I think if you order an adult meal for your child that qualifies for a kids meal, you should be able to request a kid toy without having to pay extra for the toy. I have three children and sometimes one or two of them will get kids meals and the others get adult meals. Well of course being kids they want a prize. When I have asked they say well you have to pay for it. Well I just paid for an adult meal for a child. This has happened many times at Burger King.

While I like Burger King in general, I have a complaint about the store located in Bohemia, Long Island (NY), right off Sunrise Highway. First, it was cold in the store. It was cold outside and I expected to be able to eat inside in warmth. It was probably warm for the food preparers but not for customers. As a matter of fact, I waited a few minutes to be waited on as the manager was on the phone but was looking at me and finally asked a worker to come to the register. But I am not going to complain about that.

Secondly, I asked for a cup of their "turbo" coffee which they had advertised. The cashier did not know what I was talking about. He said he would ask the manager, but she was on the phone. But he was intrigued by the concept of stronger-than-usual coffee and asked me if it was like the coffee you get at a gas station.

The worst part of this is that Burger King, unlike many other franchised restaurants, does not give you the ability to submit a complaint or feedback on-line. You have to either write a letter to the corporate office (who has time) or contact the store directly (OK, but defeating the purpose of making corporate aware of franchisees that do not properly run the business).

6/24/10 at Burger King US 17 in Mt. Pleaseant SC I ordered sweet tea and found it was sweetened with an artificial sweetener. This is really stupid - irritating a long term customer just to save a little money.

I went to the drive-thru window of store #15862 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and did my usual order of a triple whopper large meal. After I got my meal, I found that they gave me a single instead. That's when I went inside and had them take the sandwich back and make it a triple. I went back in my car and drove off to work. When I got to work, I found out that the staff didn't fix the problem and kept it as a single. I was not too happy. As far as i'm concerned, the employees of that store do not know the meaning of paying attention. This was the lousiest service I have ever gotten. I tell you what, this place just a lost a customer.
