MIAMI, FL—Corporate leadership and public relations managers at Burger King headquarters are getting out ahead of the COVID-19 situation by letting customers know they will begin doing the bare minimum to keep their patrons safe by requiring employees to start washing their hands.
The e-mail reads as follows:
Our Response to COVID-19
We are taking the coronavirus pandemic very seriously.
That’s why, beginning today, all Burger King employees will be required to wash their hands.
We understand that new information surrounding COVID-19 and the changing landscape of our everyday routines have many of you feeling concerned about contracting the viral illness or passing it on to other vulnerable loved ones. We at Burger King also know that our customers will continue to crave our delicious flame-grilled Whoppers, expertly salted french fries, ice-cold beverages, and other fresh tasting sandwiches, sides, and desserts.
We are monitoring the situation closely and taking important steps to help protect the health and safety of our guests and team members. One protocol that WHO and CDC recommended to us right away was, “Please, please start washing your hands for the love of all that is good on this green earth.”
We listened.
As a result, when and where possible, Burger King drive-through locations are open, and we remain dedicated to providing fresh-tasting food with lightning-fast service—now with washed hands.
We continue to closely monitor recommendations and protocols established by WHO and CDC on how to wash one’s hands, as well as the recommendations of state and local health departments. We pledge to let you know if our protocols need to be further modified as the COVID-19 circumstances develop.
Thank you for choosing Burger King.

Not sure why they felt the need to single out Burger King. It could easily have been written to include all fast food outlets. And the problem is one of horrible employees, not the lack of ever-present signage reminding employees to wash their hands. And yes, I get that this is a parody site….but as always, right on the mark with regards to employee sanitation practices.
Buger King is not being singled out.
They were stupid enough to send out that communication.
The BEE is a PARODY SITE. No, BK did NOT send this out. I am asking why the BEE singled them out in the parody.
Last BK I was in a few years back out of desperation, late at night, was nothing but nigs and mystery meat 3rd worlders. Never again.
There was a time when I would be batching it and doing guy stuff like car work, painting the house and such so would grab a BK coupon and go get their fish sandwich special-kind of a bogo sort of deal if I remember correctly. Then I read a story about what really was in their “fish” sandwich; never been back-that probably was at least 10 years ago.
Amazing how few people know how to properly wash their hands in a 1st world nation in 2020. The irony in this piece is why I haven’t (hardly) ever eaten out in about 15 years. Oh, I’ve been with family or friends on a rare occasion, but not like some folks. Even the best restaurants have mystery meat ‘tards and beaners in the kitchen.
No ‘effin’ way that’s happening. They don’t care their veggie burgers have 18 million times the estrogen of a regular burger. Why would they care about their employees’ hygiene during a deadly viral outbreak?
For the 10,000th time….the BEE is a PARODY SITE. THIS is NOT a real communication from BK.
Nice flair for the obvious, Mr. Liberty. Thanks, though. First rodeo, yeah?
No, your comment made it seem like it was yours.
