    That explains McDs being jammed saturday. Totally stinks though, I prefer BK, was only at the other place because I had the grandkids.
    Glad no injuries.

    There is a reason that the McDs right next door will have a full parking lot and a
    drive- thru line around the building, meanwhile BK might have two cars in the parking lot.
    BK makes my favorite burgers, but I haven’t eaten at that location in years even though I drive past it several times each day.

    The sad part is it’s so close to the holidays and those people out of a job that’s really pitiful

    When they said flame-broiled, they weren’t kidding.
