Kevin Ford, 54, who retired from his work at Burger King at the McCarran Airport in las Vegas Nevada about a week ago was amazed that thanks to the power of Tik Tok where Kevin received a small reward from his former employer which was nothing to write home about. Seryna Ford who is the daughter of Kevin released the video on social media to ask for donations to help her dad and herself have a larger financial reward than her dad getting pens, a coffee tumbler, a movie ticket and pens. When the word got out through GoFundMe.com that Burger King did not reward her dad with a much larger retirement package that he deserved, donations from strangers that included actor David Spade who donated $5,000 dollars to the Ford family that reached over $125,000 dollars which Kevin will use to take care of his children and grandchildren as well as saving the money for their college education. The management of Burger King has stated that the company recognizes the feats of their employees even though the reward that Kevin received was not exactly a huge thank you that many of Kevin's family felt was to their satisfaction.

@Deepizzaguy .........They can't afford it. THen the big wigs won't make their annual six-digit salaries. Big business is an American embarrassment.

They did admit that they deserve to be criticized even though they insist that they will not change their retirement package to Kevin despite his years if service to them.
