Fireworks, parties, and celebrations of all kinds take place on the night of December 31 as people wait with bated breath for the clock to strike midnight. Millions of people around the world celebrate the New Year by partying with friends and loved ones. While partying at home, people usually rely on instant food and grocery delivery apps to order snacks and drinks.
On Sunday, Zomato-owned platform Blinkit posted a funny conversation between a customer and their chat support representative regarding a New Year party order.
When the customer care executive named Akash enquired about the problem, the customer replied that they ordered chips and drinks for their New Year's party from the app but something was missing from their order. Akash asked him to elaborate and wrote, ''Can you please tell me what is missing from your order''? In response, the customer wrote, ''Friends to party with'' along with crying face emojis. He also inquired if the delivery rider could stay back.
''Akash has left the chat,'' a screenshot of the post was captioned.
