WOOD VILLAGE, Ore. - A man from Portland, Oregon says he was trapped in a Burger King bathroom for more than an hour and was promised free burger meals for life in settlement over the ordeal, but now he says BK isn’t holding up its end of the bargain, so he’s suing the fast food restaurant.
Curtis Brooner said he used the restroom at a Portland Burger King on Dec. 15. But when he tried to get out of the room, the door would not open, KOIN reported.
Brooner said he had the receipt from his meal and called the number listed on the paper for help. Employees were not able to open the door from the outside. They slid a fly swatter telling Brooner to pry the lock with that, but it didn’t work and he says he sliced his hand using the tool, KATU reported.
Brooner said that he could hear employees laughing at him while he waited to get out of the restroom, KATU reported.
A locksmith was eventually called, and Brooner was able to leave the restroom.
In the lawsuit filed this week, Brooner said that workers gave him a bandage and some ointment for his cut and offered the man a lifetime supply of Burger King meals at no cost in settlement for his predicament.

I’d say he got a fair deal. He probably could have opened the door with a credit card or something similar.
Have it your way...
Cut himself with a flyswatter? Perpetually offended by a stuck foor?
Get a life dude.
I would never trade my life for burgers
Now chicken nuggets with zesty sauce...hmmm
I have had FAR worse experiences in fast-food bathrooms than THAT one.
Just when you think people couldn’t get more stupid......they do.....sigh
If I were him I’d take the burgers, be grateful, and shut the hell up.
Man ... you rule with that software. :-)
They should have at least given him a free meal.

So burgers for life was sort of a handshake deal with the employees I guess.
The store workers offered him free burgers for life? I am skeptical they would have that authority.
If I were him I’d take the burgers, be grateful, and shut the hell up.
Read the article. He’d be happy to take the burgers, but the company reneged on the deal and won’t give him anything.
It would be like Charlie Bucket suing Willy Wonka for revoking his lifetime supply of chocolate prize.
“If I were him I’d take the burgers, be grateful, and shut the hell up.”
Sounds like he accepted the deal but BK reneged on him. So, he’s suing for the money it would cost for free meals until he turns 72.
