A franchise bakery that is working without even turning on the heating of its store due to a lack of refrigerating facilities to store Christmas cakes is controversial.

On the 24th, a photo of a notice believed to have been posted by a bakery owner on X (X, former Twitter) is spreading online.

The notice said, "Since the total number of sales, including reserved cakes, is more than 4 to 500, employees are working hard to prepare for body aches without turning on the heating due to lack of refrigeration facilities."

Following this, the article concludes with a request, "Please say a warm word to the young friends (employees) who are guarding the store for your Christmas."

However, Internet users' responses to this are greatly divided.

One netizen criticized the store, saying, "Do you not even think about the human rights of employees to the extent that you can't turn on the heating and work on this cold day?" There were also opinions such as "Why don't we just take orders as much as we can store in the refrigerator?" and "Why do you pass on guilt to customers?"

On the other hand, there were also reactions that sympathized with the store, saying, "It is difficult to refuse reservations that come in realistically," "It must have been written for employees," and "How many truths I wish there were."

Meanwhile, cakes presented at famous bakeries for Christmas this year also received hot attention. Online, a number of Internet users posted certification that they had an "open run" from the morning to purchase the Christmas cake "Strawberry Siru" sold by Daejeon's famous bakery Sungsimdang. Twosome Place said it sold about 50% more than a year earlier from the 24th, Christmas Eve, to the 25th, the same day, with an average of more than 80 "holecakes" sold per minute.
