Burger King in Gastonia NC - WARNING

Wednesday, 9/17/08
----------------------

We have a Burger King on Union Road in Gastonia NC. It used to be good - until today. Avoid this location at all possible costs!! Jim and I went there to get food for dinner; when we received it, I noticed that my Whopper Junior was cold and mentioned it to the manager. What does she do, does she make me a new one? Heck no!! She NUKED the friggin' thing!! Okay, fine - go with it to avoid issues.

We get home, start pulling the food out. Becca's chicken sandwich seemed hot; she opened it and it was overcooked. Ewwww, strike one. Jim's steakhouse burger thing was also overcooked, and the edges felt like it had come out of the refrigerator. It also smelled nasty (but that could have been the steakhouse gunk they put on it). Strike two. I then proceeded to check my onion rings and the kids' chicken fingers; all were dry, overcooked and ICE COLD. Strike three.

I was ready to go back right then; but Jim happened to notice something that REALLY topped it off for me. He handed me Ashley's apple fries and told me to look at the date. SEPTEMBER FOURTH. I can see a day or two out of code, but almost two WEEKS??!! HELL NO!! You do NOT mess with my kids' health by trying to pawn that expired crap on us!! We went back there; I stormed in, dropped the bags on the counter and basically went pregnant-hormone-postal on her arse. Feeling tears come on, I threw up my hands after my 30 second tirade and stormed outside, where I let out a good AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH. On my way out, I noticed a younger couple sitting there eating, and they kept looking at their food, chewing slower and slower, as if they weren't sure if they should finish it. LMAO I just looked at them and said, "Dont' come back, TRUST me." I felt bad for causing a scene; but at the same time, like I said, you do NOT mess around with me, when it comes to my kids' health all bets are off.

Do yourselves a favor; do NOT eat at this location, for your own health and safety. I will be contacting the Health Department tomorrow about this incident. I no longer have the receipt; but I'm sure they will still be happy to take my report. Yuck.
