this apparently happened with a dairy queen in the town where my parents grew up in, but they didn't even change the branding. they just went rogue and it took a long ass time for people to notice

I mean it's better for society since Burger King won't be getting so much moeny for a name.

"What are you getting for lunch?"

"Burger."

All I know is that I am getting some mixed feelings from the menu items with names like "Big Fux XXL"

Not to be confused with the Burger King that is not a Burger King but isn't fake.

Wait until you find out it used to be a paper magazine

It is probably like the KFC in a neighboring town. They owner was so cheap and let it get run into the ground. When he stopped paying the chain they were going to come remove his signs. So he Painted Chicken over all of them and started buying the same or similar products from the the local food distributor he got a lot of KFC's products from. Of course it was his shitty management that lead to that and things didn't improve after it was just 'Chicken'. It stayed there three or four more years though.

I was thinking about trying Jack-in-the-Box for the first time so I downloaded the app, and my local joint wasn’t listed. Did some digging and they were apparently delisted because their google reviews were truly awful. Exclusively one stars for the last year. Stuff like “person in the drive through window tried to climb out of the window like the girl from The Ring and fight me” and “the chicken was still straight up frozen, like directly from the freezer not a little cold in the middle”. I thought they always had a long line because it was good, but it turns out people get stuck in that line for an hour and can’t get out.

That's too bad, because Jack-in-the-box is one of the better chains IMO.

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

That probably shows they're at least still trying.

How many fucking people did their food have to kill to lose the Burger King franchise?

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

Sorry, that's an trade secret.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 21 hours ago

Probably gave too many people the correct order. That goes against the BK franchise code if the one near me is anything to go by.

At first I thought this was part of the No Kings protest.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 day ago (20 children)

How bad does a BK need to be to get kicked out of the worst by far fast food chain?

[–] FryHyde@lemmy.zip 11 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I see someone has never visited a Del Taco before.

What could they have done worse than being a burger king

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 54 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

very real chance the corporation raised the prices of the franchise ingerdients without raising the prices of the franchise menu items and this location's owner had a relationship with the local ingredient distributor, ran the numbers, and figured they could sell enough burgers in the local community to make more money than they would keeping the random walk-ins who go into a burger king because they know what they're getting.

This doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad shop. Maybe being a franchise wasn't helping their business, so they dropped it.

It might be better than BK, that wouldn't be hard to do. BK is the worst of the major franchise burger shops, by far. I'll eat at Arby's before I eat at a BK.
