How many times have you left your phone, wallet, or anything else at the counter of a store? Innumerable times, right? Most of the time, it hits us immediately, and we rush back to get it. However, sometimes it takes a little longer to realise we forgot something. Is all hope lost by then? Probably. But this man who forgot his wallet had a completely opposite experience when a Bengaluru cafe returned his wallet.
This Is How Bengaluru Cafe Returned Lost Wallet To The Man
Twitter user Rohit Ghumare took to Twitter to share his bizarre yet amazing experience. He tweeted about mistakenly losing his wallet the previous day. The wallet was filled with all his credit and debit cards and some important documents. He was obviously panicking and had no clue about how to retrieve it, but this did not go on for long. Here’s the tweet he posted:
Bangalore is something else. I lost my wallet filled with my credit/debit cards as well as important documents. I panicked🥲, Surprisingly I received one call from cafe I went yesterday. How they found my number? They googled my name 🤯😵💫
I guess this is @peakbengaluru moment

Rohit got a call from the cafe he visited on the day he lost the wallet, informing him that he left his wallet there. What a big relief that must have been! The question remains: how did they know how to contact Rohit? Clarifying that in his tweet, he wrote that the cafe went the extra mile and Googled his name in search of any way to contact him. He declared this a “Peak Bengaluru moment”, and we couldn’t agree more.

5 yrs ago, my friend went to Bangalore for the campus placement. Took a Uber ride and when the cab left within an hour he realised he left his mobile in the cab. He called up the driver, uber customer care, tried filing FIR at police notbody helped. That was @lowbangalore moment

Did you make any purchase in that cafe?

Highly likely they didn’t know what it was that they found and didn’t know what to make of it. 😝😝😝
Hardly anyone carries wallets in Bangalore. It’s UPI all the way.

It surely must have been a tough day, not knowing where his wallet was. And then the cafe’s gracious staff came to the rescue. They really deserve kudos for this great effort.
