Pretty much quit the burger joints when they had to start paying $15/hr in some places and had to raise prices to cover it. I’m not willing to pay more here in rural MO because of workers in blue cities.
And the left acts as if homosexuals are some persecuted minority group.
In today’s world, somehow it has become cool to be gay, cool to be “LGBT”. It’s cool to be “transsexual”. To listen to some of these people, you just haven’t lived, until you have had your sex change operation.
We have a winner DING.
And like I said, they get way more recognition and representation than their actual numbers justify.
I'm old school. I don't want to know anything about what they do under the covers or out in the open between each other. Makes me want to vomit.
That’s good, because the last time I visited a Burger King was in 1976 or thereabouts.
I think the VAST majority of Americans would have boundless respect for a company that simply says, “We really don’t get involved in social issues. We make cars.” (or burgers, or cereal, or soft drinks, or whatever).
One “What A Burger”, please.
The local service may be poor, but depending on the
cook/flipper, the burger is eatable.
Burger King is an intimation of Jack in the Box.
The royal court’s jester.
Burger King isn’t even American any more. It is owned - along with Popeyes - by Restaurant Brands International, based in Canada and majority owned by Brazilian investors
That’s what the 3 foot concrete wall is for heh.
During battleschool on the grenade range, we got the brief ahead of time, and one sergeant said throw the grenade, not the pin. We laughed, but he said people do weird things when they’re holding explosives.
Fast forward about 45 mins, I was still waiting for my turn, we were watching this numpty clause ready to go, and we all watched as he pulled the pin, handed the grenade to the instructor, and threw the pin. The instructor drops it at his feet and grabbed the lapels of the numpty and dove over the short wall. While it was funny, it could of gone very bad. Those grenades have a 4.5 second fuse, not a lot of time to stand and think.
I was a fan of their croissant breakfast sandwich. But haven’t done it for a while. McDonalds dropped their bacon egg and cheese bagel at the start of the COVID panic when they supposedly couldn’t get bagels. It’s not ‘back’ and I don’t think it’s coming back.
Not a fan of biscuit sandwiches (too dry) and not a fan of sausage sandwiches. And don’t even start with that sweet maple flavored sandwich! So I end up getting a special order Bacon Egg and Cheese McMuffin. I don’t understand why that’s not a regular menu item.
Great story. I think pretty much every iteration of boot camp or basic training has one of those.
I did throw my grenade but it hit a tree and bounced back toward us. We were already in the prone position so I didn’t get thrown.
Did you have anyone have a dud?
Had one of those too, and the guy who threw it got to go plant the c4 next to it haha.
In this case he had pulled the pin, but forgot the safety clip on. Risky business heh. Some poor sap in his vietnam era flak jacket for protection off to go lay the c4 down, we likely could of done it a better way, but I’m sure he was being taught a lesson.
I MAY have eaten at a BK by accident decades ago. But I have no memory of it.
Very good!
Somehow I doubt that.
Fantastic graphic
I wanted so badly to throw a grenade in basic training but someone “froze” when he pulled the pin they called the rest of the day again. They walked the guy past all of us still in line and he was crying like a baby. We never did see him again.
Now they have stopped having to throw a grenade because guys today cannot throw.
Think about it—when was the last time you came across kids playing catch in the middle of the street? We were all there for hours years ago and had to be careful of some wise guy who didn’t slow down.
Thankfully there are two classic drive-in burger joints in my small town and neighboring town ran by two brothers. One dates from the 1950’s era. They have the car hops who come out and take your order and then have it freshly made. The burgers are always hot and the fries are classic crinkle fries and always hot. Yeah it’s $6 for the combo, but it is good and I don’t get a lecture about politics.
Okay, you do not want my business, then I will not be stoppoing in anymore!
