The message was circulated on social media as the technician sought a response from the food delivery giant. Instead, Indian football goalkeeper and Bengaluru FC player Gurpreet Singh Sandhu responded to his post and offered to pay the extra fee.

“GPay number dedo bhai – wapis karta hoon 12 rupees (Give me your GPay number brother – I will return 12 rupees),” he said in a post that went viral.

Take a look at the post:

While many users were amused by the footballer’s response, others said it wasn’t about the money. “It’s not about money, it’s about ethical practice. I don’t think he’s complaining about spending Rs 12 more. If you charge Rs 12 more, it should be branded Zomato. If a brand wants to advertise there, packaging charges should not apply,” said a user.

Although Zomato is yet to publicly respond to the post, in a similar complaint, another customer had inquired about ‘container fees’. “Although the taxes are universal and vary from 5 to 18% depending on the type of food. The packaging fees are collected by our partner restaurants, they are the ones who implement and make money from this practice “, Zomato Care had explained.
