A video of the unidentified employee showing off a goodie bag he received after nearly three decades of perfect attendance was posted on Reddit’s ABoringDystopia page.
“This man dedicated 27 years of service to Burger King and wasn’t even rewarded with $27 worth of trinkets in his ‘goodie bag,’” read FastRitz’s caption.
The hard-working staffer received a movie ticket, a bag of Reese’s Pieces, a clear Starbucks tumbler, a lanyard, two pens, a couple of keychains and two packs of Lifesavers.
The employee appears truly grateful for his goodie bag, which some assume is a gift from his co-workers.
His gratitude caused mixed reactions in the comments section. While some called it sad, others were enraged about the items he received. Some loved how proud he was of his gift.

“Nobody bought anything,” one person commented. “Those are the giveaway bags offered at special events or by hiring managers. Corporate buys that stuff by the case to give away.”
Another wrote: “And he’s so humble and kind about it … He deserves so much more.”

This is so fucked, man. I couldn't imagine working at the same shitty place for 27 years, and not moving up at all. Surely that has to drain you of your life. I suppose some people just like the routine and stability, but, fuck, I just can't imagine living that way. Slaving away at a shitty ass job for 27 years, for a company that wouldn't give a second thought if you dropped dead.

Though I in no way intend to defend anything going on here. My assumption is that said goodie bag was provided by this persons manager as an out of pocket expense. It was not the corporation expressing gratitude it was their supervisor.
Congratulations to this worker for their fine service. Under my assumption the manager deserves some thanks also for stepping in where the company did not.
If I'm wrong and BK corporate gave this man a goodie bag for nearly 30 years as a loyal employee: fuck you!
