Mum who found pencil in Burger King order told 'not to worry'

A mum who found a pencil in her Burger King order was told “not to worry” by one of the fast food chain’s employees. She got an unwelcome surprise after opening up her Chicken Royale with bacon.

Leanne Daly, 41, from Bootle, Merseyside, said she had bought Burger King meals for a night in treat for her sons on Monday, October 3, when she found the pencil inside a burger. The mum had purchased the burgers from the chain’s restaurant on Stanley Road in Bootle.

The 41-year-old mum, who orders from the popular fast food chain “all the time” as it is usually “really fresh”, was shocked and could “not believe it” when a pencil rolled out of her burger. She immediately called the restaurant but was not given an apology.
