A man visiting a mall in Thane decided to stop by a restaurant for a refreshing mango juice, but after ordering three glasses, he was shocked to see his bill approach a thousand rupees! What surprised him even more was that Rs 120 of the total was solely for the plastic cups, reportedly manufactured for less than a rupee each.
Expressing his frustration, X user Ravi Handa posted, “Who charges Rs 40 for disposable plastic glasses to drink mango juice in? I knew Mumbai was expensive, but this is ridiculous.”
According to the bill shared by Handa, Shahi Durbar, a restaurant in Viviana Mall, Thane, charges Rs 40 for each disposable cup and Rs 250 for a single glass of mango juice. Since he ordered three, the total came to Rs 914.
The post initially gained traction on Reddit’s Mumbai community, where user “Operation_Whole” shared it, explaining, “The Rs 250 per glass wasn’t the issue; we knew the price upfront. What bothers me is the charge for the plastic glasses, which wasn’t disclosed to us”
