It read, 'Order From McDonald's. We never thought we'd be asking you this. Just like we never thought we'd be encouraging you to order from KFC, Subway, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Greggs, Taco Bell, Papa John's, Leon ... or any of the other independent food outlets, too numerous to mention here.'
"In short, from any of your sister food chains (fast or not so fast). We never thought we'd be asking you to do this, but restaurants employing thousands of staff really need your support at the moment,' it said.

It also added, 'So, if you want to help, keep treating yourself to tasty meals through home delivery, takeaway or drive thru. Getting a Whopper is always best, but ordering a Big Mac is not such a bad thing.'
Ever since the tweet was posted on the micro-blogging website, Burger King has been getting a lot of respect from people all over. People took to the comments section to appreciate their message.

This message made me cry. I am so sad for the industry, and all the workers who are facing tough times. It's a valiant marketing campaign and the only one that's made me feel like, in some ways, "we are all in this together."
