I haven't eaten at one since the eighties but I don't remember Burger King being any worse than the other fast food places. Wonder why they all went away from this area?

when it was a *real* burger king, it was by far the WORST burger king I have eaten, & it was one of the dirtiest places I have been to. The 2nd time I went there, I went inside & ordered, got my food & went to sit a a table-not a clean table in the place, garbage over flowing from the cans, everything smelled like rancid ketchup-just disgusting-I couldn't finish my food & never went back after that-this was maybe 5 yrs ago.

I have no idea how they ever stayed in business.

& yes, what was shown on the news was hilarious.

Agreed. A BK in the Pittsburgh suburbs is about as useful as a BK in Siberia for me.

There is a BK over in Carrick on Brownsville Rd.

Closer to the east end, you got one in Etna as well.

I completely agree with all of this that you've said.

I live in Lawrenceville and go to the gas stations there since it's the cheapest gas by me sometimes and it's a ten minute drive at worst to that BK from the city neighborhoods near the Allegheny River.

There's a BK in Castle Shannon as well - on Library Rd., which isn't all that far from some parts of Pittsburgh. I've been there twice. No problems.

This story is hilarious.
