#1 If you have ever walked into an "unviable" BK or other fast-food restaurant, you probably left without buying anything but also no longer hungry.

#2 When can we close down "unviable" blue voting urban areas?

#3 Maybe IF BK brought back REAL Whoppers and the real beef they originally used. Not the mystery meat crap they serve now.

Maybe, just maybe we'd try BK again, after writing them off years ago.

BTW: Been over 2 years since we tried the $1+ Mikey D's even smaller burger.

#5 We've got two in the immediate area, one of which is consistently busy. The other one - with lousy service - not so much.

#6 I've never understood why the kitchen is arranged where we can WATCH them remove the burger patty from a bin and stick it in the microwave? They clearly aren't "fresh" like Wendys and Whataburger. Why would ANY Burger King location be "viable"?

#7 If you have ever walked into an "unviable" BK...

Downtown Dallas, Federal courthouse complex.
During the homeless lunch rush when trials recess.
In one door, out the next. As quickly as I could.

#8 The Michigan locations that closed were franchise locations, not company shops. There is a lawsuit over money owed by the franchisee to BK.

#9 Always been 'hit or miss' - sometimes quite good, often inedible. Better than McD's, which except for breakfast is consistently barely edible. Haven't been to either in 20 years.

#10 You mean gay burgers and plant patties didn't attract a customer base?

I know. Make the King a tranny and the commercials lame.
