complaint on new steak burgers

Posted Thu May 1, 2008 9:40 am, by MIchelle K. written to Burger King

Write a Letter to this Company  |  Rate this Company


My boss and I tried the new steakhouse burgers, loaded, and both began very ill after eating them. Called the number on the receipt and there was no answer-this is written the day after, and we still have upset stomachs.

Respond and refund money

burger king can barely cook the regular burgers right, much less a
thick burger. also you have teens whao are not trained or care about
food safety...

I had diarreha for a few days. I know it was the burger, because
lunch and dinner were my only two meals that day...half burger for
lunch and half for dinner....then 3 days of agony. did'nt write a
letter just because I know better than to eat from there now or eat
that burger.

Three days of agony? by Donno Fri May 9, 2008 @ 5:32 PM

Sigh, I'm kind of tired of hearing over and over again YOU HAVE NO
PROOF! NO SOUP FOR YOU!

That's not for you to decide, it's for Burger King to decide. A good
company will listen to it's customer and try to resolve their issue.

I think they deserve a refund for the simple fact that these burgers
are DISGUSTING! I got one for lunch at work, took one bite and tossed
it. I bet if I had ate the whole thing I would have become very ill
too!

Did you go to an urgent care center or emergency room to see if you
have food poisoning?
I doubt BB will do anything if there is no proof you are ill from
their food.

According to her it made them sick. by T. C. Thu May 1, 2008 @ 10:53 PM


Yes, according to her by LadyMac Fri May 2, 2008 @ 11:13 AM

Yes but bet she didn't even take into account the customer/employee by T. C. Fri May 2, 2008 @ 10:15 PM

I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago. although the concept
sounds yummy, I was not impressed. the meat itself tasted off to me,
ruining the flavors of the A! sauce and crunchy onions.

I do agree with the others, though. You would have done well to at
least include the date and location.

Have you been to a doctor?
Do you have any solid evidence that the food made you ill?
It is quite possible that you both contracted a stomach virus or
something similar that had absolutely nothing to do with anything you
ate.
Most folks eat three meals a day plus snacks, so how easy is it to
think that any sudden illness might be food-related?
Leaves the door wide open for coincidence.

You might want to make sure you have a case before you start throwing
out accusations of food poisoning and start making demands.

This needs to be reported directly to the restaurant from which you purchased them. by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:07 AM


Like the book says... by RedheadwGlasses Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:15 AM

R.E.M. also sang about that. Wait, that was Everybody Hurts. As you were. by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:22 AM

That's Not Necessarily True by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:38 AM

If the location is included in her letter, you could be right. If it's not, she by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 12:04 PM


The company can get the location info by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Thu May 1, 2008 @ 12:18 PM
by Steve-OH Posted Thu May 1, 2008 @ 12:31 PM

every large chain gets on any given day. How high on the list of
priorities do you think a letter with no details will be, and how much
"investigating" do you really think they will do?

Reply

by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Posted Thu May 1, 2008 @ 12:50 PM

they'll investigate each and every one especially if the customer
alleges food poisoning and doubly especially if we've made it
incredibly easy by providing the user's contact info along with the
letter.

If they dont care about their customers then they wont. Simple as
that.

My response is primarily for the benefit of future readers so they
understand (which they probably do anyway but a reminder never hurts)
that the company actually has additional options above and beyond your
claim that the only thing they can do with it is view it as a scam.

Why not remind them to put some supporting details in the letter? by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 1:29 PM


We trust by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Thu May 1, 2008 @ 1:55 PM


At the store I worked at... by Just Brenda Thu May 1, 2008 @ 6:06 PM

And my point was, without details who can they send it down to? And what are they fixing, anyway? by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 6:18 PM


Valuable information by Just Brenda Thu May 1, 2008 @ 6:39 PM

Do you honestly think that any chain that gets a zillion letters like this is going to do that legwork? by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 6:49 PM


SHE DID by Just Brenda Thu May 1, 2008 @ 6:57 PM

At the risk of sounding like someone else, read the thread. by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 7:05 PM


As should you by LadyMac Thu May 1, 2008 @ 7:46 PM

Ladymac, I STARTED the thread, and nowhere did I mention food poisoning! by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 8:09 PM


I dont understand this comment at all by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Thu May 1, 2008 @ 8:26 PM

Really, Greg? She is arguing the same basic point that you did - that a company that cares about it's customers takes every vague complaint seriously. by Steve-OH Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:22 PM


Uh, ok by PlanetFeedback's Mr. Helpful Fri May 2, 2008 @ 12:10 AM


Greg by Just Brenda Fri May 2, 2008 @ 8:00 AM

You guys are adorable. by Steve-OH Fri May 2, 2008 @ 10:08 AM


Thanks!!! n/t by Just Brenda Sat May 3, 2008 @ 12:46 PM

It's nice to see that the heads of PFB aren't above snarky comments. Too bad you didn't read the body of my message. by Steve-OH Fri May 2, 2008 @ 9:21 AM

Steve I agree with you. by T. C. Thu May 1, 2008 @ 11:02 PM
