Question

She went to see John at “Burger King.”

Answer 1

i was taught that the quotation marks take priority over commas and periods etc except in the case of a question mark or exclamation mark which act as a period( called a full stop here in the uk)

Answer 2

Punctuation and Quotation Marks.
In America, commas and periods go inside quotation marks, while semicolons and colons go outside, regardless of the punctuation in the original quotation. Question marks and exclamation points depend on whether the question or exclamation is part of the quotation, or part of the sentence containing the quotation. Some examples:

See the chapter entitled "The Conclusion, in which Nothing is Concluded." (Periods always go inside.)
The spokesman called it "shocking," and called immediately for a committee. (Commas always go inside.)
Have you read "Araby"? (The question mark is part of the outer sentence, not the quoted part, so it goes outside.)
He asked, "How are you?" (The question mark is part of the quoted material, so it goes inside.)
Note that in American usage, all quoted material goes in "double quotation marks," except for quotations within quotations, which get single quotation marks.

There are a few instances where it's wise to put the punctuation outside the quotation marks — cases where it's really important whether the punctuation mark is part of the quotation or not. A software manual, for instance, might have to make it very clear whether the period is part of a command or simply ends the sentence in which the command appears: getting it wrong means the command won't work. Bibliographers are concerned with the exact form of the punctuation in a book. In these cases, it makes sense. Most of the time, though — when lives don't depend on whether the comma is or isn't part of the quotation — stick with the general usage outlined above; it's what publishers expect.

Answer 3

Standard practice is for periods and commas to be placed inside quotation marks. Get a good grammar reference. Then you can just pull it off the shelf and check these things more easily for yourself.

Answer 4

The standard rule is that the period should be inside the quotation marks. The real question is; why are you using the quotation marks?

Answer 5

I don't think you need the quotation marks at all. But on the outside if you are using them.

Answer 6

The period is outside, and notice the comma, also.
