In a surprising incident in Delhi, a Reddit user recounted being reprimanded by a food delivery agent for ordering chicken biryani just before Diwali. After verifying the order with an OTP, the agent told him, "Ye bhot galat kar rahe ho aap," implying that eating meat during the festival was inappropriate and suggesting he choose something "clean" instead.
The customer felt uneasy and guilty about the incident, concerned about potential food tampering and considering whether to report the agent. However, he hesitated due to fear of retaliation, knowing the agent had his contact details and address.
This incident has sparked discussions online about moral policing, with many users criticizing the agent's unsolicited advice and suggesting he should refuse to deliver non-vegetarian items if he disagrees. The situation highlights the conflict between personal beliefs and food choices during cultural events like Diwali.
The comments on the post were filled with shocked users expressing disbelief over the moral policing regarding food choices. One user wrote, "This was one of my biggest fears—this kind of moral policing. You should report this guy and make sure to inform them via email or call that he should never deliver to your place again."
One commenter noted, “Why is he rubbing his belief on you? Ask him not to deliver chicken then!.” Another user added, “People should really just mind their own business.”
