    Default Burger King employee who never missed work in 27 years and got a backpack, movie tic

    Burger King employee who never missed work in 27 years and got a backpack, movie ticket, and Starbucks cup as a gift

    I haven't eaten at a Burger King since they stop paying taxes when they bought Tim Hortons and move there corporate headquarters to Canada to avoid paying U.S. taxes?!!

    This latest act by burger king is just discussing!

    Burger King employee Kevin Ford never missed a day’s work in the 27 years he spent as a cook at the McCarren Las Vegas Airport location of the chain restaurant. So when he arrived at work on the 27th anniversary of his employment and joked around about the time he had spent working at the company, management scrambled to find a present to thank him for his hard work.

    The present: a string backpack, a movie ticket, a lanyard, a coffee cup, and some candy.

    Ford posted a video of him opening the presents and thanking his coworkers on TikTok, and it quickly garnered thousands of views and likes. While some viewers praised his positivity and humility, others viewers online expressed shock and dismay at the small reward he received after his many years of loyalty.

    https://www.tiktok.com/@thekeep777/v...85422143098154

    On the back of the video's success, his daughter Sernya Ford set up a GoFundMe page looking to raise just an additional $200 for him to visit his grandchildren.

    “The man in that video is my father. He has worked at his job for 27 years and yes, he has never missed a day of work,” Ford’s daughter wrote on the GoFundMe page.

    She noted that Ford had originally begun working the job as a single father and has continued to work there due to the health insurance package provided by the company.

    "My dad continues to work here because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age, and leaving would cost him his retirement," she wrote, adding "In no way are we asking for money or is he expecting any money but if anyone feels like blessing him he would love to visit his grandchildren."

    1) so what?
    Unless he was promised more - what difference does it make?
    He (probably) flipped burgers.
    Not performed micro surgery.
    It's not like he wasn't INCREDIBLY, easy to replace.

    What was he expecting?
    A golden spatula?

    2) why would Burger King move it's HQ to Canada to 'avoid paying US taxes'?
    When the Canadian corporate tax (26.5%) is higher than the U.S. one (21%)?

    Yeah, what a load of crap that is.
    Apparently, the guy already has $350K.
    What moron gives to that?

    And how the heck do we know he is not making the whole thing up to scam people?
    It has happened before.

    So?

    That is exactly why free enterprise works.
    The greed of those who run it allow for maximum profits for the shareholders.
    While selling products/services at the lowest prices.

    So this guy flipped tasty but lousy-for-you burgers for 27 years.
    A job that soon machines will be doing.
    And he didn't get some golden spatula?
    He is a low IQ blob who does a nothing job and is replaceable in a millisecond.

    What's next?
    You want to nominate him for a Nobel Prize?

    Sounds like this loser is scamming people to get them to donate to him.

    wrong.

    business needs have always been kept within a framework of other considerations.

    Being black certainly tends to help.

    White guilt is a powerful thing.
