That can't be real
Anyone could pick the name "Burger King Tralee" and post whatever they want using it.
Doesn't mean it's actually coming from a BK employee, let alone anyone authorized to speak on behalf of BK.
I've been piecing together the timeline on The Google.
Early February 2014, the Burger King Tralee account opens. It spends its first couple weeks answering questions about wait times and gluten-free menu items in a professional manner. If it's a fake, then it's a well-constructed fake, showing a greater degree of patience and communication skills than I'd expect. Then this post happens around Feb 17th. The post, as well as the comment that prompted it, are quickly deleted, but not until after screenshots have gone viral.
First, they claim to have been "hacked". Then, they claim it was a rogue employee. Then they apologize and offer a pancake breakfast to the community, to anyone who reposts their apology message. Then, the franchise owner pipes up to say "Hey, we don't have an official facebook page for that location in the first place! We have no idea who the hell that is."
Based on this, what I think happened is that the store's general manager or somebody made a facebook page without jumping through all the hoops with corporate, it was briefly accessed by a rogue employee, and rather than own up to it the owners used the unverified status as a deniability shield. Then they told the manager, or whoever the architect of the Pancake Breakfast was, that they were overreaching their role re: PR, and needed to just play along with the new story.

"Oh, Calendar! That's not a joke! Do you even know what a joke is?" We said it so often that a seed of doubt grew in me. Does the Calendar know something I don't? Perhaps I don't know what a joke is. Thus, as in many moments of uncertainty, I turned to Google.

Pretty good, that. I wonder who said it first...
Why do you think I have to tell all my jokes in a forum now?

I think December 31st will just be an ad for the 2016 Joke a Day Calendar.
That would be pretty ballsy after the previous 364 days
New 2016 calendar! Now with humour!
*For certain values of 'humour'.
It would be a pretty great joke, though.

Kind of like that Nihilist Arby's twitter.
I hope you took the time to track me down and kick my ass. 15 year old me had it coming.

Next time you go, tell me not to sell all my dual lands for $5 each and instead buy way more for $5 each.
Thanks.

Employee Evaluation: "He's been working with glue too much."
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
I can't put it down
It's a sly way of saying he must be high from sniffing glue. It's not A material, but is is a joke.

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Because it steals the letters of other words, making them shorter, to prolong its cursed unnatural existence.
Well, now we know who wrote this thing.
So, any requests for 2016?
Unless....
the calendar is using this thread for inspiration.
Quick, someone call SCP!
