Burger King doesn't sell regular cheeseburgers and hamburgers separately now?

Is this a well-known thing, or is my local BK just being weird? The only way to get your basic hamburger or cheeseburger is as part of a kids' meal - they said they don't sell them separately any more! Seriously - they actually have them in stock but straight up refused to sell me one on its own the other day. Utterly bizarre. Iloveparrots (talk) 16:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Probably depends on your country/region/franchise. Still on the menu and available in the UK. Nanonic (talk) 16:37, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

If they're jerking you around, ask for the manager, and tell them you'll spend your money at McDonald's henceforth. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:26, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

I don't think the staff member was messing with me for the sake of it - she said that there wasn't even an entry on the till system for a single basic cheeseburger and therefore couldn't sell me one. Very weird. Iloveparrots (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Burger King May Have Secretly Discontinued These Menu Items (March 2022) describes the deletion of several items (mostly salad) from US Burger King menues, but no mention of regular hamburgers. Alansplodge (talk) 21:08, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Have you tried any other BK's in your region? Maybe it's just that one store. Years ago, McD's used to sell what was called a "double cheeseburger". They eventually took it off the menu so they could promote Quarter Pounders and Big Macs and such. But you could still get a double cheeseburger. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

You can order double cheeseburgers and double hamburgers on Canadian order kiosks. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:44, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Aye! And so can any man. But do they come when you do order them? (With apologies to WS) {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.l195} 46.65.228.117 (talk) 13:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
