Chennai Customer Receives Mostly Cauliflower Greens in Zepto Order, Sparks Online Debate
A Chennai man, Ashwin Murali, shared viral photos of a Zepto cauliflower order that contained mostly leaves and stems, with fewer florets than expected. He criticized the platform for poor quality and unsatisfactory customer support, as Zepto's automated response denied a refund or replacement, stating the item met quality standards. The incident sparked online discussions about fresh produce quality in grocery deliveries, with some users favoring local markets over quick-commerce platforms.
