Hopefully not everyone thinks like you because it would be a shame if
some little kid could not get his wheel chair or some girl could not
get her leg braces bacause you did not get a free burger and refused
to donate in future because you are mad about it.

If you think Tina S is being greedy and using charity for the wrong
reason look at Phillis.

This letter reminds me of someone that wrote a letter a long time ago
I think around Christmas 2006, where this person donated to "Toys for
Tots" because she thought she would get a income tax return. When she
found out that she could not file the thing to get an income tax
return she wanted Toys for Tots to give her all the toys back. This
person is too old to play with the toys, but with her attitude you
would think she is not. :D Anyways I will post the link when I find
it.

You did recieve a coupon for a free double cheeseburger...BOGO. Like
the others said...you are getting these for 50 cents/burger...and
while I can understand your point its not worth complaining about.

The fact that you had to be enticed to give a dollar for donations
with the coupon says much about you. You will blow off Jerrys Kids
because of this. Hope you never go through the hell they do daily.

It would be good if she does sort of. by Billydude1995 Wed March 12, 2008 @ 5:57 PM

Hmmm. Double cheeseburgers I think are only a dollar. Or they were a
year ago. Seems like a better deal to BOGO than to just get one free.
Then it's only .50 cents a piece right? Or am I off my rocker?
Lighten up. It's only a dollar and it's for charity. If it were
20.00 then I'd complain. But a dollar isn't much for a charitable
cause.

When I make my donation, they let my kids put their names on a
shamrock on the wall at the grocery store. Good enough for me, it's
charity, I don't expect anything in return. My kids like the shamrocks
because they come back to the store and find their names and are
reminded that they gave to someone else.

You should be gald they gave you anything at all. They don't have to.

It seems the king wasn't scary enough to spook you from pulling up in
the first place, so why bring it up in your complaint at all?

"What a load of crap" is right. "Giving" under the condition of
"What's in it for ME" is the wrong reason to be charitable in the
first place.

Burger King isn't ruining anything for Jerry's Kids, they're giving
their customers (people who buy their products in the first place) an
added incentive to give. They clearly don't have to offer anything.

I read this complaint earlier today and am still shaking my head. You
are still getting a free cheeseburger, you'll just have to buy one,
and you probably will buy another. Although I do agree with you on
one thing, the King is creepy looking. Are you one of the woman in
the van that is trying to flatten the King??? I'm sure you won't get
any support from anyone you tell this sorry tale to, including on this
site.

I imagine that no one will take your side on this.

Sure, some may argue that they should have been more honest that the
coupon would be BOGO.

But when your letter ends with you going on a mission to destroy the
MD Foundation, I'm pretty much thinking that you've lost any support
that you'd otherwise receive.

I can see it now. Some kid is told she can't get leg braces because
Tina's mad at Burger King. I'm sure, Tina, that she's totally
understand and will on your side.

Is the only way you'll donate to charity is if you get something in
return? Tsk! Tsk!

It was a stinking dollar for charity and you're screaming bloody
murder because you didn't get a free double cheeseburger? Karma, my
dear, karma . . . .

by RedheadwGlasses Posted Mon March 10, 2008 @ 1:13 PM

Oh for crying out loud. So don't use the coupon and never go there
again. Did it really kill you to add a dollar for handicapped kids?
You obviously already GO there and eat there, so you'll probably be
buying a double cheeseburger anyway.

And trust me: If you complain about this to "anyone [you] see," karma
will be smacking you upside the head, along with anybody who gets as
annoyed with you as you likely will make them.
