Okay, so all this mishigas about Miley Cyrus coming into Pop Burger and a worker there not knowing who she was has gone way too far! it is so ridiculous. Pop Burger has been bombarded from the media wanting to know what happened that day and why the Pop Burger employee didnt recognize Miley. Also, this story has been exaggerated! The story Perez Hilton and other blogs/gossip sites tell is not very accurate. I know what really happened because I work at Pop Burger!
It was a Saturday when Miley and a friend came into Pop Burger in Midtown and order some food. My co-worker who took her order, asked her name to put on the order and Miley was surprised she didnt recognize her and felt offended I assume. Now, according to the media, my co-worker told Miley: “That’s nice for you. Here is your order. Have a good day.” That is a complete LIE! I don’t know why everybody is making such a big deal over NOTHING. My co-worker simply doesn’t care enough about Miley Cyrus to recognize her. Who does anyway? At Pop Burger, we have had much bigger celebrities come in, and one time I even asked Steve Carell his name for the order and he didn’t seem offended. It’s not that I didn’t recognize him, but I just did not remember his name at that exact moment, I guess I was just excited that I was taking Steve Carell’s order.
Today, I answered the phone and they said they were calling from a radio show from freaking Australia. I was asked if we wanted to apologize for us not knowing who Miley Cyrus was, and they also asked me if Miley tipped, etc. I of course told them that there is no reason for anyone to apologize to Miley, and that she did NOT tip. So there you go.
I know understand Celebrities when they say that the media makes up so many lies. It’s ridiculous, but at the end of the day, Pop Burger has gotten so much publicity. This story has been on Perezhilton.com, The Post, Entertainment Tonight, USWeekly, some radio show in Australia apparently, and others.
Pop Burger has celebrity guests because it’s a hot spot in New York City, and also the food is delicious! Celebrities I have seen more recently are: Cedric the Entertainer, Tony Hawk, Steve Carell, and Nina Garcia. All very nice people! I actually have blogged about a couple of them here in my blog about their visits at Pop Burger.
Oh, and my friendly co-worker who took Miley’s order, is available for interviews!
