A Burger King worker named Kevin Ford was recently presented with a gift bag in recognition of his 27 years of service to the quick-service restaurant company. Social media users felt that the gift bag, which consisted of a cup from Starbucks, some chocolates, and a single movie ticket, was an insufficient method to acknowledge such a huge accomplishment. As a result, the gift bag did not receive a positive reaction. Seryna Ford, Kevin’s daughter, established a GoFundMe campaign so that she could demonstrate to her dad how much her community values the commitment he has shown to his work. The campaign was successful, surpassing its objective, and raising more than 202,000 dollars in just seven days.
Kevin Ford has been employed at Burger King at the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport for the past 27 years. During that time, he has held the positions of cook and cashier at the restaurant, and he has never missed a day of work. Even though he was thankful for the gift that had been presented to him, he had the impression that other members of the staff had received more generous gifts in the past.
In response to the criticism, Burger King stated that they are dedicated to celebrating the achievements of their employees and that the gift that Kevin received was a reward for a short-term positive experience. The company also said that they have a comprehensive employee recognition programme that involves recognising tenure milestones and providing monetary awards to their staff members. This programme was described as having been highlighted in the company’s previous statement.
Kevin was floored by the outpouring of love from individuals all across the world, and he claimed that for the past two days, he has felt as though he has been in a dream. He is not anticipating receiving any monetary compensation, but if anyone feels inclined to do him a favour, he would greatly appreciate the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren.
After 27 years of perfect attendance, a Burger King worker was awarded more than $200,000 in charitable contributions.

After working at Burger King for 27 years – without missing one day of work – they gave him a candy goody bag.
But the internet wasn’t happy about that – and has raised $141,000 so far. He says he’ll use the money for his grandkids college. pic.twitter.com/iV4cCgHbTN
