Burger King regularly runs a 2 for 5, or 2 for 6 deals on those chicken Sandwiches. 8.99 for 2 meals or 5 dollars for 1 through the app.

so really its 3 dollars for just the sandwich and 4.50 for a meal/5 dollars if you just buy one through the app.


Your link says this on the burger king page.

I know everyone does not use the apps, or coupons, but its kind of clear you can get them cheaper than the advertised price.

Except you said Chick-fil-a starts at $9. Wrong once again.

The $9 thing confused me as well. I think they meant starting pay is $9 per hour. I could be wrong, but it makes more sense than a $9 chicken sandwich.

They specifically said chicken sandwich. Said Chick-fil-a was overpriced because of it, lol. They often get the numbers wrong.

The post you are referring too was indeed about how much they pay employees, not the cost of the sandwich as I was directly responding to someone who said they pay their employees a living wage.

I can understand the slight confusion, there is a lot of information back and forth in this thread, but the string of comments being responded too, should have made it clear.

So you would rather pay someone less and not a living wage. Got it!

Also, saying you get sundays off isnt some blessing. The work week is the same amount of day, they dont get an extra day off, they simply always get sunday off

Im honestly not sure if you were joking or if you genuinely thought the company paid people for and gave them an extra day off ???????

Their big message sign (visible across the lot) indicated that they were starting people at $12 hr.

You werent the only one who made this mistake though, so its obvious I worded it in a way that mislead some.

who knows.

I thought a day after I showed what CFA prices in the Mobile AL area were (where said poster lives) .... hmmm, maybe they meant starting wage.

But since they've doubled down on "But you can get 3 Burger King Crispy Chickens for the price of 2 every other week", I can't say I'm sure.
