Auntie Anne's in Mid Valley shuts down after a shocking viral kiss – and no, it's not what you're thinking!

In a twist that you would only expect from a sitcom, the Auntie Anne's outlet in Mid Valley Megamall has decided to temporarily close its doors for some intense cleaning and disinfection. Why? Well, a certain viral photo has surfaced showing an employee getting a bit too affectionate with the dough – let’s just say it involved a kiss that not even a pretzel can handle! This incident has left many patrons scratching their heads and wondering if this is a challenge in culinary artistry or just an episode of candid camera gone wrong.

While the original intention of kissing the dough might have been one of love for the craft, Auntie Anne's Malaysia quickly took the matter into their hands – and we mean that quite literally. The enthusiastic worker has since been let go from their role, serving as a reminder that while passion should infuse our cooking, there are boundaries that mustn’t be crossed. The store management wasted no time and jumped into action, opting for a thorough cleaning process to ensure the outlet is pristine and ready to welcome back customers with open arms and fresh pretzels!

It’s not all doom and gloom for fans of the beloved pretzel chain. The Auntie Anne's brand has time and again shown resilience and adaptability. After the dust (or dough) settles, you can bet they’ll create a PR campaign that ties back to this wild incident, possibly featuring some revamped tasting sessions or dough-making workshops! Just imagine a class where participants compete on the best way to shape a pretzel without too much of a personal interaction!

In the world of food services, cleanliness and food safety always top the priority list, and this event serves as a reminder that those rules apply to everyone – staff included. As amusing as the situation may seem, there's a fun fact: Auntie Anne's started as a simple pretzel stand at a farmer's market in 1988 and has evolved into a beloved global chain. And while dough kissing will certainly not find its way into their new marketing campaigns, the story will surely remain a tasty tale in the shop’s history. So, let this be a lesson to all: keep your kisses romantic but your pretzels pure!
