(Jenny & Missi, you thought I was kidding didn't you?)
Yesterday my pseudo-daughter (my pseudo-grandchildren had to come from somewhere) and her good friend, who has now also become my friend, came for a visit. We had already decided to go to good old "Have it Your Way" Burger King because we had two little guys with us. Did you ever try to have a conversation with two bored small boys sitting at your lunch table? If so, we don't even need to explain why we chose Burger King and their play area as a place to have lunch.
As I have mentioned before, MS is a surprise each and every day. Yesterday was a difficult leg movement day and I'm not sure whether the fact that my legs were lazy made me annoyed or if I just started out annoyed and the legs were just a bonus. Regardless of where it started, yesterday probably wasn't the day for Burger King to mess with me.
How long has "Have it Your Way" been their slogan, catch phrase, jingle etc? Well I decided to have it my way yesterday and they wouldn't let me. They have a new Mushroom Swiss Burger on their menu. I am not a huge beef fan but will manage to eat a BK cheeseburger occasionally since the quantity of actual meat is very limited. I usually order a kid's meal if I eat at any of the fast food places. I figure, minimal amount of damage if I eat small. All I wanted to do was order a kid's meal with a cheeseburger and have them switch the American cheese to Swiss cheese and throw on some mushrooms. This should have been no problem for the "have it your way" Kings. WRONG!!! They refused to do it! Arby's will add Swiss cheese to a kids junior roast beef and never flinch. I almost always ask for something slightly different when ordering at one of these places and it never trips anyone up. BK couldn't let me order what I wanted to have because the COMPUTER wouldn't let them. It should have been a no-brainer. The woman behind the counter said if they did it there would be an additional charge for the cheese and mushrooms. Do I look like I care if I have to pay an extra dollar? As it turned out, it would have been Missi's extra dollar but I really don't think she would have cared either. Instead of letting me have it my way, which I really don't understand at all since it is all they FREAKIN' say in any commercial they do, they just made me mad and lost a customer. I'd rather have a McDonald's apple pie anyway!
Here's the phone number for our Burger King. Call them and tell them what a joke their slogan is since a person can't even get Swiss cheese and mushrooms added to a regular hamburger!
