On the weekend of March 18th, and 19th, 2012, the Burger King on Trenton Avenue in Findlay, Ohio advertised on their sign that they had free fries those two days.
I went there on Saturday March 18th, around 10:35 am. At which time they were serving the lunch menu.
I went thru the drive thru and ordered a couple items and then pulled around to the side drive thru window. It was then that I noticed the free frie thing posted on the outside sign by the street. I asked the girl at the window, Kristy, what the sign meant about free fries and she said every customer would get a free value size frie that weekend.
I paid for my items that I ordered and got the food and left.
When I got home to my suprise I did not have the free fries that they were giving away. I guess the girl was that stupid and did not realize what she said when she said "Every customer" would receive a value size frie.
The food there is so overpriced for a hamburger, etc that it is cheaper just to go and buy some stuff at the store and make your own hamburgers, etc. $4.09 for a whopper with cheese that is about half the size they were years ago. And I am not sure if they really use real beef on their sandwiches or not.
If they are going to advertise something on their sign then they should make sure they provide that free item for each and every customer that day or weekend.

Shame on Burger King
AUTHOR: bentinohio - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 08, 2012
Shame on Burger King in Findlay, Ohio. I guess the Corporate Office agrees with my complaint since they have not responded. And no employees have responded either. I have not seen any other free offers since I filed my complaint so I am guessing they too agree with my complaint on their business.
If they would pay better wages maybe the employees would really care about how they treat the customers there The couple dollars a hour that they pay their employees only says that Burger King does not care about their employees. If they did they would pay wages the people could really live off of.
I hope no one eats at the Burger King on Trenton Avenue in Findlay Ohio The low grade beef and chicken they use in their products too only says that they do not care about their customers.
Lets raise prices on the food there and lower the quality of the product that way Burger King can make a yet even bigger profit.

You b**ch about how expensive it is, yet you eat there. There isn't someone FORCING you to spend $4.00 on a cheeseburger. If you don't like spending money at Burger King, don't go. That's what makes America great.
As for your initial complaint, did you seriously post a "Rip-off report" over not getting a free fry valued at $1? Hmm, maybe next time BK forgets my marinara sauce I should file one myself.

Burger King Findlay, Real beef across the street.
AUTHOR: bentinohio - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 10, 2012
The real beef is across the street at Wendy's where they use real beef and fresh beef unlike the frozen pink slim beef that those other burger places use. The other comments left by people other than me only shows the childish people they have there working at Burger King in Findlay. IF they had only lived up to what there sign said without the customers having to beg for food then I would of never posted this complaint. Everything I have said is the truth on how I was treated. They need to hire real people at Burger King and not kids still in school who could care less about their job or the place they work for or how they treat the customers.

Yo, Ronny, Coast, Ken, Mocha! Have any y'all gotten your Burger King paychecks yet? I didn't and I'm thinking about posting a ripoff report about it. How dare they treat their employees who defend them here, so badly?
There once was a Burger King
Whose free fries the girl didn't bring
Resulting in ire
And Ripoff Reports dire
And who is or isn't a liar
And customer turned crier
His fry deprived tummy ting-a-ling!

"The remarks left by the other person only show the real side of the employees there and how they act like little children in not really thinking what they are saying.
I guarantee every single word I have posted on the Burger King is the truth from my experience at the one on Trenton Avenue in Findlay."
Look, who is talking? A person who throws a tantrum because he does not get a freebie. Who said that you lie? People here just pointed out why you should NOT be upset and move on. Yes, there are sarcasms, but you prove nothing to dispute them but rather avoid to give reasons or throw a tantrum like a child does. They also asked you more questions to clarify your point in order to ignore noises in your original report. Have you answered these questions? No. So who actually is a child in this case? Ask yourself if you can at least use your brain to think as a grown person.
Also, telling the truth does NOT mean telling the WHOLE truth. Often times, a person omit certain fact in order to make himself/herself look better in the situation. In your case, you attempt to omit certain fact that you do not want others to know because the certain fact will either invalidate your report or show how foolish you are. Got it?

Do you want fries with that?

"it is cheaper just to go and buy some stuff at the store and make your own hamburgers"
When did it become more expensive to eat at a restaurant versus buying groceries and preparing the food ourselves? ALWAYS! Apparently you are unaware of the concept of profit.
"I figured the girl was smart enough that she knew I would like the free value size fries since I did Indeed ask about it posted on the sign."
So, if you were to ask, 'How much is that doggie in the window?', the store employee should put the pup in a basket and ring it up. Do you want fries with that?

1. Why don't you think they really use beef in their burgers?
Care to share this knowledge with the rest of us.
2. Why would you buy them if you think they're using something (anything) else in the burgers?
3. How do you know that the burgers are half the size they were years ago?
You could illustrate this with an example of the same burger (years ago) versus today.
Are you subject to exaggerating a bit?

Of course! We all MUST work at the burger king on trenton. I live in springfield missouri, that would be a rough drive. Especialy since I don't even know where finley is, nor what state its even in.
I do know that you are an idiot that couldn't say these simple words: "May I have an order of the free fries, please?"
You asked about them, you never ordered them. They aren't mind readers.

This make me laugh when an author said something like "These people work at blah blah." This is obvious that the author is self-righteousness and foolish. He/she does not want to admit his/her own mistake in the report when others point it out because he/she thinks it will invalidate the report.
1) You still haven't answered whether or not you did ask for the free fries.
2) If you said Burger King is overprice, I would say ALL fast food of this type are overprice.
3) Also, if you said it is overprice, WHY did you keep going back?
4) If you are not sure whether or not they use real beef, why did you buy it in the first place?
5) Are you working for Mac, so you are complaining about Burger King here? :D

And so you fall back to the apparently rather common "You must work there!". No, I doubt any of the posters works there, they just see an appalling lack of common sense on your part. You didn't ask for them, you didn't get them. All you had to do is say "Can I add that to my order, then?", but that was too difficult, it seems.

I think the more likely result is that people will decide to disregard your report because it is obvious that you are an idiot.

if she is not smart enough to figure something as simple as this out then she should not be working there but maybe working at the mcdonalds next door.
After she told me they were giving every customer free value size fries to Every Customer then I thought then I would get them to since indeed I was a paying customer at that time and I indeed asked what the Free Fries thing was all about.

2. "And I am not sure if they really use real beef on their sandwiches or not."
And what do you base this on? Do the new whoppers taste different than those from "years ago?"
Did you see them scraping up road kill to use in the whoppers?
Did some distant relatives friend let your wife know what they were up to?
Get a life.
You did go back and then, receipt in hand, request your free fries, didn't you?
