On September 12, a netizen posted on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) claiming that an age limit of 25 was set for recruitment at a Guming store, sparking public criticism over workplace age discrimination. Netizens believe this restriction reflects excessive labor intensity in the position and called for a boycott by refusing to patronize the brand.

In the comments section of a Xiaohongshu avoid-this-store post on September 8, a netizen pointed out that Guming stores pay low hourly wages, and employees are also fined for making drinks incorrectly or failing to label expiration dates, calling on people to avoid the stores.
