Aside from the sausage egg Crossainwich, when was the last time you had a positive experience at BK?

It sounds like the now deceased owner was not a good businessman.

“Customers keep crawling in through our drive up windows and shooting up the place! Others come in the lobby and tear up the place when their burger is not fixed correctly!”

BK’s iconic burger has a whopper of a price these days.

When on road trips I now carry my own [grocery store] food.

“Millennials have moved away from fast food to food trucks.”

In Northern California, the lower incomers are going to food trucks.

The better off financially are having home delivery of their food.

In 1972, I worked at Krystal. The Krystal burgers were 15 cents.

The Whopper was 59 cents!................

I’ll admit to an overly sensitive nose, but the smell that must come from the flaming, just grosses me out. Once I went to the nearest to try it and I got nauseous.

Other people must like it, though.

Most likely it had a lot to do with location. When they wee built the location was acceptable and now it’s most likely a bad area. The Left is destroying our country, town by town, city by city.

Seems to be the case. As seniors, we don't trust food safety at food trucks. Our preference is mom and pop small restaurants. Fast food is not appealing, and we stopped going to them 20 years ago after our kids moved on as adults. Our adult kids also prefer going to small restaurants and try to steer their kids away from fast foods.

They were okayish for a while, but the pride whopper, and later restaurant hours and staffing after COVID ensured I’m not going to give them any more of my time or money.

A few years back the BK near my workplace perma closed due to their inner city stores dragging the others down with them, I think there were 5-6 total.

Ate there every lunch for years. Sure was nice while it lasted.
