Some users seemed upset with people putting the lives of delivery workers at risk. They posted comments like: “This is inhuman and dangerous. He is risking his life for a Rs 500 order. He wouldn’t have done this if he was on a minimum wage. Please tell delivery workers not to deliver under such conditions.”
It is inhuman and dangerous to deliver this order while risking your life for a 500 rupee order. I would not have done this if I was on minimum wage. Instruct the delivery men not to deliver under such conditions. #LLA#Zomato— anurag (@anurags711) August 30, 2024
“People who place orders should also think: how is someone going to deliver food through flooded streets? They are also human beings,” reads one comment.
This is for the ones who order… they should also think that how the doctor will bring food in so much water… that is also for this human being… his compulsion has to be met…— Manjusaini (@ Manjusa98806575) August 30, 2024
