California Burger King Employees Caused $35,000 Worth Of Damages

A prank call makes the employees of Burger King in California to destroy the restaurant causing $35,000 worth of damages

The famous fast food chain, Burger King Worldwide Inc. has many outlets around the world; it is evidently difficult to control every outlet it has. One of its fast food restaurants in California received a prank call that led to damage of $35,000 in Morro Bay. The prank caller told the employees that there was a gas leak in the outlet.

The Hamburger restaurant employee received a call and were told that it was from a local fire department by the prank caller, telling them about a gas leak. This misinformation led to chaos as the employees started panicking and started to smash the window of the outlet as they were told that would help ventilate the area.

The call was received by the fast food restaurant on a Saturday night, the burger flippers did not use their common sense and thought that their lives were in danger and started to break the windows of the outlet. The manager of the outlet even used a vehicle to break the entrance of the building. The employees did not make a call to confirm whether this information was factual or not, because even if there was a fire leak, the fire department could have known beforehand, it seems that common sense is not that common among these Burger King employees.

The employees who caused damages worth $35,000, who believed they were saving their lives at that time have been suspended according to the owner of the food service in California. The employees only found out that call was from a prankster when the police and real fire department arrived at the scene, and did not find any gas leak in the building but only damage to the windows which was done by the workers for ‘ventilation’.

Investigations are being conducted at this point to identify the caller and the entire chaos. The police told the employees that the fire department are not magician or wizards that they would have known of gas leak beforehand and there is no way of knowing this in any case. Burger King’s employees are becoming famous when it comes to foolishness, a report made headlines when one of the employees stole all of the chicken nuggets from one of the store of the company.

The police also informed that in the future if such calls are received with life threatening information, one should always make another call just to make sure if the report is true or false. The outlet in Morro Bay is going to reopen on Tuesday at 6:30 which has been closed since Sunday.
