I think this guy is clever and I admire him. Especially the part where he bit into a pie, looking right out her. Burger King can’t really do anything about this waste of flesh of a mother, but he made one small action against it. I say Yeah!

Burger King has pie ?

They also have apple pie, but my guess is the kid wanted the above.

I don’t think you could hit a higher level of perfection.

He could have had a short lunch time. Real sit down restaurants have their fair share of bratty kids. I think (probably wrong) it was an Olive Garden that banned the little monsters last year. Just saw this one banning noisy kids - http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/07/31/ca-restaurant-effectively-bans-kids-with-sign/

I’m on a very frugal budget but I would have brought every pie in the joint and told the mother and her potty mouthed kid exactly why I was doing it. We would have to scratch bread and milk off the grocery list for the next two months, but it would soooo be worth it.

Hey, who doesn’t like the guy who brings pie to his coworkers?

I’ve walked out of restaurants a few times because of unruly children. Some parents seem to believe that allowing their offspring to run and scream around tables is acceptable, and these were not “family” restaurants. Not to mention that some of them arrived after 8PM.

He screwed up. He should have offered to sell her one of the pies for the cost of all 23. Then he and his coworkers could have enjoyed chowing down on FREE PIES! Talk about SWEET REVENGE!

Why get mad at a kid, when the parents are to blame?

Read the story, then saw THIS article on the side.

“Surge in meat allergies in people bitten by ticks.”
A bug can turn you into a vegetarian, or at least make you swear off red meat. Doctors across the U.S. are seeing a surge of sudden meat allergies in people bitten by a certain kind of tick.

This bizarre problem was only discovered a few years ago but is growing as the ticks spread from the Southwest and the East to more parts of the United States. In some cases, eating a burger or a steak has landed people in the hospital with severe allergic reactions.

Few patients seem aware of the risk, and even doctors are slow to recognize it. As one allergist who has seen 200 cases on New York’s Long Island said, “Why would someone think they’re allergic to meat when they’ve been eating it their whole life?”

The culprit is the Lone Star tick, named for Texas, a state famous for meaty barbecues. The tick is now found throughout the South and the eastern half of the United States.

Researchers think some other types of ticks also might cause meat allergies; cases have been reported in Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Japan and Korea.

Here’s how it happens: The bugs harbor a sugar that humans don’t have, called alpha-gal. The sugar is also is found in red meat — beef, pork, venison, rabbit — and even some dairy products. It’s usually fine when people encounter it through food that gets digested.

But a tick bite triggers an immune system response, and in that high-alert state, the body perceives the sugar the tick transmitted to the victim’s bloodstream and skin as a foreign substance, and makes antibodies to it. That sets the stage for an allergic reaction the next time the person eats red meat and encounters the sugar.

It happened last summer to Louise Danzig, a 63-year-old retired nurse.

Hours after eating a burger, “I woke up with very swollen hands that were on fire with itching,” she said. As she headed downstairs, “I could feel my lips and tongue were getting swollen,” and by the time she made a phone call for help, “I was losing my ability to speak and my airway was closing.”

She had had recent tick bites, and a blood test confirmed the meat allergy.
