Los Angeles resident Boyce Harvey got the exact opposite of what he was expecting when he went to Burger King hoping to capitalize on the restaurant's online one-cent Whopper deal.
According to UPI, customers who bought their Whopper via the Burger King app within 600 feet of a McDonald's would be charged only $0.01 for the sandwich.
When Harvey arrived at the counter to pick up his food, however, he found that was not the case.
I secured my one cent whopper thx Burger King and McDonalds
As he made it to the counter, the Burger King's manager told Harvey their system was not showing his order. Slightly disappointed, but hungry more than anything, he decided to order something else instead, paying with a card without worrying about the price.
Hey @BurgerKing I am LITERALLY in the @McDonalds parking lot & your app won't unlock the "whopper for 1 cent". Nice… https://t.co/Nvbgvkxe14
