‘Always ask for your receipt’

Customer says Burger King worker secretly charged her extra to pocket some money

A TikToker says that a Burger King employee stole $16 dollars from her at a location in Taylor, Michigan.

Her receipt shows that she paid $16 dollars in cash and then paid the bill in full on her credit card. In the comments of the video, the TikToker says that because she paid $16 dollars in cash, her card should have been charged $18.95 (the bill in full was $34.95).

In a TikTok posted on Feb. 4, @mrshardy shows her receipt from the Burger King in question. In it, she tells another person that the actions of the employee could get her in serious trouble. The TikToker wrote in the video’s caption that the worker “told the police I didn’t give her cash” and commented that a supervisor at Burger King told her that the employee wasn’t fired, though disciplinary action was taken.

“I’m writing corporate,” the TikToker commented. @mrshardy’s video has been viewed over 73,000 times.

Commenters on @mrshardy’s video said they had had similar experiences.

“Someone at a McDonald’s stole my mom’s credit card numbers and was ordering off Amazon,” @moodymoonie commented. “They got nerve.”

“I legit had this happen to me today at the exact same store!” @naeeh wrote.

“I stopped going to that one after the manager claimed my card declined but charged it 4 times and tried to deny it,” @danitimes wrote.

Others offered the TikToker advice about her situation.

“Always ask for your receipt. I noticed these restaurants will keep your receipt,” @sheritagriffin wrote.

“Just show the cops, have manager count the drawer and call corporate,” @notapickme commented. “It’s all on video.”
