Employees of a Burger King were tricked by a prank call to smash the windows of the restaurant. Burger King, home of the whopper of a fuck up.
A Burger King in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, received a call by who they thought was a “fire official” on Friday night. The “fire official” informed the workers that their fast food joint had a gas leak, and the pressure was raising in the building, and they needed to immediately break all the windows otherwise the establishment would explode.
The employees then jumped into action, grabbing tire irons from their cars and then breaking all the ground-level windows.
Police quickly arrived to the scene, but not because of the gas leak, but because onlookers thought that the Burger King was being vandalized.
Firefighters were dispatched the Burger King and found no traces of leaking gas, and the fake fire official’s warning was deemed to be a hoax.
It turns out to be a rather costly prank because there was thousands of dollars in damages and one worker suffered minor cuts.
Or maybe you could have opened all the doors in the restaurant?
Or maybe even a more logical action would have been to get the fuck outta dodge so you don’t die for your minimum wage job?
I’m sorry to say this, but this definitely is an argument against the #FightFor15.
This isn’t the first time this dubious prank has worked. Back in February, pranksters convinced workers at a Burger King in Morro Bay, California to smash all of the restaurant’s windows and the same prank was successful at a Burger King in Oklahoma.
But I think we all know who’s behind these string of attacks on Burger King.
