The post was shared on Reddit on July 2 and since being posted it has gathered over 1,400 upvotes. Internet users were shocked to learn about this incident. 

A user wrote, "That bill amount is my monthly salary."

Another user commented, "Another said, "Now on a serious note, You should file an FIR, because recently an IAS aspirant has filed a case against such rackets and has exposed them from owner to waiter, girl everyone, they've told similar scams run in Mumbai, Hyderabad and other Metro Cities, so on that basis you/your friend can get your money back and get justice. Good luck, buddy."

"Were the 18 Jager bombs actually ordered? Or does it just show up on the bill as 18? CCTV maybe to prove? It's a tough situation. How do you prove you've been scammed? Unless you're sure you didn't order that many shots, you still need a witness or evidence," commented a third.

"Who drinks 18 jager bombs," the fourth user commented.

The fifth user wrote, "But I don't think a normal human being can drink 18 jagerbomb shots, that itself sounds so sus, can't they file a fraud case against the restaurant?"
