One thing that the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has taught us is to stay united. The months-long lockdown in the past and the other adversities have brought people together to help each other out and move ahead in life.
Recently, Burger King UK set one such example that won many hearts across the globe. The American fast-food chain took to its Twitter handle and urged its customers in the United Kingdom to order food from its competitor food chains like McDonalds, KFC, Papa John’s, Taco Bells etc. to save jobs.
This tweet came as a sign of positivity when the food and hospitality businesses around the world are trying to cope up with the ‘new-normal’ after suffering from a downfall (read: huge loss) in the past months.
