Amid the pandemic, many food businesses have taken a huge blow. During this time, one food chain's post is going viral for a very unique reason.
Burger King recently left their fans shocked when they asked customers to order from McDonald's or any other food joint so that restaurants employing thousands of employees can get the support in these uncertain times. This came as a shock as Burger King and McDonald's often roast each other on social media platforms.

The UK branch of the food chain posted a note on their Twitter account urging people to also buy food from "KFC, Subway, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Greggs, Taco Bell, Papa John's, Leon or any of the other independent food outlet" as innumerable jobs depend on it.
They wrote a heartwarming note which read, "Order from McDonald's. We never thought we'd be asking you to do this. Just like we never thought we'd be encouraging you to order from KFC, Subway, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Greggs, Taco Bell, Papa John's, Leon... or any of the other independent food outlets, too numerous to mention here. In short, from any of our sister food chains (fast or not so fast)."
They added that they never thought they would be asking their customers to do this, but people need help right now. "We never thought we'd be asking you to do this, but restaurants employing thousands of staff really need your support at the moment. So, if you want to help, keep treating yourself to tasty meals through home delivery, takeaway or drive thru. Getting a Whopper is always best, but ordering a Big Mac is also not such a bad thing. Take care, Team Burger King UK (sic)," Burger King added.
Earlier, McDonald's had also tweeted to its customers trolling them for not asking about how they are doing and for only enquiring about items on the menu. They tweeted, "it's always "when is the McRib coming back" and never "how are you doing person who runs the McDonald's account"."
