The Burger King Employee’s Reaction

Ford is nothing but thankful for the power of social media. He is also planning a vacation with his Family soon with the help of the money. And we can’t agree more. After 27 years of service, he deserves it. “I just can’t believe this. Thank you, thank you, everybody. I just want to tell everybody out there, ‘Thank you for every cent.’ Just the thought of watching the video and just having a reason to smile. I want to thank everybody,” Ford reveals. The donations have come from Australia, the U.K., and a lot of other countries as well. Ford and his family are basking in all the love they are getting. While a part of the internet is happy about the news, others feel a need for Burger King to match the public’s donation. People still feel humiliating Ford with the goodies was the worst company ethics shown by Burger King. And that the employee deserves an apology. Well, can’t help but agree with that!
