Incredibly abusive service at the Sault Ste Marie location (Store # 11717, located at 4441 I-75 Business Spur). $3.49 mistake on my order. Called in and spoke with a very surly person who copped an attitude with me from the beginning and then hung up on me after telling me to take it to corporate. I drove back to the store calling over and over again and they refused to pick up, claiming when I got there that they were "too busy." (Please see the below photo of the dining room with five people in it-- that's her "too busy" to answer the phone. She was hiding from the customer she had antagonized and she knows that full well.)Manager and her son, who called her "Mom,” were just as abusive, finally telling me to "Get the f*** out of her store," She refused to identify herself— none of these people were wearing name tags, which I understand is a REQUIREMENT for all franchises within Burger King. Frustrated, I sat on the front counter and demanded her name. All employees went to the back of the store, refusing to talk to me. She came back with her district manager on the phone and claimed he was telling me to "Get the f*** off his counter." She refused to let me speak to him or to give me his number. Meanwhile, her son screamed at me "Are you pulling out that pocket knife and going to stab me?!" This was interspersed with calling me a "F***ing loser" and telling me to "Get the f*** out of his store before he beats the sh** out of me." I want it on record that the District Manager, whose name is apparently "Chris Kowalski" (I saw it on her phone screen.), could clearly hear these statements, as could the five customers in the lobby. It is also recorded on their security footage. (At NO point was my body language in any way threatening, nor did I reach for the pocket knife that remained securely clipped in my pocket through the entire ordeal. Probably the single stupidest part of this entire ridiculous situation was a seventeen year old fast food worker screeching at me that I was a “loser” who was likely to get violent.)I am filing a BBB complaint as well as have made a complaint to corporate, on top of leaving negative reviews on social media and on Google Reviews. Corporate has no customer service phone number, choosing to hide from the customer (wonder where the manager got this from) behind a chat AI. When I received an email from a customer service rep and replied with the threats and abuse that had been leveled AT me by these people, zendesk closed my ticket "Because it detected profanity."You don't say? My quote from the offensive teen punk threatening me with bodily harm and dropping F-bombs like commas had profanity in it? How about you discipline your employees so that such things don't happen again and don't need to be caught by your filter?Not likely to return to a Burger King EVER at this rate, and definitely not until this manager and every single employee working there on 6/20/2025 at 7pm is fired.
