Burger King Employee Allegedly Bites Co-Worker in Face

A Burger King employee allegedly took “Have It Your Way” a little too far after getting into a fight biting his co-worker in the face.

Have It Your Way

In 1974, Burger King launched its “Have It Your Way” campaign, allowing customers customize their sandwiches however they wanted. The campaign even featured a catchy jingle with the lyrics, “Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce; special orders don’t upset us.”

The “Have It Your Way” campaign is still around today and has become closely associated with the Whopper, helping make the Whopper Burger King’s signature burger. The chain even offers a “Whopper Guarantee”: If your Whopper isn’t made as ordered or doesn’t meet expectations, Burger King says it’ll remake it on the spot or give you a QR code for a free Whopper on your next visit.

Burger King Employee Takes a Bite Out of Co-Worker

FOX 17 reported that police were called to a Burger King in Coldwater, Michigan, after two employees got into a fight. According to the report, one employee took “Have It His Way” a little too far, allegedly hitting his co-worker in the head with a phone before biting him in the face.

According to the report, 22-year-old Austin Lawhead allegedly got into an argument with his 45-year-old co-worker after returning from his break. Things quickly escalated into a physical fight. The older man suffered multiple head injuries and was taken to the hospital. Lawhead was later charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.

When one is writing a story about hot dogs, it is appropriate to include many pictures from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Did you know there is a National Hot Dog and Sausage Council? I didn't...until today. You know what I said when I found them?
