Some sense prevailing finally.

It's a decent win. And, the best thing about startups is they listen and are real quick!

(Goyal did lose the plot though when he had to endlessly keep explaining in his thread yesterday when things started snowballing)

The discrimination on green vs red jerseys makes a lot of sense. Don't want people to judge what you're ordering basis the t-shirt of the rider.

That said, still don't get how any of this was casteist. Open to learn from somebody who understands.

Gujaratis were ready to bar the red uniform guys from entering their societies

Anything towards vegetarians this liberal lobby will go crazy. This is why when hotel serves rotten meat, and people die of food poisoning i dont feel sorry any more.

How does a company of this size do such a fuck up? Somebody is getting fired for sure.

Only somebody who has lived under a rock and not seen/read the news (from respectable sources) can come up with something like this.

@Bicken_Chiryani what? how is that? I'm saying this for deciding to put up tshirts, then removing them. More thought was needed before going forward with all of it.

It was a marketing stunt and it worked. People gave them a really nice publicity.

I feel the same. It looks like a marketing stunt. You announce something and you withdraw it the next day morning.

Didn't anyone in the team bring this up? Did you discuss with any other human before telling the whole world.?

Something just doesn't sit right. 😂

But the issue still remains the same. It doesn't give me the assurance that the food I am getting from a pure veg restaurant will not have the smell of non veg food. Not to offend any kind of eaters, but there have been instances where packaged Veg food has got eggs in it

The reverse can also happen! I get very upset when I order chicken biriyani and get paneer biriyani instead!
