The post sparked mixed reactions on social media. A social media account called Overhyped responded to Singh's post and said,“Please don't hurt iphone users, they bought their phone on EMI, let them buy capsicum on EMI.”
Others like Ruturaj Mestry made fun of Zepto and sarcastically claimed that iPhone users might get fresher groceries, hence the hefty charge.
“Think like this, might be the iphone users will get the freshest of groceries, and leftovers are available to other users. That's why it's cheap for others. This might not answer the initial question, But iphone users might feel better,” said Mestry, responding to Vinita Singh's post.
