    In burger king today on the belgard rd tallaght,Elderly man in front ordered a burger,fries and a tea he then proceeded to pay for items,Before he left the counter he noticed he was not giving any milk for his tea and asked for some,The staff member gave it to him and asked for an extra 25c a small tub,The man refused to pay saying the tea should come with milk at no extra cost,Manager was called for and said you have to pay extra for the milk the man refused and after demanding a total refund(and getting it) he handed back his food and stormed out,


    Should you have to pay extra for milk in tea in burger king or should it be like sugar & inclusive.

    Are you sure he wasn't asking for extra milk? Maybe the old man likes baby tea!

    # the guy in charge obviously thought this was a genius idea and the staff were just doing their job - Shocking stuff in my opinion - 25cent for like 10 mils of UHT milk too proably puts in on par with gold prices.

    I've never seen anybody charged for milk when they order tea in a fast food place before. 25c for that crap (that barely tastes like milk) is ridiculous.

    when i was a manager in bewleys i didnt discriminate against peoples choice in how they drank their tea. milk was free but some people (usually the snobs) would order tea with 3 tea bags and an extra pot of hot water
    it was obvious they were pulling a fast one of getting free tea by getting a very strong pot and watering it down

    i hated them for it but i couldnt charge them for the extra tea bags because they could easily state that they preferred their tea strong

    when i moved into the managers role in roches stores i started charging 10c for hot water in the canteen because a few women (again, usually the snobs) brought their own tea bags into the canteen. they were seething at me doing it but i was within my rights to do it


    the man in burger king was right to refuse to pay for milk because it should be provided with the tea whether they like it or not
    its only UHT milk so if the customer doesnt use it can be thrown back into the fridge

    ive noticed that burger king try to get you to pay more by offering extras. yesterday i got a triple whopper meal and was asked all the questions in the world about upgrading the meal.
