Burger King outs baby for 'no shoes' rule
No shirt, no shoes, no service, baby!
According to KSHB-TV, the manager of a Burger King near St. Louis, Missouri, told Jennifer Frederich she would have to get her food to go because her daughter, Kaylin, wasn’t wearing any shoes. 
"She doesn’t own shoes. She’s only six months old,” said Frederich after the manager explained that feet without shoes were against the health code, and, no, socks would not suffice.
“She doesn’t walk, so she’s not touching the ground," Frederich continued, "There is no reason for her to have shoes on.”
While the manager's apparent commitment to the health code was admirable, the misplaced emphasis suggests it was not a product of a culture of food safety.
"In fact," the Associated Press later reported, "shoelessness is not a health code violation in St. Louis County."
A statement by Burger King, cited by the AP, says the owner of that particular franchise "apologizes for this guest's experience...The franchisee is retraining his restaurant team on the proper use of the 'no shoes' policy."
The franchise owner also contacted Frederich to apologize in person.
No baby shoes, no service at Burger King
Sorenne turns 8-months-old tomorrow. Being in Florida, Amy bought her some flip-flops. But that’s about it for shoes.
However, a Burger King manager took the no shirt, no shoes, no service policy to some extremes and threatened to call police on a mom because her 6-month-old baby wasn’t wearing shoes in the restaurant.
Seriously, who would want to put a six month old on the floor of a Burger King?

Man dialed 911 when lemonade ran out
Have Americans become so self-absorbed they have to call 911 when food is not to their liking?
First it was a dude in Jacksonville, FL, who called 911 because he didn’t like the way his Subway sandwich was prepared. He could have just called Jared.
Last year, someone called 911 because she couldn’t get a cheeseburger.
On Friday, a man in Boynton Beach, FL, was arrested and charged with abuse of 911 communication after calling to complain that a local Burger King in did not have any lemonade.
If I was going to call 911 on Burger King it’d be related to that mascot that looks like a creepy Thunderbirds-clone
Burger King: Paper towels in the bathroom please
I have been working for Doug for almost 4 months now. I am happy to say that I have learned a lot.
One of these things is proper hand-washing. So every time I go to a public restroom I keep my eyes open and watch every detail.
I often notice when someone skips the hand-washing step or someone who doesn’t dry up afterwards.
Just the other day I went during my lunch break to Burger King to grab a double cheeseburger. I went to the restroom first, and when I was in one of the stalls, a woman came in with her kid, telling him to scrub his hands. I heard water running. Then they just left - but I didn’t hear any paper tearing.
Well, there wasn’t any. No, BK didn’t just run out of paper. They didn’t have a paper towel dispenser at all. Only a drier. And a very lousy one. The evidence:

BK employees should not only wash their hands, but dry them as well.
Frustrated I left, and hesitated: Can I still eat my burger, knowing that employees (or at least the women) don’t dry their hands properly in that establishment?
No more BK cheeseburgers for me. Doug wrote in a letter:
Blow dryers should not be used because they accumulate microorganisms from toilet aerosols, and can cause contamination of hands as they are dried by the drier (Knights, et al., 1993; Redway,et al., 1994).
Every bathroom should have running water, soap and paper towel.

'I'm not sending officers down to enforce the making of your cheeseburger'
After a man in Jacksonville, Florida, called 911 because the Subway sandwich he ordered was not made to his liking, other similarly ridiculous calls to authorities have surfaced.
In this 2007 youtube audio posting, a woman calls local police because Burger King employees apparently didn’t make the proper hamburger for this woman and her kids. So the woman decides to stay put in the drive-thru until officers arrive.
The dispatcher at one point asks, “Is this a harmful cheeseburger?”
