"I knew Mumbai is expensive but this is ridiculous," he added.
Netizens Reaction
Handa's post quickly gained traction, sparking a wave of responses from fellow netizens.
One user humorously suggested, “Ye dekh K Mumbai me restaurant open krne ka man kr gya”
Others echoed Handa’s sentiments, highlighting the frustrations faced by customers in India.
“Indian businesses are answerable to no one. They need any random reason to con customers. Most of them are unregulated & charge as they want!” remarked another user.
As the discussion grew, so did the curiosity surrounding this peculiar pricing strategy. One user provocatively asked, “So if someone says they don’t want a glass, will they offer juice from a tap?”

As consumers, it is essential to question unreasonable charges and advocate for our rights. Is it really necessary to charge Rs 40 for a disposable plastic glass is still a question that many netizens to Handa's post are questioning.
