The Overconsumption Problem with Crumbl Cookies

There's so many cookies both online and offline. The best ones are usually found offline. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the things we see online rather than the things we see offline.

I have no idea why its always the same type of people. The Stanley cup and fabric headband with pearls kind 😭

As someone who has worked crumbl, people forget we are technically still a fast food place. None of us are bakers, the training we get is basically nonexistent and yes we work for almost nothing. We get paid minimum wage (7.25 per hour). There are no breaks since they schedule each shift just under the 8 hour mark and have managers working 39 hours to avoid giving them benefits. Crumbl is literally just a fast food place just instead of fry oil its butter.

I’ve been working at crumbl for over a year and a half and I swear to god, the customers have never been more rude than they are now. THEYVE BECOME TOO ENTITLED TO THEIR COOKIES 🙌

This ajumma getting hotter with each passing day 🥵

I worked at Crumbl and everything the tiktoker said was true about the working conditions but also…the quality of the cookies sucks because 1) they intentionally underbake them. My manager used to tell us it didn’t matter if they were underbaked because they would sit in the warmer for hours which would “keep baking them” 2) They hire staff with no experience and just throw them into baking and icing cookies, so the presentation looks terrible because people don’t know what they’re doing 3) They have 3 people doing the job of 8 at any given time, and they don’t give you breaks so all of the employees are running around tired, hungry, sore, stressed, etc. So your cookies turn out like shit because the entire process is being rushed and half-assed lol. I lasted in the job for a month and I physically couldn’t take it anymore 😅 I’m 30. I think the people who manage to stay there longer are teenagers because they don’t know that a job shouldn’t be like that. But yeah, don’t waste the money and calories on Crumbl.

It’s like they assume no one has heard of a food stylist. For those promotional photo shoots Crumbl employs a TEAM of individuals to very selectively create and edit individual cookies. They will literally spend HOURS on shooting those things, and employ tactics that render the product inedible. Gloss, varnish, paint, glycerin, fixative sprays, food coloring—hell, maybe even stuff like petroleum jelly and hairspray. The product you see in ads is NEVER comparable to what an actual store is going to produce. But what do you expect with a trash company making a profit off a cheap and unhealthy item like a crappy cookie? And people wonder why we’re all fat, sick and broke.

I like a slightly underdone, chewy cookie but they look raw. Being able to just pick away chunks of what is basically still dough is wild.

So this is that 'I wake up at 5am' content that Mikayla was crying about. She was in queue to buy awful overpriced cookies at that time?

this is a lesson to go to ur local bakers, where its portioned to size good for u, cooked all the way, and is up to health code

I worked there 8 months pregnant, wasn't allowed to sit and was told to move heavy boxes that were unsafe. Fuck crumbl cookies from the bottom of my heart

Fun Fact: when you're in manufacturing, it takes time to make something look nice and good. When your boss/client screams you gotta be faster, you take shortcuts and then you end up with a mess...

Crumbl cookies are so disgustingly sweet, that I couldn’t eat even half a cookie. Not worth it when there’s a Japanese and a Korean bakery right down the street near me.

Bruh, the raw cookie crumbling was disgusting. Holy crap. Edit: Never thought having a properly baked cookie was a flex. Bye bye $, hello Miss Salmonella

From a chef’s perspective, they are damn near always underbaked and they frost them when they are still hot. A lovely combo for over-rated cookie dough.

I got crumbl cookies from my moms friend cause she heard I was having a hard time and when I tell you the flavors weren’t flavors. The flavor profiles were absolutely devoured by sugar. Like they were literally more sugary than whipped cream.

Good morning! post video at 9pm

Not him saying "having a fully baked cookie so we don't get sick is something we can all agree on" and me awkwardly remembering all the times I have slammed a whole pack of raw cookie dough on my own in a sitting stoppp 😭

People either need to learn how to bake (sugar cookies aren’t that hard to make) or they just need to find a local bakery that makes good cookies. 30$ for 6 cookies is a crime

I LOVE cookies so much that I recently learned how to bake them myself! It was so exciting and fulfilling to mix ingredients together, pop them in the oven, and pull out a delicious batch of treats. But ever since I started making my own cookies, I've stopped buying from commercial stores. I feel better about it though because I know what goes into the cookies I'm eating now, I can control the sweetness and butter content, and I can portion them better. I've never tried Crumbl cookies (am not from the West) but those look bonkers. They're so big and look so sugary. They scare me a little bit...and like I said, I LOVE cookies 😂
