An update for the Cha Latte/Copium Merch situation. For those unfamiliar, Bao's former manager and owner of the merch company Copium Merch fucked over Bao, AmaLee, and Shxtou among others by taking orders for merch and then keeping the chuubas at bay with excuse after excuse, a common pattern from what the thread has seen. Vite Ramen offered to pick up the orders that Copium Merch left hanging and fulfill them, or at least offer refunds where possible. Apparently the entire situation they inherited was much more fucked than it initially appeared, and while untangling this mess and unfucking these orders they have been inadvertently lowering the credit score of their entire Shopify account, locking payouts from all of their storefronts for the next 120 days. This includes both Vite Ramen's main storefront as well as Onigiri's Onimart
