The marketing strategy, while innovative, garnered a range of responses. On Instagram, user Shruti Chadha expressed concern, commenting, "This is inhuman. I’m sure her feet hurt like crazy and when we have regular dummies why do we even need this?”
"This is slavery," another user stated.
Contrastingly, public figure Ghazi Al Yaman praised the initiative, saying, “Next level marketing. Nice one.” This sentiment was echoed by another user, Vlada Bulhakova, who remarked, “Someone has a lot of money for marketing."
The debate continued, with another user offering a more nuanced perspective: “Everyone saying this is slavery, inhuman, uncomfortable. Just like everyone else, we all have our own discomfort at work, we all get some pain whether it’s on foot, back, hands whatever. She’s getting paid just like we get, plus think about the security guards in the malls, they stand all the time too. We all are struggling and that's what makes us strong."
