Sensationalist bullshit. Nobody works 27 years in Burger King unless there is something fucked up in his life. If it was really that bad, there would be a link to the actual article.
Lmao bro it isn't hard to Google dumbass. You could type all this out, get angry, yet couldn't Google. You're useless https://people.com/burger-king-employee-who-never-missed-a-day-of-work-in-27-years-gets-usd400-000-in-donations-it-s-a-miracle-7693130
I dont care about the link. My issue is with sensationalist non-linked pictures being normal and unmoderated.
Oh wow someone had their blood boiling. Have fun with the mods. I hope you have fun with them because I have had a good track record of not using offensive language towards others up until now. :3 It would be a shame if that was a waste.
There are more ways to be a jerk than using "offensive language". Also, it's never a waste to be civil, and you shouldn't need a reward for doing so.
You're useless lol
I would like to sincerely apologize on behalf of people here that offensive language by people trigger you, please accept that there are many people out there who are dumb and trying to troll you.
You are stronger than that, you are smarter than them, you are better than them and you should elevate yourself by simply ignoring them; otherwise you are a pearl-clutching cupcake-eating obese limp-wrist bitch and should not read naughty words that make you feel bad on the internet.
From what details they shared, his life sounds fairly unremarkable. Feel free to stay mad, though.

Let's suppose what you are saying is true. A Burger King job is only for those people with fucked up lives, and provides no option for them to unfuck their lives. Even if they work there for 27 years, their lives will still be fucked.
Supposing all that is true, then why do we allow them to do business at all? If a company exists only through the exploitation of desperate, "fucked up" workers, without any expectation of them "un-fucking" their lives, why do we allow them to remain in business, competing with responsible companies that actively improve society and the economy?
If Burger King actually operates the way you imply, they should be ejected from the market, so that non-exploitative businesses are not forced to compete with them.
It doesn't matter what kind of "fucked up" it is. The pay is too low.
Some people do have something fucked up in there lives. Especially people that get stuck there. Still should be able to afford a place to live
