However, the massive turnout led to some complaints.

One online user remarked, “It wasn’t a bread festival; it was a bread hell,” adding, “I waited endlessly in a line that seemed to have no beginning or end, feeling like I was being punished in an eternal ‘bread hell’ where I could never actually buy any bread.”


The venue is quite crowded with people pouring in.

Others shared similar sentiments, saying, “It wasn’t a bread festival, it was a human festival,” “There was no way you’d ever get in no matter how long you waited,” and “Instead of enjoying the bread, I was exhausted from the sheer mass of people.”
