Zomato frequently makes headlines for a variety of reasons, whether it is for delivering the wrong food order or delivering the right comebacks on social media. Recently, a woman shared a screenshot on social media of a Zomato delivery agent asking for a tip for a late-night delivery. However, her post backfired and the Netizens slammed her instead. Curious to know why? Here are all of the important details that you would need to know about this incident.

The Internet can be a cruel unfeeling cesspool of unempathetic snobs. However, sometimes, it can show a sliver of empathy as well. Recently, a woman made a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) showing a Zomato delivery agent asking for a tip.
Ajeeb toh tu hai bhai
— Chai-Shai (@aashishsarda07) February 5, 2024
She supplemented the screenshot with the caption “ajeeb hai bhai” (so weird bro) and a crying emoji. Whatever her intent was in sharing the post, she could not have predicted that she would get such a reaction from the Netizens.
Jarurat hogi bechaare ko aur kya hi kar sakta hai ab 🙂

Instead of sympathising with her, which is what she probably was hoping for, the Netizens criticised her for her insensitivity.

Many people criticised the woman ruthlessly. Some of the critiques seemed justified. For instance, many criticised her for not hiding the delivery partner’s name from the screenshot. However, many went on to say that she could have simply tipped her instead.
arey bhai tip bhi dedi aur ghar pe halwa bana tha wo bhi dediya. i was just sharing my experience, aur wo employee hai he’s not working for free plus delivery charges already high the.

Tipping culture is a huge source of debate on social media. This culture is prevalent in the extreme in the US, however, it seems that India, too, is fast picking up on it. Many people object to the culture because it transfers a part of the employees’ income responsibility to the customers where it should be the sole responsibility of the employer.
tipping is a choice, not a necessity. baaki mai bina bole hi tip dedeti hu but this is kinda embarrassing 😭

The bigger question to ponder here, therefore, is not why the woman posted the screenshot, but why the delivery partner needed to ask for additional compensation in the first place.
Log itna kyun bash kr rhe hai, tip extra hoti hai bhai, you can’t force someone. I understand the drivers situation but still, tips can’t be forced
