I like to think i'm a hard working woman. I go to work, do my best, get paid, save most of it, and repeat. Like many hard workers, I also believe in a little treat every once in a while because what's the point of work with no play? So, it's the last day of my summer job. 10 long weeks of summer camp. 10 long weeks of bee stings, scraped knees, crying children, and particular parents. I've done my best through all of it and I deserve a treat. What better way to celebrate my valiant effort than a fun lunch? Burger King, here I come for my impossible whopper! I gave up red meat a while ago so you can imagine my excitement when they came out with the impossible whopper almost exactly 6 years ago. Ever since that day, it's my go to for a tasty special lunch or dinner.
I get up to the window after ordering, decide to donate my change to public education, lord knows these kids need all the help they can get. They told me to pull around since they were making my burger fresh. My excitement is building at this time. imagining the beautifully cooked patty, the toasty bun, and the crisp fresh vegetables that brings the sandwich to the next level. I get my food after a few minutes, and I don't mind the wait. I'm driving back to work, munching on a few fries here and there and just thinking about my delicious meal I'm about to have.
Imagine my dismay when I open the wrapper and see sauce spilling out of the sandwich, pooling into puddles on my legs before i can completely unwrap the whopper. that was my first red flag. As I open the sandwich to scrape some of the excessive sauce to the side, my shock deepens when there are absolutely no vegetables on this sandwich. Now don't get me wrong, by no means do I arrive to a fast food restaurant and expect health food, but it's a burger, people!! I take my first bite and am tasting what seems to be a mustard, ketchup and mayo sandwich with a side of patty and cheese. Maybe they ran out of pickles, onion, tomato, AND lettuce and thought "the only way to make this better is to give double the sauce, there's no way she'll notice!" Well, she noticed. And she was disappointed. I ate it of course because I was hungry and $14.50 is too much to spend on an uneaten meal. But it was definitely not the pleasant experience I had been craving all week.
On another note, I have been to this location and had to wait roughly 3 minutes for my food (a perfectly acceptable wait time for a fast food place) and was given a large fry instead of a medium to "make up for the wait" so this place is definitely not all bad, hence the extra star. But damn, that was a disgraceful meal :( read more
