Minnesota Burger King workers smash windows after prank call

A prank caller tricked workers at a Minnesota Burger King into smashing the windows of the restaurant to keep it from exploding, police said Saturday, mirroring similar deceptions at Burger Kings and other fast-food restaurants in other states in recent months.

Police said employees at the restaurant in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids got the call Friday night from someone claiming to be with the fire department. The caller said the restaurant could explode, so they needed to relieve the pressure. The manager and other employees believed the caller and smashed all the windows on the ground floor.

"Officers arrived and found that the manager and employees of the Burger King were smashing out the windows," Sgt. Rick Boone told the Star Tribune. "The manager explained they'd received a phone call from a male who identified himself as a fireman who said there were dangerous levels of gas in the building and they had to break out all the windows to keep the building from blowing up."

How could they fall for this???????????

We want to pay them $15/hour??????????????????

The prank caller is a moron too!

Good grief!  :mental:

Yeah, don't check air pressure (movement) by the door, or even the drive through window.

Just break those windows.



What are their (D)Ummie names?

As for minimum wage, I think I read that unions would get increases if the minimum wage was raised..... it's in their contracts.  :stoner:

And these idiots think they are worth $15/hour?  :rofl:  Didn't something similar happen several years ago, too?

and that's why you have a career that requires you to ask "do you want fries with that" to every  customer.

You get the feeling that if the employees didn't do as the manager requested (smash the window) they would be without a job and BK would uphold the firings?
