Viral Video Shows Crumbl Cookies Employees Doing Their Hair Inside Store

Crumbl said it closed the store, discarded dough and brought in cleaners after a customer-recorded video showed employees grooming each other.

  • On Friday, a customer filmed Crumbl Cookies employees styling hair inside the company's South Kings Drive location in Charlotte, North Carolina. The footage appeared to show staff performing the activity near food preparation areas.
  • Regular customer William Baker recorded the scene after visiting the Midtown store for a treat. Baker confronted the workers about sanitary risks, but he said they dismissed his concerns before he left without ordering.
  • Crumbl Cookies issued a statement on Tuesday, labeling the behavior 'inappropriate' and 'unacceptable.' The company closed the store to discard dough and perform a professional cleaning, confirming the employees involved no longer work there.
  • The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services stated Wednesday that it plans to conduct an 'unannounced inspection at the firm.' Officials confirmed they had not received prior complaints regarding the facility.
  • Baker remains skeptical, stating he will not return to the location despite it reopening Tuesday. The incident highlights broader concerns regarding sanitation standards at the chain, which operates more than 1,100 locations across the U.S.
