Pret criticised over use of ‘kiss me’ team badge

Pret a Manger has been criticised after an employee was seen wearing a badge stating “I am new, kiss me!”.

A picture was posted on Twitter by Bella Mackie, with the message: “Come on Pret, it’s kind of gross to make new female employees wear this badge.” Pret told The Daily Telegraph: “Our teams can personalise their own name badges; on this occasion, the badge has been used inappropriately.

“We have already taken action and will be ensuring that only names are used on badges going forward.”
