nets, hats, gloves, aprons etc. however, there are health/safety violation, and youd be surprised but 99% of the time it is the managers who do it. None of the managers wear hair nets or hats, and none of them wear gloves. their excuse is that they dont actually make the burgers, but do paper work, but in a rush hour if you walk into the back you can be assured that a manager will be helping the crew out by making the burgers...all the time with no hat, no hair net, and no gloves...

Remove the statement "All
Australian outlets are now under the Hungry Jack's name." This may have been the case for a long time, but sadly, Burger King branded outlets have started appearing in recent years. There are several in Melbourne's CBD alone. (Unsigned comment, undated, moved into relevant

circumstances according to the official documentation governing procedures, but who is going to tell them otherwise likewise with them wearing hairnets. With regard to handling food, when i worked there food was handled by the preparer with raw hand but there was a huge emphasis on minimal contact.

Just following on from what freaky has said having worked in Burger King before. I wish to confirm the scenario with regards to the manger never wearing hairnets etc, This is intact the case. Probably a little incidental but for the most part
Mangers should in fact be on the floor except in unusual

ok, ill probably get shot for saying this... I work at Hungry Jacks (Aussie version of Burger King) in Perth, WA. i have to say that the most safety conscious people are actually the teenagers like me who work there. all the people my age who do the same job as me (burger maker basically) wear hair

Burger King's in MI used this strategy so consistently that we all assumed that it was a national strategy too. The fact that our article doesn't cover that makes me think it may not have been. A google search under terms I could think of didn't find anything in the first several pages. Anyone have

Most shops in
Australia were Hungry Jacks until recently. How recently? Wouldn't know. I haven't seen any that have changed unless they've been renovated which isn't many in my area, except for new shops. I think some were actually changed back to HJ. Can anyone else confirm this? In my area (Gold

Most sanitation codes only require hair to be restrained and do not say how. BK employees' hair is covered by the baseball cap that it has its employees wear, longer hair will be tied back to add extra protection. Local health regs may require more stringent mean. Go to any restaurant and you will

to check, I didn't expect to see exactly what is said in the report including, but not limited to, employees handling ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands. I don't know if this is normal here (since there were other customers and none of them complained), but having lived in Saudi Arabia for a

They do that here in Iowa too. (and
Nebraska) Their is a Burger King right next to every McDonalds in my town except for one, and their is a KFC next to it and a Burger King in the Mall which is right next to it technically too. So yeah, they try, I just think sometimes they dont succeed.

From my own personal experience living in
Warrington, England, I have seen BK build right next to McDonalds... ironically that BK isn't there anymore, replaced by a Starbucks! Also in Manchester, KFC and McDonalds are in very close proximity. - AlexFili

The naming of franchises in
Australia has been mentioned in the article. Does anyone else think it would be worthwhile mentioning details as to what areas were labeled with which name, and when they changed? That is, if we can source the info? --

I'm in
Melbourne and I'm fairly certain all the Burger Kings that suddenly appeared have since been reverted to Hungary Jack's. I remember hearing somewhere that they'd bought them out, also the adds for Burger King have completely disappeared.

In
Manchester,New Hampshire,Taco Bell,McDonalds, Wendys and Burger King are all on the same street. Its kinda weird. But I mean, they must all be placed there for compitition,because there's no other reason to be next to your biggest

Yes, It is making fun of how creepy the ads are. You see a man in his bedroom and then this guy in a mask shows up from nowhere unannounced and uninvited. In short the "Burger king" is more creepy than "Jason" form the horror movies.
318:
KFC, Everything except hardees bisuits and their fried chicken they used to have, Wendy's, and Taco Bell are all terrible. Sadly they're also all really close to McDonalds, Popeye's, and Burger Kings, the good restaraunts.
237:
The Burger King where I live tried that and closed earlier this year (or maybe it was last year, I forgot). McDonald's would have a monopoly here if it weren't for Hardee's, which is in a different part of town.

I can easily obtain a video and attach it to the email, as their practices are still the same. However, it is very interesting to read: "Communication with Burger King
Corporation is not accepted via e-mail."

There are several sites on the internet, including blogs, that discuss how creepy the Burger king mascot is. It's most likely a ploy by Burger King's marketing group to generate "chatter" about the icon.
259:
That seriously isn't a well-known strategy??? Every McDonald's in town where I live (also
Michigan) has a Burger King across the street and a Taco Bell or a Wendy's within five buildings.

I sense the slogan that appears in the center of this list "We make your kids fat" is erroneous and should be removed. Is there any bizarre proof that this slogan was ever really used???

Could someone add any information on burger king's mascot. That big plastic king dude, and explain why I keep seeing photos of him on the internet that say "Where is your god now?"

Have significantly rewritten this section of the article adding appropriate legal case citations and other relevant material. Will continue to watch and improve this section.

Most burger kings in Australia were bought by hungry jacks about 2 years ago. The burger kings only lasted about 2 years. In Sydney all of them are hungry jacks now....
