Ekim Burgers has taken a jab at McDonald's Restaurant, by posting the larger company's phone number on its own website - therefore directing angry customers to McDonald's.
Ekim Burgers - a popular burger van in Wellington - is facing a backlash from the public after owner Mike Duffy took tosocial media to vent his frustrations at a complaint they had received this week.
On a public post on Facebook, McDonald's wrote: "Well done with the old phone number swap. You got us good. We're telling people to complain that you're giving away free burgers tonight - so let us know if that's not the right message for your callers. [smiley face].''
In turn, Ekim Burgers replied that they would let customers have a decent burger and suggested giving away free fries as well.
Tonight, Mr Duffy told the Herald he was not behind the phone number swap.
