Following earlier reports of poor hygiene, the fast food giant announced Wednesday that it was terminating contracts for 89 franchised outlets because of continued poor treatment of staff.
The move was effective immediately, Burger King Europe said at its Munich offices. But German franchise holder Yi-Ko said it will keep operating the outlets at least until food stocks ran out.
Then move affects 89 of the fast food chain's almost 700 German outlets, and 3,000 employees now face an uncertain future.
Many of the outlets had already been temporarily closed for improvements to hygiene standards and working conditions after a damning undercover report in May by the RTL television channel.
According to the report, expired food products were relabelled as fresh ones and burgers were often kept warm for hours, rather than being freshly grilled as the chain proudly advertises.
I hate the Mac, Burger King and stuff like that. I prefer local snackbars and such by far. Meat croquettes with mustard and bread >>>> anything in the BK.

I heard this is how it is in the US.
How can people eat there?!
