Burger King has launched a campaign in the U.S. called 'Bullying Junior'. It wants to show how the bullying of young people is overlooked.

In one of the restaurants actors "bullied" both young customers and also the food they delivered. The actors would punch a burger, then wrap and serve it.

Customers were quick to respond when they were served terrible-looking burgers but only 12 per cent of customers stood up to the bullies.
