New Mexico police officer received Burger King order with pig drawn on wrapper

A police officer posted a picture Thursday of a Burger King meal he ordered while in uniform on lunch break: a drawing of a pig.

Timo Rosenthal says an employee drew a picture of a pig on the wrapper at a Burger King in Clovis, New Mexico. His Facebook post details that the patties were also burnt.

Our partners at KUSA reported that the Burger King said in a statement to Fox News that the team members involved in the incident had been terminated. The company also reached out to the officer to apologize.

“What occurred is unacceptable and not in line with our brand values,” the company said. “When made aware of the incident, the restaurant owner immediately reached out to the officer involved to apologize and terminated the team members involved.”

The company also said it would be offering free meals to uniform officers as a “gesture of goodwill.”

However, Rosenthal told KRQE that he does not plan on returning to the Burger King.
