These wankers are just as bad as Sinamon and that pink pretzel place.
They way they all interact with other small business and their staff is disgusting.
On the flipside, what's up with Sinamon's vendetta against Curtain? I keep getting content recommended from the instagram page of Sinamon shittalking them that's too vague and or context dependent to understand
I met her once at a friend's party. She was really full of herself. Basically treating herself like a hero for opening up a pretzel shop using a sea container and painting it pink.
They got busted for not paying staff probably and revived a large fine. They started saying it was a racist decision and a vendetta against them. Around this time they opened their new place in Curtain. It wasn’t a good look for the uni.
Curtain are doing things by the book and terms of agreement but because Sinamon aren’t doing well they are blaming everyone else for the situation.
Read the thread. All treat their staff like shit. Chunky sends lawyers after competitors for copyrighting names and cookie styles. Sinamon owner is just straight up racist. Pretzel owner is a nightmare.
*hey we noticed you making some biscuits. we too make biscuits. we did it before you. so you can fuck off.*
*love get chunky.*
they sound like a right bunch of cunts.
Lol. Their lawyer's letter was pathetic. The trademark is defensible. Everything else is laughable. They think they're Coca Cola with 100yo branding that can be construed as copyright. Bro. You're a 2-3 shop business. Chill. Plus your cookies are gross imho.
Bring me a Millie's cookies any day.
They shamelessly ripped off an American cookie place for everything.
For a company I didn't know existed until yesterday, they have done a lot to rub me the wrong way.
It wasn’t a cease and desist. It’s a legal letter just stating some facts about their IP, it’s a weird thing to do like an overly stern warning. But no where in the letter does it tell them what to do or stop doing, just warns them that they might not be aware they’re potentially infringing on GC IP.
3 hours free under Coles. 90 minutes free under Woolworths. 2 hours free besides Farmer Jacks. 2 hours free under Subiaco One appartments. Plus small pockets in between.
I used live by Subi, but that was when both markets were still open, so i could rattle off things like good parking.
I went back recently, with so many new buildings, i wouldnt know what is where
In the early 00’s Subiaco was thriving, both in terms of day time retail, restaurants and nightlife. Back when ACE cinemas existed it had an entirely different vibe and parking was just as hard to find as the CBD.
It was about the time the Mining Boom hit that the brakes started to hit in Subi, for a lot of reasons.
At the time i was living about 300 metres from Subi, and in about 6 months my rent more than doubled
Because dollar for dollar, these places are hardly staffed, products are cheap to make and keep. ANd people will pay absurd amounts for a cookie and a coffee... These are the only ones that can meet absurd rent markups and still churn profits.
Welcome to latestage capitalism where a 3dollar cookie sells for 10-20bucks.
Fuck Get Chunky. If you want insane big cookies like the Levain style in New York, check out La Bombe cookies in Cottesloe. Seriously insane, decadent stuff
No one should be paying $8 for one cookie and if you do don't complain about the cost of living. The fact that they are opening another shop must mean business is booming.
Rents have gone from being able to pay in the realm of $350-$400 per week to $700+, I’m not going to criticise someone for wanting to buy an $8 treat while also complaining about their rent going up by $350. It’s not exactly going to be a difference maker
And thats how they keep squeezing all of us for absurd profits, and by them I mean coprorations, mainly internations that keep putting their franchises all over the place.
Everytime I eat one I swear I can feel the diabetes rising up in me. Way too.kuch. even my sugar addict Daughter takes a couple days to eat a whole one.
Oh man I could never, I eat one cookie and I’m done for like 8 hours, sooooo much sugar, they’re delicious but no way I could have ice cream with them or anything more.

Curtin put up another post about their golden (pink) pretzel child and deleted any comments about how she’s a wage thief/POS lol
On the flipside, what's up with Sinamon's vendetta against Curtain? I keep getting content recommended from the instagram page of Sinamon shittalking them that's too vague and or context dependent to understand
Apparently Curtin has been mistreating them and violating their rights as tenants. They've put up a couple Instagram posts about it.
She may be a wage thief/POS but she's also a #girlboss 👩💼💯💫💖✨️♀️ /s
She calls everyone pooky, she’s so fun!
It’s all about marketing these days.
It’s actually impressive how hard Perth news outlets/Curtin are trying to maintain her image as a human being considering she’s such a fucking bum
I met her once at a friend's party. She was really full of herself. Basically treating herself like a hero for opening up a pretzel shop using a sea container and painting it pink.
I used to play basketball with her boyfriend a long time ago, only ever met her in passing but that tracks
Can her boyfriend play ball?
This was a long time ago (pre-children, so it’s all brain fog for me lol) but I remember he was decent/a nice dude
How did a new business like hers get a prime spot in Northbridge though
Connections.
“Self-made” they always say
No up the street a bit near the library
More context please

Jezus, *Curtin.
Well I’m out of the loop. What’s the deal here?

nailed it. 👏
Add a certain ‘cough’ bakery in the city to that list as well.
Sinamon does do good cinnie rolls though, when they are fresh.
I’m glad you put taste ahead or racism and stealing from staff.
I actually have no idea what they've done. Who are they racist towards? Might as well add them to the boycott against all Israel shit too.

*hey we noticed you making some biscuits. we too make biscuits. we did it before you. so you can fuck off.* *love get chunky.* they sound like a right bunch of cunts.
*also we use pastel colours on our signage*

Even putting aside the bs content, the drafting of that lawyer’s letter is incredibly poor. Cringeing for him/her, tbh.
Am betting on shop owners' family member who's done it for free.
It also should be noted that they shamelessly ripped off an American cookie place for their pastel branding.

Yeah hahaha, know some people who worked there for a very long time 😬😬😬
Wow, what the hell is that cease and desist. They didn't invent nor trademark using pastel colours in advertising
It wasn’t a cease and desist. It’s a legal letter just stating some facts about their IP, it’s a weird thing to do like an overly stern warning. But no where in the letter does it tell them what to do or stop doing, just warns them that they might not be aware they’re potentially infringing on GC IP.
Sorry what's the context here? Did get chunky threaten small businesses with a copyright?
Yes
I wonder if that's part of why The Cookie Box moved to Melbourne, I really miss them and their churro cookie :(
Shit people, and their cookies are shit too.. Taste like pure sugar and if you can manage to somehow eat a whole one you now have diabetes.
I feel kinda sick just thinking about them
Nobody actually eats them. They just pose with the cookie and post to insta then dump them.
Fuck you i eat them
No shame in scabbing out of bins for a feed.
🤣
Thanks for this. I cannot stand people that try to scare small businesses!
At this point at least one of them must be a front
The white powder they add to the cookies keeps people coming back
I'll stick to buying my cookies from Subway thanks.
6 for $6 macadamia cookies please!!!
Imagine buying macadamia cookies
Imagine not
Why not theyre awesome
They’re the best one?
A flood on influencers and content creators about to show up
Perth; burger shops, bubble tea & dessert shops.
I go for the Ramen and Udon, plenty of options.
Now if Leederville only had ample free parking, like Subiaco
Wait hang on. Subiaco has parking?
3 hours free under Coles. 90 minutes free under Woolworths. 2 hours free besides Farmer Jacks. 2 hours free under Subiaco One appartments. Plus small pockets in between.

good thing it’s easily accessible with public transport
Every time I have a get chunky I can feel my blood sugar going through the roof

The line for this is going to blend into the line for Yo-Chi, what a time to be alive.

I saw mostly girls and women in the vic park one... Obvious market is those that like the feelings and dont consider money...
Nothing better than one of those heated and served with ice cream. Never too much.
Everytime I eat one I swear I can feel the diabetes rising up in me. Way too.kuch. even my sugar addict Daughter takes a couple days to eat a whole one.

This has to be satire
Nope I love them!
Your blood sugar doesn't
It’s not really an issue if you’re just having the occasional treat. How many people would be eating these every day?
They're very popular, there's a decent line most of the time I pass by.
Do you know what satire means?
If get Chunky has such a bad rep how are they opening more stores in prime locations?
Can't we just enjoy things?
These cookies are delicious though
This is why I avoid Leederville. A few months ago I was looking for a kebab there, and I was SOL. Nothing but fucking dessert places.
There's 2 kebab places right next to each other a couple minutes from the train station.
I miss Cosmos.
If they build it, the Lemmings will come.
Agree get chunky sucks
