Burger King: Bloomington

A Periodic Look at life in the Fast Food Lane

BURGER KING: Bloomington
Today it was another hamburger fast food restaurant, one I hadn't charted yet--Burger King. I was at the badminton team state tournament in Burnsville, and came up 35W to Bloomington to dine. With BK I believe I have now hit the big three.

Place: Burger King, 100 W 98th St, Bloomington, MN 55420
Date: Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Meal: Supper
Order: The #12 A double Cheesburger with medium fries and a medium Diet Coke
Total cost: $4.84
Method: Drive through
Time entered line: 6:02 pm (no cars in the order line)
order time: 0:15
Wait to pay: 1:34 (at least three cars ahead in the pay line)
Wait for food: 0:22
Total elapsed time: 2:11
Insulin dose: 6 (does it ever change?)

I was surprised it went so fast because there were at least three cars in front of mine. Not only that it was at the height of the Supper rush and only 2:11 for the entire transaction.
Burger King is in the fast lane at 2:11. The McDonald's in New Hope checked in at 2:07, but that was off peak hours by a good two hours.
BK is also promoting the Indiana Jones new movie.
