guess you can say it’s handmade 🤷🏻♀️ The footage, which surfaced on Douyin on Jan. 5, sparked widespread criticism online. After issuing an official statement on Jan. 6 announcing that it had launched an internal investigation, Chagee said the outlet involved will be closed indefinitely for rectification until it passes a stringent inspection. Chagee said the video was a staged shoot conducted by a store employee who wanted to jump on a viral online trend to attract more customers. Surveillance footage also showed that the drinks were not sold and the ingredients were disposed immediately after the shoot. Chagee also confirmed that the employee has been dismissed, and both the outlet manager and regional supervisor will be demoted.
