In a social media announcement, the pretzel chain revealed that it had fired the staff member, Alice Chang, and shut down the outlet at Mid Valley Megamall for “thorough disinfection and cleaning”.
The post stated: “Thank you to all who have shown concern and highlighted the recent incident involving Alice Chang. We would like to clarify that Alice Chang was previously employed by Auntie Anne's Malaysia but she was immediately terminated following this incident.
At Auntie Anne's Malaysia, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of hygiene and safety for our customers and staff. We do not condone or tolerate any actions that compromise these standards.
As part of our proactive measures, the outlet in question will be temporarily closed for thorough disinfection and cleaning. The outlet will reopen once the disinfection process is completed and all necessary safety protocols are confirmed.”
What happened?
The very bizarre incident made its rounds online after netizen Xiiao Liingzz posted a viral video and photos of Alice, which was apparently from Alice’s own Xiaohongshu account.
Subsequent photos showed her smooching the dough while taking selfies. There was also a secretly-taken shot of Alice apparently being confronted by her colleagues after getting caught.
Netizens disgusted
Netizens expressed their disgust in the comment section of the Facebook post, which garnered some 4,600 shares. “Auntie Anne’s Malaysia may I know which outlet? But nvm, goodbye Auntie Anne,” wrote one Facebook user.
The plot thickens
The exposé post also included screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation between Alice and her Auntie Anne’s supervisor, where she confirmed her employment terms and work schedule.
Her supervisor then suddenly texted her a photo of a notorious Malaysian troublemaker named Adeline Chang, who made the news after refusing to pay for her Grab rides. “Is this you?” the supervisor asked.
“No, she is my relatives [sic],” said Alice, who was later outed by netizens to be Adeline’s sister.
