The Burger King employee celebrating 27 years on the job says he was left really disappointed after receiving a measly goodie bag from his company, yet he still expresses gratitude.
TMZ talked to 54-year-old Kevin Ford, who works as a cook and cashier at Burger King in the Las Vegas airport, and shares how his employer celebrated his anniversary. Showing a video of himself with the contents of the goody bag, Kevin shared that he does not want people to think that he is ungrateful but he just found the gift a little too bland.
He tells us HMS Host, the company from which Burger King hires, sent him what felt like the stuff they had lying around the office.
Kevin shares that he has been working for the company for the longest time and usually employees get checks for their anniversaries with the company.
Kevin says he is gratfeul that he has a job during these testing times and has no intention of throwing shade at his company.
The good news is that with more than a quarter-century under his belt, someone DID step up to show appreciation -- Kevin's daughter.
