Murder Burger’s staff wear Meat is Murder T-shirts. (The Daily Telegraph via SS’s Twitter)

THERE’S something very confronting about buying a beef burger from a man wearing a “Meat is Murder” T-shirt.

Especially, when it’s his staff uniform.

But that’s how things go at Murder Burger, a New Zealand gourmet burger store that appears to specialise in downplaying itself in that classic Antipodean way, with great results.

I’d rather have the staff wear a shirt that says “Strangeways Here We Come”.
