NEW: Kroger releases statement after they went viral for their ‘Free @ Last’ cookie cakes for Juneteenth.
The company is speaking out after receiving harsh backlash online for the cakes.
“The cakes and cookies that were featured in the video were inconsistent with our provided guidance and not of the quality we would expect to see from our stores,” they said to Fox.
“The products have been removed, and we’ve addressed this directly with the store teams and the customer who took the initial video.”
The following video was taken at an Atlanta location:
“This is some bullsh*t. And who the hell made this ugly *ss shit? I wish it was a manager here because y’all decorate everything else around here cute. Everything else around here cute. But for Juneteenth, you want to just throw something on a freaking cookie cake and expect someone to buy it? That’s bullsh*t. F**k, no. What the f**k ‘Free @ Last’? Like, really? Who the fuck think about this dumb *ss sh*t? No way. I’mma be in here bright early in the morning to talk to somebody about this because this is unacceptable.”
