Sorry for the impartial image description, but I didn’t want to lend any further credence to this claim. It is completely untrue. You can easily remove your payment information on the Burger King app. (And, uh, nearly all food apps require your credit card info? Heck, Uber/Lyft requires a credit card!)

Imagine hating poor people this much that you try to spread a patently false claim about a scam.

There is a catch with this promotion, though, and that’s that it only works in Burger King locations with mobile ordering. At least if you’re going to criticize something, get the criticism right.
