MANILA, Philippines - Netizens slammed local burger chain as their P8 for first 80 customers in-store promo to celebrate the company's 8th anniversary on Monday, August 28, has caused chaos and stampede in various malls.
Several social media posts showed hundreds of customers flocked outside Zark's Burgers outlets, hoping to avail of the promo.
In a Facebook post of Kent Pontivedra, he described the event as "Tsunami Day" due to loose crowd control at SM Bacoor.
