A Bengaluru resident shared a bizarre experience on social media where a delivery agent requested an onion after delivering a grocery order, instead of a tip. This unusual request for a vegetable sparked a lively discussion online.
The post shared on Reddit four days ago has gone viral, amassing more than 1,100 upvotes and numerous comments. Over this surprising and unconventional request, social media users reacted with humour and curiosity, speculating on the delivery boy's intentions. The caption to the post states, “Instamart delivery guy asked for onion (Bangalore).”
Let's find out what exactly happened and did the delivery boy get what he asked for. “In the evening having discussed with my wife what all grocery we need, I order them. The delivery guy came to the door on expected time,” the post written by @yashwantptl7 states.
The Bengaluru resident further noted that the delivery boy asked, “Sir, ek pyaaj mil sakta hai kya ?” to which he questioned why. The Bengaluru man handed over the vegie after the boy said that he wanted to eat it.
“I asked … koi tantra mantra to nahi karoge na bhaiya ?? He : nahi sir(with innocent smile),” the post adds. After the incident, the Bengaluru resident mentioned that his wife said the delivery boy might be asking for onion from everywhere he delivers to have enough stock to make food, since onion is expensive.
Users commented on the oddity of the situation, as one user stated, “Poor guys eat roti with onion. cant afford vegetables.” While some users joked about possible motives and wrote, “Either he was struggling financially so asked it to eat with Roti. Or he was in a good mood for sunday evening and will have it with chicken and old.monk or maybe he found someone needy somewhere and give it to them we will never know.”
A third user remarked, “India leads the world in vegetable production yet Onion is so expensive.. I don't understand it.” Expressing generosity, a user commented, “I wud have offered him food or snacks. That's why I always tip them.”

“If this was around lunchtime, he was probably wanting the onion to eat along with whatever vegetable and roti he had. Should’ve asked him why and given him pickle too," a fifth user suggested. “If you are scared of tantra mantra you could have just given him a hundred rupees as a tip because obviously, the guy is hungry, and that way you could be free in your mind," a sixth user replied.
