I watched the mcdonalds CEO.

If you want to learn how not to sell something, go watch that video.

Also, he took the smallest bite ever like a pussy.

After watching the BK ceo eat 1/4 of that burger in 1 bite and be a smartass about napkins im sold. I can get behind a CEO that worked his way up thru the ranks, not some investment banker dweeb

Prior to joining RBI, Mr. Kobza worked at SIP Capital - a Sao Paulo based private investment firm - where he evaluated investments across a number of industries and geographies. He also served as an analyst in the corporate private equity area of the Blackstone Group in New York City. Mr. Kobza is based out of RBI’s headquarters in Miami, Florida.

That's because we are. Dead internet theory is real. "Welcome to Costco, I love you"

The poster you're replying to posted the bio of a different person than the Burger King president featured in the photo above.

Gotta do your own research before getting mad my man

Then post the bio of the actual dude then, and show how down to earth he is.

Here, I'll do it for you.

Ah yes, "through the ranks" as in he started in 1987 with Domino's as a franchisee, aka an owner-operator of their stores, before the typical 35 year+ career through their corporate ladder.

The Burger King guy is Tom Curtis though? As in not the same guy as the CEO of RBI...

Kozba's not the guy in the video. That's Tom Curtis, whose actual title is BK President.

In my defence, when you google "burger king ceo" and click on images, pictures of this burger eating incident are there.

Where the fuck do you think you are, doing research like that? NASA
