    Anybody have problems with the drive through in burger king? I spent 5 mins at the speaker to be told drive up to the next window. 10 minutes later, 3 members of staff walk by the window, including the same guy twice who makes eye contact but ignores me. 20 minutes all in I drive up to the next window and ask to speak to the manager. I make no apologies for it but I was very vocal in my complaints before driving away.

    There was 1 other car in the queue in front of me so it's not as if they were flat out.

    McDonalds had me served and the lot in less than 3 minutes and I was behind 3 other cars.

    Tldr; service in new BK is piss poor.

    I had a very similar experience, I cant understand it tbh, they have a giant like McD's across the road yet they are pi55ing around with what appears to be one staff member on their Drive through.

    I reckon mcd's have nothing to worry about if that's the way bk are treating customers. It was funny, as I was driving out, I let a van out ahead of me. Same van pulled into mcd's drive in front of me then. I can only imagine we were one of many people who did same!

    I havent used BK's "drive thru" but I found their their service inside to be excellent!

    Traffic managment at McDonalds front door is downright dangerous with no proper provision for pedestrians.

    It seems to be where they meet up for their laps of the town. It's a scientific fact that the size of your exhaust pipe is inversely proportional to the size of your.... Ahem "meat and 2 veg" so to speak. Some of those civics have massive exhausts, God love them.

    I always thought that they only had big exhausts to compensate for lacking in other 'areas.'

    So you went for someone with a small exhaust, and it didn't work out like planned? :)

    The thing that makes me laugh about 'boy racer' cars is that they make them sound(exhausts)and look(lowering)like they are broken to supposedly look cool.
    Audi A4s scraping the ground make me laugh everytime. :)

    There seems to be a good amount of them around town. You can hear them hammering around at all hours most nights. Pests.

    Is that the Subway in the Burger King foodcourt or yet another one?

    So I decided to see what all the fuss was about and went up to Burger Kingdom last night. I never eat fast food because I believe when you eat fast food you make baby Jesus cry. Anyway I went upto the drive through and what do you know,its as bad as everybody said. I mean God forbid I should actually get up off me lazy arse and walk in but no I had to sit and wait 10 mins for the staff to bring me my food.
    What I do like about the place is you can park up in the carpark and just as you start to feel bad about yourself for eating this muck you can just look up at the back of that housing estate and think, my life could be worse,I could actually be living in that ****hole
