9mg I'm so jealous

Yeah but if the prerequisite is working 27years in burger King then I'll pass..

I wonder was it a whip around from the other staffers in the place, rather than anything from actual BK, and 27 years, its an odd figure.

Pretty sure it was a whip round, I think that's where this story has went slightly askew, people are thinking the "package" was from Burger King and are donating in outrage at how cheap they were. Working out well for the recipient though.

When you say pretty sure have you actually got a link?

I seen one random quote saying it was employees in the store that did it, cant recall where. But another article states it was from management.

That was my guess earlier in the thread, it seemed pretty likely this was an ad-hoc thing rather than something official:

That's quite sad, I presume there wasn't necessarily a corporate policy re: this? Maybe it was a local manager or shift leader who took it upon himself to put together a little present after noticing it was another work anniversary for this guy? Does anyone know? (In which case it's still a nice gesture).

Between Sept 1988 to around November 2016 I didn't have one day off work until I had to have an hearing operation.
Give me the money.

[SixTwoSix]

Why not?

Look at the depth and content of his regular posts, I swear he's just spamming his way to MM access or a low effort troll.

You gotta sell your sob story to the gullible first.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Could have at least given him one of those paper crowns and the mask.

 

[Lysander]

Yep, just checked.

2.9% + 0.30¢ are taken from each donation

I knew exactly who you were talking about despite being one of the few members on ignore. Absolute fruitcake that one.

He managed to put 4 of he's children through university flipping burgers? Not sure what to say but that is impressive given how even middle class parents struggle to fund university.

That's not what she said, read it again:

he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized. This got all four of his daughters through high school and college with full healthcare coverage.

in other news water is wet

No it's not. Everything it touches is wet.
