After probably one of the worst…
After probably one of the worst shitstorms in recent Danish history based on the lies, deceits and life threatening lack of proper food handling and hygiene, I assumed that they would be on their toes not to do anything that might be considered poor behavior, so this afternoon I took my chance and thought i would see if they had gotten their act together.
At around 2pm I visited the shop in Carlsbergbyen.
Outside are tables covered with mottos like "Organic" & "Sustainability" and looking online after being greeted by this proven nonsense, they still have the nerve to state that "All our produce are sourced from places that have these values at the top of their agenda".
Inside the shop things look pretty normal, although any mention of wagyu has been removed, as this also turned out to be nothing more than another empty marketing stunt. The only remnants of the huge misleading/lying signs, is the glue that they haven't had time to remove yet.
As for the food itself.
I ordered my burger and quietly stood by a few meters away and looked at the work to see if everything was being handled correctly after the aforementioned issues. Suddenly the employee handling the fries takes all the fries that have been portioned before I entered the shop about 7 minutes prior and pours them back into the basin and mixes them with a fresh batch of fries. When I received my food, including a portion of the cold and hot fries a minute later, I asked the employee what she was doing and if this was normal procedure or if she was just trying to disguise the cold fries. She informed me(lied) that they had only been standing there for 30 seconds, so she just wanted to ensure that the customers all had fresh fries!?
My entire meal was an interesting affair with two employees staring at me most of the time, as if they had been caught with the hand in the cookie jar, hoping I wouldn't tell on them.
Honestly, I don't in any way understand why a company that have been caught red handed lying and cheating with all of the press and customers forensically looking at their behavior are still adamant about continuing these horrid practices.
My advice to all customers. Stay away until these people have understood the meaning of honesty and proper behavior.
My advice to Burger Shack. Your burgers are good and well-priced, drop the rest of the nonsense and own up to it, we all know you clearly don't care, so stop acting as if you're saving the planet...
