27-Year Burger King Employee’s Viral Story Helps Start Business [Video]

A long-time Burger King employee who received a lackluster gift from his bosses after nearly 30 years of perfect attendance is now getting the last laugh as he prepares to make his entrepreneurial dreams come true, starting a good truck of his own.

Kevin Ford had the internet buzzing in 2022 when he shared a video of the gift bag he received for 27 years of service as a cook and cashier at a Burger King in the Las Vegas airport. Although he’d never missed a day of work, the contents of Ford’s gift bag looked like things that were randomly pulled from the supply closet, including pens, key chains, candy and a plastic Starbucks cup. We should add that they did throw one movie ticket in there too.
