And as soon as the delivery boy came after 30-40 minutes, he told me that sir, don't pay online next time. I wonder why he said that And I asked why brother? He said that next time when you will order food worth Rs 700-800 through COD you only have to pay Rs 200 for that" I will show it to Zomato that you have not taken the food but will also give you the food you ordered. Aap bas mujhe 200rs , 300rs de dena or 1000rs ke khane ke maje lena (sic),” Sati wrote on LinkedIn.
