someone had a larger order in front of
you. Our only goal on drive-thur is to keep time down, really to about
2:15. Whenever someone gives us a horrid problem that is going to take
up more time, we usually get pissed off and make comments. Then you
checking your order again I'm sure annoyed people. Other poeple want
to be served too. You're one out of a million to us. Yes we try, sorry
everything isn't perfect all the time. But people who do this are the
people that give me bad days.

omfg. Dumbass.


OH NOES, AM I A RACIST NOW???

If this isn't a trolling post, then I think the poster has some
serious entitlement "issues".

OMG!!! I got onion rings from Burger King and ONE OF THEM WAS
STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!

It's discrimination, I tell you!!!!!!


I'm going to sue!!!!!!!!!!!!1











Or not.

Lady, if this is what you consider racism, you have lived a charmed
life. Likewise, if getting a "deformed" chicken fry from Burger King
is the worst thing that ever happens to you, you should count yourself
extremely lucky.

Sweet Jesus. You've got problems.

.

You want a YEAR of free food from BK because there was a "deformed"
chicken fry?

Are you sure the employees weren't laughing at you because of your
attitude and demeanor and not your ethnicity? It sounds like there was
plenty to laugh at without being part of any ethnic group.

Get the chip off your shoulder, it's blocking your view of the real
world.

If I referred to myself as a proud white women I would be called a
racists. Get a life

Free meals for one year?! Are you kidding me?! You do realize that you
were at Burger King and not a five-star restaurant right?

First of all, I don't know why you were shocked that BK didn't have
Sprite available. I've had that happened to be plenty of times. It's
not like they can instantly get more if its not available.

Second, who cares if one chicken fry was a little shorter than the
other! Not every chicken fry is going to be the same.

Also, the guy behind you was not honking at the lady in the window, he
was honking at YOU because you wouldn't leave.

Burger King does not owe you anything! If you want better service,
then go to an actual restaurant! You get what you pay for!

FYI, la raza is a racist, hispanic supremecy group. "for the race
everything, for others, nothing".
Does that sound familiar? It should, as its their moto.

DISCRIMINATION!!! I call discrimination for that poor, helpless,
little chicken fry you so callously tossed aside. Even short, bent
chicken fries need to feel appreciated!

This is a joke right? The Applebee's posting was hilarious and you
just keep them coming. I keep coming back for more. Please don't let
me down...keep going out in public and being offended!

Virginia, this is twice in a row you have taken home the prize for
posting a totally banal complaint and getting a ton of feedback. Wow
you are good. I find this one to be even more incredulous than the
Applebee's posting.

I am wondering, are you truly an Oxygen Thief, or incredibly
conniving, deliberately posting these ignorant complaints and sitting
back laughing at the enraged aggravated responses you have generated.


I do have a final question tho. Was your child trying to hide his face
as you made him endure the humiliation I strongly suspect he was
feeling? Better hope none of his friends from school find out about
the great bent Chicken Fry event, cuz if they do, it will not be
racism that puts him on the bottom of the social pecking order until
he leaves town for college. (Assuming any colleges will accept some
one from his race)

My apologies, I am overdosing from my first day on PFB. I am getting a
bit trite. (Does not mean I am not going to hit send tho.)

Burger King:
I will personally stop eating at your establishment if you respond to
this woman. In fact, you should bar her nationwide from your
establishment (Applebees should do the same). Not because she is
hispanic, of course. But because she is maybe the dumbest person ever.
I hope her child learns better.

Virginia: You and the Doc needs to get together, you both feel like
everyone owes you at all cost. This is very sad. You really have
some issues. Have you ever stop to think that the drama in your life
could actually be just YOU! It either Race or FREE! I guess you
want your cake and eat it too! Get a life!

This must be all you have time to do. Looking for other faults, oh,
yeah, you will find them that for sure, but guess what? Yeah, You
have them too miss priss. Your not perfect either, if I remember
correctly Adam and Eve destory our perfection, right?

You need to find something else to do with your time>
Like trying to be a better person yourself!
GET A LIFE!!

It sounds to me after reading your Applebee's letter, you feel as you
are entitled to special treatment since you are Hispanic. I call it
BullCrap. I at first thougth this was about a chicken fry...but nope,
its about the fact that you think you deserve special treatment. Well
get over yourself lady....YOU DONT! And you dont have the 1st clue
what racism is. There are citizens in our country who deal with true
racism on a daily basis. They are the ones who are treated badly,
however I dont read letters from them begging for free food. Is this
how you pay for your night outs? Free food? That is down right
disgusting and should be illegal. I hope to hello that you dont live
in Texas, where we have a large Mexican population, I think that they
would not be very impressed with your claims.

She's learned her lesson, lay off her (see below).

I've just thought for a bit. I still stand by what I said, but if this
'article' is genuine (ie if Virginia wrote this because she genuinely
thought she was the subject of racism - albeit wrongly) rather than an
attempt to get lots of replies, then I think after all the
understandably negative posts, it's time to lay off.

Virginia has probably learned how ridiculous she was acting and is now
almost certainly embarassed that she posted this gripe. Sure, she may
be a really arrogant person who still thinks that she was right to
post it and everyone else is wrong, but we have no reason to assume
that, just as she had no reason to assume that she was a victim of
racism.

In short, how about laying off her now? I'm sure she's learned her
lesson.

To be fair (my post is below), I think it's right that this woman
complained as she'd asked for nine chicken fries, not eight, and
nobody should have to pay for thin air at a place that is run on
profits. It's just wrong the way she went about it (see post below)

I saw this linked to from a forum and my first thought was "you've GOT
to be kidding me!" - I couldn't believe that someone had pulled the
race card just because she'd had poor service at Burger King (which, I
don't know about the US, but is usually the case in the UK) and a
mistake with her order. Have you ever stopped obsessing with the
colour of your skin and wondered to yourself "Could their attitudes
have been because instead of politely telling them they had made a
mistake, I told them in a rude way that was totally uncalled for?"? Or
that they were laughing not because you'd complained that a "chicken
fry" was missing (whatever that is) but that you were also complaining
about its defect?

Try telling your story to someone who has genuinely been treated
differently because of their skin colour. Try telling it to someone
who has suffered abusive comments. Try telling it to someone who has
been almost killed just because they are not white. Chances are,
they'll slap you across the face.

I HATE it when people automatically shout "It's because I'm not
white!" whenever something bad happens to them rather than because of
actual racism. Seriously, grow up.

they were laughing at you and treating you that way because you
complained about a bent chicken fry, of all things, not because you're
Hispanic. you should really chill out and just enjoy the food. the
world's not out to get you...

Racism absolutely DISGUSTS me.

For that reason, I am really starting not to like you, because you
sound like you have a problem with anyone who is not of YOUR race.

You caused inconvenience to the employees AND to other Burger King
customers. I would have probably been ticked off too if I worked at
Burger King and had my time wasted by some nut trumpeting her racial
pride BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED A MISSHAPEN PIECE OF CHICKEN.

If I were feeling especially calm, I might have just laughed at you,
because you are clearly off your nut.

How did you know they were all Black? There might have been a Hispanic
or a Caucasian or an Asian-American in the mix too, also how could
they tell you ere hispanic. By your "accent" or your skin colour? I
don't believe, and correct me if I am wrong my fellow PFBers, that you
can tell a persons race through either of these. Also so what if they
wer Black, who cares? If you were treated unjustly,then who cares
about the offender's race?

I didn't need to read any farther then "hispanic". "Racist!" has
become nothing but a cry for attention, so far as I'm concerned.

They were laughing at you because you were being an idiot. Not because
of your skin color, but more, I'm betting, because of your haughty
attitude. News Flash - it's not your skin color that matter. Really
and truly. It's the way you treat the people around you. Most people
aren't going to treat you differently because you look Hispanic. They
are going to treat you differently if you act like a stupid twit.

Nothing annoys me more then people who cry "I WANT TO BE EQUAL!!!" and
in the same breath cry, "BUT YOU NEED TO TREAT ME BETTER BECAUSE I'M
DIFFERENT!" If you want equality, you would *act* like an equal - and
never make mention about being different. This includes running to
this union or that one.

Political correctness has gone entirely too far. You deserve
absolutely nothing from Burger King. If anything, I think you owe
*them* restitution for losing them business (in the form of all of the
people behind you!). Oh, and if you really want to be that anal about
your food? Make it at home next time. Nothing is perfect.

Hunnie, everyone blasted you!!! I can't stop laughing!!! News
BULLETIN....THEY WERE HONKING AT YOU!!
I would have honked too! If you want to count fries and
nuggets....pull your a$$ over and count!!!!
Sorry....this made you sound like a airhead feign'n for attention.
NEXT!!!

They were HONKING AT YOU TO MOVE YOUR DUMB ARSE OUT OF THE DRIVE-THRU
SO THEY COULD GET THEIR FOOD!


Free food for a year? HA! Believe it or not, there is no way they
are going to lose a few hundred dollars in potential profit and
product just to please ONE customer! Wake up and smell the coffee!

you have got to be kidding me, they weren't being racist, they were
making fun of you for being an idiot. do you honestly think they have
any control over the "bent" fry. its burger king not a five star
dining restaurant. feel lucky they even got your order correct. this
country is going down hill b/c of people like you screaming
discrimination and wanting to sue at the drop of a hat. grow up and
realize those are teenagers making minimum wage and put up with shit
like that all the time. do you think they were out to get you b/c you
were hispanic. i think you are a disgrace to the hispanic community,
american community and humanity in general. if you weren't complaining
over a bent chicken fry, you would have received respect. but those
"chicken fries" are sent to BK is a packaged by the distributor or
"chicken fry" company. you probably paid $5 for the whole meal. Take
into account mark up for overhead for the BK establishment, insurance,
and what not, you were complaining over something that only costs 20
cents to make. is to really worth is?? i hope that you aren't that
petty.. its not even real chicken to begin with. talking about going
to court? next time i hit up a fast food chain, i'll think of you and
make a huge deal over one of my fries being smaller than the rest and
then scream reverse discrimination b/c i'm white and the people behind
the counter aren't. sounds tacky when i put it that way huh??

i'd see a atorney & see if you can sue them!

THAT HAS TO BWE ONE OF THE UMBEST THONGS I HAVE VER HEARD IN MY
LIFE!!! NOT TO MENTION A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!! I mean I would
laugh at you too if you told me you wanted another fry because one was
BENT? I mean seriously, did you read what you were typing, and Im
sorry to say those people were honking at you!!! And that is not a
racist thing, that is just a stupid complain on your part.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? all this over a stupid "defect" chicken fry? get
a life. seriously. and free meals for a year?? GIVE ME A BREAK!

I bet she is looking for the CASH...And what better way to used the
RACE CARD B.S.? I wonder if she is the same lady that found a thumb @
Wendy's...."Chili" Let's find out how many lawsuit that she had been
involved in the last few years???? Hmmmm....Hey, She can make it a
civil case? I wonder if that cross her mind? Hmmmm.

In my opinion, Burger King is a place for teenagers. What teen you
came across without something up there butts?

Trash is Trash. Ain't got no color.

are you freaking kidding me????? i think everyone has been "treated
unfairly" at a fast food joint at some point in their lives!!! it fast
food! what do you expect? the people that work at these places are
usually teenagers who could care less about your bent chicken fries!!!
i would be furious if you i were behind you in the drive thru! i am
hispanic and caucasion! i have been treated poorly by other hispanics
at fast food drive thrus. i never thought it was because of my
color...maybe i'm darker or lighter than them. i just thought that it
was because they were incompetant and i was glad that i did not have
their job! in reading this story, i believe the "hispanic" woman acted
out of line!!!! what type of example is she setting for her
children??? i would say get a life!!!!

This is the one of the most pathetic letters written on this site, and
there are a lot to choose from. A years worth of free food? Get
real. It's not healthy anyway. Try packing healthy food before you
leave home, that way you can avoid potential racist remarks and maybe
live a little longer.

Oh for heaven sake lady get real. Children are dying all over the
world of starvation and you pitch a fit over a stupid fry. No wonder
the employees snickered at you.

You are obviously playing the "race card." You are teaching your kids
that as long as they cry "discrimination" they are entitled to condemn
others and recieve special consideration.

If you want to behave badly do it on your own. Don't hide behind your
ethnic origin and especially don't use your kids as excuses; it's
shameful.

GET A LIFE! This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! They
were laughing at you because you are an uptight, anal retentive freak.
Being a "proud Hispanic" has nothing to do with it.

Just another race baiting "latino pride" woman who thinks the USA owes
her everything

What utter nonsense this story is & what a shame her child will grow
up to be an ethnic pimp like his mother, one that feels he's entitled
to tax payer goodies because he's latino, just like his mommy taught
him

Go back to Mexico if you hate this country so much. Go fight your own
corrupt government instead of coming here & making demands of ours

Wow for such a busy woman you seem to have an awful lot of time to sit
around and bitch. Whether your complaining at the drive thru window
for an extra minute or wasting your time posting an angry letter about
one tiny little chicken fry, you cant be THAT busy. Sorry hun but busy
women dont haev time to worry about such trivial things.

I recently went to the local burger king and got a small curly fries.
I could not believe the lack of quality control issues! First of
all,they told me they ran out of curly fries. I don't think they
could have run out of curly fries, I think they refused to serve them
to me because a) I'm white and they weren't b) I have naturally curly
hair and I distinctly heard them making rude jokes about curly haired
people in the background. Secondly, 4 of the fries in this package
were broken into little pieces. Thirdly, there was more salt on some
of the fries than others. I contacted the CEO of Burger King and they
came right out and told me that, since I ate the fries, that they
weren't going to do anything about it.

I think Burger King should go out of business. BOYCOTT BURGER
KING!!

Did it ruin the whole dynamics of the chicken fry?
Get over yourself,Virginia, and leave La Raza alone, unless you want
to give thme a laugh.

I think he was honking at you - I can hardly hear myself when I worked
in BK's drive through over the sound of motors. How could he have
heard what the employees inside the building and window were saying to
you?

As well, who knows if they were even laughing at you? I was always
making my coworkers there laugh with my pantomiming and behaviour
(which was not unappropriate, but i was 'flamboyant' and posed
dramatically when getting food or hitting buttons - kind of like Jim
Carrey would).

Maybe it was Clark Kent behind you that he heard what they were saying
so well.

Crooked chicken fry? I woulda got a good laugh out of it and moved
on.

One time at BK I ordered a Whopper With Cheese, Only Lettuce, Only
Tomato, Only lIght Mayo.

And I got it - a Whopper with cheese, ONLY those three things (no
cheese).

I was a bit upset, but I didnt yell at them. I did get what I wanted!
I found it amusing after I got to work and calmed down. And I ate it,
and made a joke about it next time I went (I stil tease them about it
and they take it in good faith, and I check my food at the counter
now)

So seriously. Calm down. Its a crooked chicken. It wont' mutate you.

Talk about a trip to Fantasy Island! Now is it had been something
other than a chick fry as in not chicken object I would complain.

I think all decent Hispanic people would be deeply ashamed of you.
You need to get over yourself and realize that you are not a credit to
your race or anything else when you hold up a line so you can act like
a spoiled brat. Grow up. The world doesn't revolve around you.

I just want to thank you. I have to write a paper in school for a
controversial topic. I am choosing minorities that play the race card.
Thank you. Your letter is what gave me the idea.

To everyone on PLANETfeedback:
Stop posting you want idiotic, unrealistic crap like "I want free
meals for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I can not believe you are complaining about a stupid chicken fry. Lady
I had gas sprayed all over me and could have been worse if it had
gotten in my eyes and mouth. You act as if you are some spoil royal
princess.

You're the racist. You think that everyone who criticizes you is
doing so because of your skin color. Get over yourself. People laugh
at you because you're a weirdo who needs to take a full minute to
inspect each and every chicken fry in the bag. Go tell the racist
scum at La Raza that.

Get over the fact that oen of your chicken fries was deformed and stop
crying racism!

I don't know how you could have turned this experience into a racist
situation! The employees were not laughing at the Hispanic woman,
they were laughing at the crazy lady having a cow in the drive-through
over the appearance of one chicken fry! The man behind you was tired
of waiting and in a hurry for his lunch!
I have worked in fast food and sit-down restaurants, and guess what?
Things sometimes run out, or are not delivered, or are misshaped or
damaged! It's called life! Things happen, and you go on! Looking so
hard for prejudice only ensures that you'll find it EVERYWHERE! That
does not make you a proud Hispanic woman, only one with an enormous
chip on her shoulder. Let it go, and move on.

Tell me this is just a joke! Get a life lady!

I believe "not available", in reference to the Sprite, meant that
their Sprite was merely out at the moment, not that they didn't stock
it at all, as you imply in your letter.

Also, do you really have nothing better to do with your life than
measure up the chicken fries for exact length and proportion? And I
thought my OCD was bad! Listen, it's Burger King - they're fast food,
and I'm sorry if I offend any BK employees or loyal BK consumers here,
but they're not exactly a prime quality establishment, and the food
reflects that. You got 9 Chicken Fries - whether or not they all
looked the same is pointless, I'm assuming they all TASTED the same.

I'm betting you were treated rudely not because you were Hispanic, but
because you were being unreasonable and snotty with them.

And yes, if you need to wait for some part of your order to be
completed, fast food employees will often ask that you pull forward,
regardless of your race, especially when it's busy. I've been asked
to pull up numerous times, and I'm white. Sheesh!

oh whatever!!!

I'm sure the folks at BK are laughing as well!

Now that I think of it, I went to McDonalds not that long ago & got
the chicken mcnugget meal. One of the mcnugget's was smaller than the
rest & in the weirdest shape that I've ever seen one in! How dare
they!!!! They must have a problem with white tall males who are right
handed. I am on my way to the McDonalds page right now to demand free
meals for a lifetime! (the heck with a year)

Meet Virgina who thinks just because she counted the chicken fries and
one didn't look like the others, she is entitled to 1 year of free
meals from BK and an employee fired. YOU NEED A HOBBY!

Today I went do a Burger King and ordered the chicken fries. One was
seriously odd looking. When I got it I almost went into hysterical
laughter.

I wonder why they hate me. Maybe they hate white, mediun height,
black haired left handed cub fans?

The fact that you were whining over a "deformed" chicken fry (and
actually COUNTED them to be sure they were all present & accounted
for), the fact that you tried to turn it into a racial issue, the fact
that you threw a tantrum and refused to leave the drive thru or that
you concocted a bogus story this long and idiotic and ACTUALLY posted
it here.

Dear Virginia;

I am the president of the Short and Deformed Chicken Fry advocacy
group. The Chicken Fry that you demanded be replaced, because it was
short and deformed, is crying discrimination. We'll see you in court.

Sincerly,

Clucky Perdue-Sanders
Founder/President
S&DCFAG (Short and Deformed Chicken Fry Advocacy Group)

I'm laughing, myself.

Get over yourself. You honestly have nothing else to worry about?

Racism, my arse.

Stupidity is more like it.

Unbelievable. All that over a defective chicken fry, Wow!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS CRAP!!!???

YOU GIVE SOME OF MY HYSPANIC FRIENDS A BAD NAME!!!

This letter, like many here, is obviously meant to get everyone's
panties in a bunch. I'd say: mission accomplished. I laughed, not at
what the poster wrote, but at all the time and effort people spent at
obviously composing rebuttals worded as if this was a real letter.
Good grief.

This letter is a hoax evidently! You can't be serious! There are FAR
too many unjust things happening in this world for you to focus on
some food at BK! Get a life! Shame on you!

Hey, retarded fries need love too yanno.

BTW, thanks for setting Hispanics back like, 100 years. The people
inside were making fun of you because you didnt like the deformed
chicken fry. BOO FREAKIN HOO. You must lead a very boring life to piss
and moan about a piece of "chicken" in a box.

Oh, my, goodness. Where to begin, where to begin....

Well, first off, yes it is very possible that they were out of sprite.
That's happened to me before when I went to a fast food restaurant.

Secondly, eight regular ones & one short, deformed one???? What did
you do, measure them to make sure they were all the same size????

Third, yes I'm sure the employees were laughing at you. But it was
not because of the color of your skin. It was because of the way you
were acting. I would have laughed at you too, if I were there.

Fourth, I'm pretty sure (and I am sure everyone else here will agree
with me) that the people behind you were honking at YOU.

Last, but not least, don't hold your breath waiting for BK to meet the
demands you are making! I think you have a better chance of seeing
snow on the equator than BK giving you free meals for a year!

Don't forget to let LULAC in on the action. Once their done defending
illegal immigrants in Farmers Branch, TX they'll need something to do.
Sounds like this is right up their alley.

The paragraph about the sprite so made me think of Dora

Sa the price of your "Proud hispanic heritage" was a slightly bent
chicken fry? ROFL

And people wonder why there's still racial tensions in America.

It's because of race-card players like Virginia, who see the dark hand
of racism behind every rock and tree, and extort people and businesses
with claims of racism.

No refund, no free food, no diversity training, and the employee keeps
their job. There's no racism here, just a short-tempered moron
flipping out because one of her fries wasn't long enough.

It is letters like this that make PFB look bad. This should be
pulled, hard. I think that I lost a little faith in humanity with
this letter. I am not at all surprised that everyone jumped your butt
like they did, you looked like a self imposed idiot in line. It is
people like you that keep the race war going. I wish you could work
the BK drive through for a week, especially when they are swamped, and
someone pulls the race card on you for no good reason.

I am not going to say you are acting like a 2 year old, cause that
would insult 2 year olds. If you are such a "proud Hispanic woman",
please, set a better example for your child by not acting like such an
immature baby yourself.

Unfortunately, the honchos at BK will probably send you some coupons
for your upset. I do not think you even deserve a response for your
behavior, and over what...a chicken fry??!!

I'm pretty sure that the guy behind you was honking at you to move
your behind. I probably would have yelled something out the window,
along with blowing my horn. You should be highly embarrassed by the
way you acted and nothing more.

I hope you come back and read all of the comments your letter
generated, maybe then you will see that you acted like a fool.

I won't comment on this anymore, because I don't think that this
letter deserves to be #1 in the Top 20, or anywhere in the 20, for
that matter. You need to pull up and examine your priorities in life,
because hon, this world does not revolve around your azz, cause you
definitely showed yours.

Judging by this letter describing your behavior and attitude oh so
very well, there are several good reasons to laugh at you, and none of
them has a thing to do with the color of your skin or your ethnic
background.

is this for real...i'm of hispanic heritage and i feel embarassed that
you had the audacity to return one chicken fry because it was bent.
are you that entitled. please get a life. they were laughing because
of your stupidity i would have laughed right along with them, you were
the one that decided to think that it was because you are hispanic. i
can guarantee that the person that honked, honked at you, because you
were the one holding up the line. if a company is actually being
racist i wouldn't even bother with them, the fact that you are asking
for free meals for a year is enough to know that this letter is BULL.

Incredible - do you like Burger King that much that you would use the
race card just to get free meals?

You know what's really sad - people like you make it harder for people
who really are discriminated against - you are pathetic, and I'm sure
that the local groups that you are complaining too realize how
ridiculous you are. Who I really feel sorry for is your child - yes,
being hispanic she unfortunately will be discriminated against in her
lifetime - but because of you she won't recognize when it's real and
when it's just a chance to get freebies.

Shame on you for playing the race card without absolute proof.
Selfish, selfish lady.
Of course the others were honking at you! I would too if I saw someone
get their food, and continue to sit there.
Its a chicken fry!! (not even real food)

This letter made me laugh. There is just so much wrong here, I don't
know where to start.

First of all, why is it that when someone of a different ethnic
background runs into bad customer service, they feel it is because of
their race? It can't be anything other than a race issue?

Let's pick this apart piece by piece....

1st -

"The voice told me that Sprite was not available at that time. This
did not make sense because BK is a busy place and should have a
selection of soft drinks available at all times"

--You say right there in your comment - "BK is a busy place..." This
means that it's possible from time to time they will run out of
something...*gasp* I know, it's a weird concept, but soak it in for a
moment and move on...

2nd -

"however I noticed that there were eight normal size fries with one
fry that was shorter than the others. In addition it was bent and not
shaped like a fry at all."

--I have to agree with another poster - did you have a scale and a
tape measure with you? Shit happens. What if everyone went through the
drive-thru of fast food joints demanding that their food look exactly
as it does on the commercials? It would no longer be fast food!

3rd -

"I gave the bag back to the employee, who looked at me very
condescedingly. I feel that this is due to my skin color as I heard
snickering in the back by other employees, all of which were black, I
am Hispanic."

--Ah, the race card. Lovely little gem.

"...had taken only approximately thirty seconds to do this, and the
lady in the window told me to pull forward because other customers
were waiting. She said this very sharply in a manner that was
embarassing to me. Because of this, the man behind me honked, I do not
believe at me but more at the lady in the window's behavior."

--You said it yourself, this was the lunch rush - they were busy. They
did not have time to have someone sit in their drive-thru window with
asinine complaints. Usually, they have a designated waiting place for
people who have complaints. You just pull forward and wait there...not
in their busy drive-thru. Then, you make an assumption...you state
that because the woman embarassed you the man honked his horn. Then
you say it was because of the woman in the window's behavior. How in
the heck is the person BEHIND you going to know how the person in
front of you is behaving? They can only see the person talking to you,
not what they are saying to you or vice versa. It's more likely that
this guy started honking because it was taking too long. I am willing
to bet - he was honking at you.

4th -

"Refund of my money, free meals for one year at BK, firing of employee
or severe disciplinary action, maybe a diversity seminar/class"

--Ah, the unreasonable requests. Free meals for one year? Where do
some of you complainers get off?

At any rate, thanks for making me laugh!

You took 30 seconds to count 9 chicken fries? What did you do, take
out a scale and a tape measure and make sure each one was exactly the
same size and weight?

Yes, places run out of things and yes, maybe sometimes one chicken fry
may not look like all the others but making a stink over it? Get a
life! Are all your french fries the exact size? No!

Laughing at you because you're Hispanic? No, they were laughing at
you for making a stink over the size of a chicken fry.

And how delusional are you to think the other cars were not honking at
you? You're lucky it wasn't me behind you. I would have pushed you
out of the way with my truck!

Refund? No, you ate the food. Free meals for a year? More
delusional thinking! I won't even comment on contacting LaRaza or
some other group. I'm sure they have much more important issues than
chicken fries.

So you shot out a kid and have it in the car with you. Big deal. No
one cares about it or your status as "Mommy." So. Friggin'. What.

Keep your whiny stuff on topic.

That being said, you made this fuss over a "defective" piece of
chicken?

You seem to be a child yourself, are you sure you're old enough to
take care of the one you produced? The one sitting in the car with
you that was oh-so relevent to this complaint?

Deal with it and quit whining. If anyone made this a racial issue,
it's you. You're an embarrassment.

Why don't you wait until you can afford some food worth fighting
about? It's fried crap. Take your order and move along.

Mira mi'ja!! I'm hispanic too! I am Puerto Rican. Probably the only
puerto rican commentator here at Planetfeedback. You, my friend, are
full of CA CA!!

You may tell the others that they don't understand. But, I, DO!

You know why they were laughing?? Cause you like your chicken
fingers.. LONG ..HARD.. and STAIGHT!! You made YOURSELF the laughing
stock at that place! Who in their right mind complains about ONE tiny
chicken finger because it is "defective!" I don't care if you skin
color was "hispanic" black, red, polka dotted, green or like Michael
Jackson's beige!! sheesh!! Ay, bendito!

La Raza?? As if, they don't have better things to take care of than to
go into litigation over a chicken finger.

About you being "proud".. you should not be! I am definitely not proud
of you being in MY ethnic group!!! You are the one that most folks
will try to say I am like!!! You know, sterotypes! Ha!! Nevah!!

This is a very petty and ridiculous complaint.

You got 9 fries, as ordered. One was an odd shape, but I am sure it
was probably the same approximate weight as the others. As my mother
always said, "It all goes down the same way."
I am sure there was no way that the person who put your order together
could possibly know your race, and the deformed fry was not given to
you on purpose, but was just an oddity in a large bag of fries.

I realize you used the drive-thru to save time, and had a small child
in the car, but if it was that important to you, then you should have
pulled to the side as a common courtesy to the others in line, and
then taken your child with you into the restaurant to straighten it
out.

You are responsible for this whole mess getting so out of hand,
because you insisted on making such a huge deal out of a misshapen
chicken fry.

I am sorry that you probably face a lot of discrimination on a daily
basis. I can't begin to know what that must be like, but to cry racism
over such petty things cheapens the whole issue when there is a
legitimate claim.

Okay I am going to respond to this one: As an assistant manager at a
burger king in canada, I can safely say this letter is so full of
flaws and here they are:

First, burger king does run out of product (including sprite), it
happens the truck might have been coming that afternoon, or even the
next day! As a manager that actually does the ordering, we arent
perfect, sometimes we miscount stuff and realize that stuff wasnt
ordered, so either we have to get it from another store (if its within
the same company) or we wait until the next truck...but there are
other soft drinks as you put it available..i.e. coke, rootbeer, diet
coke, orange..etc etc!!

Second, Not all chicken fries are straight, nor do they advertise that
they are..some might be crooked, you said yours was small and bent..
well if its bent, of course its going to look smaller.. I can safely
say this is the first complaint of this kind I have ever
heard..seriously!

third, although be it the employees were laughing, they shouldnt have
been laughing so you can see them, but i would honestly guarantee that
they werent laughing at you racialy..but because you were actually
complaining about a crooked chicken fry and during the lunch line in
drive thru! now don't you think that the other people behind you are
also in a hurry? If you are in a hurry .. then there are going to be
others as well! if i saw someone get their bag and was still sitting
in drive thru.. i would honk too if i was caught in the middle of
drive thru, and i wouldnt be honking at the "lady in the window", I
would be honking at the car at the window.. which in this case, WAS
YOU!

fourth, Pulling the race card out was just plain rude, assuming people
are laughing at you because of the color of your skin, you my young
friend are paranoid, and maybe you have every right to be, I don't
know what has happened in your life, but seriously, this wasn't a
racial case, and I would actually think this twice before complaining
about this any more, you are going to make yourself look like more of
an idiot than you really are!

fifth, If in the future you want to check your order for like..oh
forever, then walk inside and order as you are not drive thru
material, people that hold up windows at a drive thru for a long time,
well the employees are certainly going to remember you, it would be
pretty hard not to since you made yourself look like a complete .....
well you know over a chicken fry!!

In conclusion, nothing in life is ever perfect, not the person who
does the ordering for that burger king, the chicken fries are not
going to be perfectly straight, and life in general isnt going to be
perfect either.. and if you want to ruin someone else's life and for
what? over a chicken fry, go right ahead, but what comes around, will
surely go around, and whenever you get a job, someone will do that
race card against you!

"Because of this, the man behind me honked, I do not believe at me but
more at the lady in the window's behavior."

Not honking at you? Of course he was honking at you. How could he
know what the woman at the window was saying to you?

Number 1 in the Top 20... mission accomplished, Virgnia.

I swear, people will say anything for attention.

What's more embarrassing to the child?

A) Having your mother hold up a drive thru line like a little baby
throwing a temper tantrum?

B) Sending back in a 9th out of 9 limp, short chicken fry??

C) Not understanding that places can run out of something? (Hint :
Possibly an order was mis-calculated, demand was higher than normal,
or the truck did not deliver it on time!)

D) Mother writing to BK about racism over all of this and wanting free
food for a year.

Trick question...

The answer is actually E) All of the above (And More)

What the HELL is your problem, lady? If anyone acted inappropriately,
it was Y-O-U! You acted like a total Entitlement Bitch over a
freakin' chicken finger, then you pull out the race card when you
thought they were laughing at you. Maybe they were 'cause you were
acting like such a snotty witch that it was amusing.

Of course the manager's gonna ask you to pull forward, you were
HOLDING UP TRAFFIC, which costs them business! Oh, wait. I forgot.
You're so selfish and "me me me" oriented you wouldn't care about
that.

People like you, who play the racism card to get what they want,
absolutely disgust me. I have no words for what scum you come across
as in this letter. If I were you, I wouldn't expect anything back
from BK.

get over yourself and get a green card. I cant believe you whined
about one lousy fry.

I just thought of this. Does Dora E have an alter ego?

You had me at "the voice told me that Sprite was not available at that
time" and I was laughing (not at you, dear Virginia, but in your
general vicinity) at the "mutant" defect fry that was shorter and
bent.

It reminded me of a comedy skit where space aliens were mutilating
cattle lips and the cows were saying "ooo" "ooo" instead of "Mooo
Mooo". Yeah thats why I was laughing.

Now all joking aside, how is a year's worth of BK food going to
further the advance of Hispanics everywhere? Bigoted people might say
"Those Hispanics...Everything is a "Raza" issue... always looking for
free grub always holding up the drive in line..." I have a feeling
you're embarrassed now, and I don't blame you.

Maybe try to cool off a bit and write a letter without the race issue?
I doubt they'll take this seriously at "La Raza" or Hispanic advocacy
groups either.

And people wonder why us commentators have such a short fuse around
here.

If anyone spent any time actually READING these letters they would
understand more than a fair share of letters or just so silly!

To the OP...you were NOT discriminated against because you are Latino.
You werent disciminated against AT ALL. You requested another chicken
fry which I can understand. I wouldnt have done it myself but I can
understand if someone else did it. But the problem came when you didnt
get served the way you thought you should...at a fast food drive
thru.

You werent inside so you have no idea who or what they were talking
about. You ASSUMED and in turn you have made yourself look
like...well, you know I am sure.

The people who honked WERE honking AT YOU because you were being rude,
selfish and immature by sitting in the drive thru after getting your
food plus getting it replaced. You were making everyone else late to
where they were going.

You dont deserve anything. The only think you deserve is to GIVE an
apology to all those people who were in line behind you.

SHE
NANNY
GINS

Or, as my dear departed Grandma used to say

EL
TORO
POO-POO

They were not laughing at you because you are hispanic, they were
laughing because you made a fool of yourself. You acted like a fool
in front of your child. It's a good thing that your child is not old
enough to be embarassed by his mommy's bahaviour. Not only were the
employees annoyed with your actions, so were the people behind you.
What's wrong with pulling over and checking your order later.

Also you want free meals for a year from Burger King. Do you really
think that these employees were racist, or are you just playing the
race card to get one year of free meals.

You sound as bad as Dora with her "Kissing at Chilis" fiasco.

I doubt that you have a valid complaint. The employee who took and
filled your order has no idea what race you are when they take your
order over the speaker.
I buy frozen chicken strips often, and the srtips in the bag are of
all different shapes and sizes. That is how they come from the
supplier. I doubt that an over worked employee during the lunch rush
purposefully selected a defective chicken fry just for you.

You are nuts, lady. Read this letter to yourself, and realise what a
jackass you sound like. You had a short misshaped chicken fry, get
over it!!! Things happen, and this was indeed not something to get all
upset over. I'm sure the employees were not snickering because of
your race, they were probably snickering at what a psycho you were
being!!! And to hold up the line over your "defective" chicken
fry...just nuts.

Ok, I always try to be friendly when responding to letters but I just
can't seem to muster it up with this one.

I'm pretty sure the person behind you was honking at you and you're
pretty lucky that's all he/she did...he/she could have opened up a
monstrous can of "whip yo hiney" on you for that one!

Sheeshie Peesy...what next?

A year's worth of free food...yeah, sure yer right.

You know the last time I got a short, bent, defective chicken fry, I
didn't want to discriminate against it, so I ate it. It tasted just
as good as the straight, perfect ones.

Oh, Virginia.

It does make sense that there might not be Sprite available all the
time. Maybe nobody's been able to get new syrup loaded into the
machine; maybe the machine itself was broken; maybe a ridiculously
atypical number of people had showed up wanting Sprites earlier in the
day. It happens. And given that a whole lot of this letter leads me
to want to say "Oh, Virginia, it happens. Deal with it", I'd think
you'd prefer to leave something this petty out -- unless you believe
that BK customers who are not Hispanic were getting Sprites with no
problem?

Four minutes in line, especially during the lunch rush, is not a big
deal. Thirty seconds to count nine chicken fries, on the other hand,
does seem like a bit much, especially since they shouldn't have been
loading other stuff on top of the chicken fries in your bag when the
only thing they did was to trade out chicken.

People who work in fast food restaurants need to vent sometimes. A
lot of people show up and treat them badly, or make ridiculous
demands, or accuse them of various kinds of unacceptable behavior when
they haven't done anything wrong. They shouldn't have been laughing
at you where you could see them and if one of them made a racial
comment he or she shouldn't have done that either. But the BK
employees, all of *whom* (not which -- you'd say "all of which" when
talking about the sort of thing you'd call "it" rather than "he" or
"she" and this is a particularly unfortunate moment to make that
particular error) come from a different racial group than you do, were
almost certainly responding to the difference in which side of the
drive-through window you and they were on.

And if you found it embarassing to be told to pull forward, I bet the
woman working at the window found it embarassing to be accused of a
particularly vile act just because you are particular about how your
chicken fries look.

I'm glad you're a proud Hispanic woman and I'm glad that you're
modeling that for your children. I hope that by the time they grow up
we will live in a world where children do not really need to be
educated on how to handle oneself in a society that sometimes treats
members of certain groups badly, but right now it's an important
lesson for them to learn. But being a proud Hispanic woman and
modeling that pride for your child does not require you to denigrate
what I hope is a proud African-American woman, let alone to demand
that she be fired from her job for doing little to nothing wrong. It
really doesn't.

If you were able to identify a specific worker who made a racial
comment and report to the manager who spoke to you exactly what that
worker said to you, then I hope that manager would take immediate
action (although you would still not be entitled to decide what action
that would be).

As it is, though, I really hope that you are able to get past this,
boycott this restaurant or all of Burger King if you think that's
important, and get back to raising your kids to be the fine people I
know you want them to be.

free meals for a year??? LMAO

I think after writing this letter YOU need to serve community service
at BK. You should be forced to cook chiken fries all day and stand
there and pick out the defective ones, then you should be forced to
stand in the drive thru window and listen to other customers complain
about stupid stuff. Geta freakin hobby. I would be embarrased to
even bring the "defective" fry to anyones attention. I mean come on!

to call shennanigans?

a) I would like to think that no one could possibly be this dumb.

b) The writer pulled out just about all the stops on this one... race
card, gimmee grab, "how can a restaurant RUN OUT OF the item that I
wanted", etc etc etc... all the things that us PFers are renowned for
jumping on

Looks to me like the work of a troll hoping to stir things up.

So you only assumed they were making racial remarks and laughing at
you because of the color of your skin?
You think the man behind you was honking not because he was waiting
behind you, in a lunch rush, probably trying to get back to work,
while you inspected your bag for 30 seconds, but because of the
employee? If you are in a fast food line and are waiting for a person
to move for 30 seconds while they check your bag, you would honk to.
I am going to do the same thing you did to the Burger King employees-
I am going to assume that while you wrote this you were thinking how
much you hate black people that work at Burger King. I have the same
facts as you-we're both just guessing. How does it feel to be painted
as a racist on an assumption?

"Refund of my money, free meals for one year at BK, firing of employee
or severe disciplinary action, maybe a diversity seminar/class"

They were laughing at the defective fry, lady, and the fact that you
were saying it was defective.

Free meals for a year? When they serve defective fries?

"This did not make sense because BK is a busy place and should have a
selection of soft drinks available at all times, "
BK is a busy place. Places run out of stuff. Get over it.

"I did wait approximately four minutes to be served"
It is FAST food, not INSTANT food.

"I looked through the bag to make sure that all the fries were there;
however I noticed that there were eight normal size fries with one fry
that was shorter than the others. In addition it was bent and not
shaped like a fry at all. I requested an additional fry to replace
this defective one."
You gripe about the wait time and then hold up the drive-thru line to
count your fries? Then, when one was not good enough for you, you
demand a replacement? IT IS A FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENT, NOT FINE
DINING! Park your SUV, hang up the cell phone, and walk your happy
butt inside to order if you are that picky. Yeesh.

"I feel that this is due to my skin color "
"I could have sworn that I heard one make a derogatory comment about
the color of my skin."

Paranoid much?
You call them racist, but have no proof.

They were laughing at you because you were acting like a 2 year old
because you had a crooked chicken fry, not because of your skin
color.

"the lady in the window told me to pull forward because other
customers were waiting"

The world does not revolve around you and your chicken fries.

"Because of this, the man behind me honked, I do not believe at me but
more at the lady in the window's behavior"

Nah, he was honking at YOU to move your behind out of the way. He
probably agreed with the lady in the window's behavior.

"I refused to pull forward, I had not been treated fairly or with
respect that as a customer I deserve, in front of my child I had been
deeply embarrassed"

You should be embarrassed that your child was acting your mature than
you.

"I am contacting the local La Raza and Hispanic consumer advocacy
groups to inform them of the injustice done at this Burger King."

So that they can find this letter as funny a we do?

"Refund of my money,"

You ate your "perfect" fries, no refund for you.

"free meals for one year at BK"

Ma'am, you might want to avoid all restaurants until you learn how to
treat the people that are handling your food. That's all I am saying.

"firing of employee or severe disciplinary action"

How 'bout a raise for putting up with people such as yourself
instead?

"maybe a diversity seminar/class"

Sounds like you are the one that needs to learn how to get along with
others.

On your mark.

Get set.

GO!!!

This could make number one in the top twenty in record time.

See ya there!!

p.s. I'm pretty sure the guy was honking at YOU.

My goodness, who is the rude, inconsiderate, racist person in this
story? YOU ARE, VIRGINIA. You gave the "Busy Mother" title a BAD
REP! I cannot believe you are making a big stink about a dang small
chicken fry. Were you just having a bad day or what? So you think
that just because everyone was black that it was a racist
situation...I will tell you that it was discrimination for sure. But
it was discrimination against IGNORNANT people who have nothing better
to do but cause a gridlock in a drive-thru line and try create a civil
war chicken fry sizes. I do believe you need Jesus or just plain
counseling into what is REALLY going on in your life!!!!

You're kidding... PLEASE tell me you are not so ignorant as to truly
believe that this was RACIAL!!!!

Man, you have some issues, chickie. And the people weren't honking at
the employees, they were honking at the a--hole who was BLOCKING THE
LINE. You should have gotten you butt out of the car and gone in. I
would have. There is no way I would try to resolve an issue at the
drive thru window. You were rude and inconsiderate of the people
behind you who didn't do a damn thing to you.
And the manager was right, you did NEED to move.
And where is the racial angle? Where did anyone call you anything?
Or imply your race had anything to do with the issue?
You're the WORST kind of person... Crying race when all it is is
you're too damn lazy to take care of a problem properly.

You know, Virginia, they were probably laughing and snickering at you
because you asked for a replacement of a chicken fry. ONE. Who does
that? I mean, don't you realize that sometimes those things happen,
and yes, that is STILL considered a 'fry'?

I don't believe for one minute they were discriminating against you
because you are Hispanic. I think they looked at you and were laughing
because you were making a fool out of yourself by demanding a
replacement chicken fry and holding up the busy drive thru line.

You say you're a busy mother. Okay, so all the other people behind you
in line aren't busy? While I'm all for checking your order at the
window, I HIGHLY doubt you took 'approximately 30 seconds' to do so.
Why would you be getting honked at by other cars and the manager come
to tell you to move if it was such a short period of time?

You don't deserve anything from BK, and your request for a refund and
free meals for a year will just get this letter thrown in the trash.
And I say good riddance!

Oh lord...
