27 years in a burger King is not commendable enough to donate money to some guy just because he wasn't happy with the reward on offer.
The reward on offer was pretty rubbish for length of service and should have been thought of more. But Burger King isn't set up for people to spend years of their life there in the same manner so I doubt they have much in the way of long service awards.

Is there something special about the number 27 which means it should trigger a long service award? Or are you suggesting he should get an award annually as his service has increased each year?
I can understand getting some recognition at multiples of 5 or 10 years or something.

I really get the impression there are some really bitter, sad and envious people in this thread and thats kind of depressing. At the end of the day his kids set it up for him with no real expectations and it snowballed into a huge thing and they are now making the most of peoples good wishes and generosity, as would most people. No-one here has been forced or asked to donate money to him so if you dont agree the simple answer is to shut up, say nothing and dont be a miserable, bitter little sad act. To those that say well "why dont i set up a go fund me for X person for X reason"... go do it. Nothing to stop you doing so.
Some of the posts here stink of jealousy and I get the impression some of the people posting wouldn't donate to a colleagues kid if they needed specialist cancer treatment in another country as the reasoning would be "not my kid and not my fault the kid got cancer so why should i give them money".
For the record I'm all about personal fiscal responsability but i've not practised that myself and paid the price in the past, however i have no qualms about good will or charity.
There's enough pain, misery, greed, jealousy (some of these seem to be posting in this thread it seems) and destitution in the world with more to come with the cost of living crisis, so a little good will and a heart warming story is always welcome in my books.
Anyway im done with this thread since you cant reason with some people.

Jealousy is not a pretty thing to witness. In fact it’s actually embarrassing.

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.

Your post is a sad indictment of the greed and selfishness of a lot of society. It also highlights the goodness of some people.

Look at how they treat a army veteran over here
Veteran furious Burger King staff told him he 'was not allowed in'
Richard Mearns, 40, had been visiting Burger King in Waterloo Station, London, when he claims a member of staff told he was 'not allowed in' because of his PTSD support dog Ziggy.

LOL wat?
Some guy goes in with his "assistance dog" an employee tells him dogs aren't allowed, he asks for a manager and then is allowed to have the dog in the restaurant... but he films it and complains to the press anyway because he didn't like their attitude etc..

You mean look at how one outlet with misinformed staff treated a person with an assist dog. Lets be honest most people on this forum would laugh at and dissmiss someone needing an assist dog/animal unless it suited their aganda.Look at how they treat a army veteran over here

At one time I did my day job, and I drove ride share 9pm until 4am. One ride I had the joy of having two guys who recently graduated uni. One of the guys was talking about his dad and how he only ever worked for X amount of money, and how little he thought of his Dad as he himself was now earning 250k a year in the banking sector. His friend was saying how the other kids Dad had worked hard all his life and got him through uni.
To sit their listening to this ungrateful guy mock and belittle his father was quite something. He was lucky yo have a friend that tried to teach him better. The obnoxious guy minds me of some of you mocking a guy for having the audacity to work hard.
I would hope all you mockers are millionaires by now because otherwise you are "mugs" for not doing better.

No, multiples of 5 but I don't know why 27 would prompt any reaction. I just meant that the reward on offer should have been considered more. Of course 5 or 10 year intervals are arbitrary anyway so why not 27 doesn't make much difference as you still have to come in the next day.

Hun? Awwww, look at you trying to be clever. But yea I’m perfectly fine. Certainly not getting all jealous about some random chap getting a load of free $$’ unlike yourself and few others posting in here.
And when did I ever say I was jealous

Yeah, always desperate to lick the boots of big business. This is the mentality of people these days.

Complete and utter nonsense.
