Crumbl Cookies Responds to Viral Video of Employee Resting Foot on Baking Pans Amid Plans to Expand

That’s the way the cookie Crumbls.

After a video said to be taken at a Crumbl Cookies location in West Melbourne, Florida, went viral on TikTok for appearing to catch an employee resting their foot (sans a shoe) on a stack of baking trays, the food giant has responded.

The short clip, posted earlier this week, zooms in on a person seemingly employed by the company with their foot outside of their Crocs footwear. The person filming simply says, “I’m not eating s**t from here” and canceled their order.

In a statement to People on Thursday, January 15, a Crumbl spokesperson pointed out that the original video “is over a year old and does not reflect appropriate operations.”

“Employees are trained on strict health and safety standards that are expected to be followed at all times,” the spokesperson said in the statement. “Since the video was recorded, the store has transitioned to new ownership, and appropriate action was taken with the employee involved.”

The comments section on TikTok, however, was overflowing with jokes and puns pointing out that the person in the video was far from a smart cookie.

“Fungal crumble,” one person wrote, garnering thousands of likes and plenty of other commenters who chimed in to call the company “Fungl.”

“Crocs in the workplace is already crazy,” another person wrote, while one said: “She’s feeling a lil too at home.”

In other Crumbl-related news, the bakery chain plans to develop a line of doughnuts.

“Crumbl is excited to be testing doughnuts as part of the ongoing product innovation process,” the company told USA Today in a statement on Wednesday.
