Living in a ₹1 crore flat and acting like a slum dweller: Woman calls out resident after ₹300 Swiggy order is delivered to wrong flat

A small grocery delivery mix-up has sparked a conversation about empathy, accountability and the treatment of delivery partners. Ritika, who had ordered groceries worth around ₹300 through Swiggy, shared an incident in which her order was mistakenly delivered to another flat in a different tower of the same residential complex.

The order reportedly contained everyday essentials such as milk, curd, onions and tomatoes. When the groceries did not arrive for some time, Ritika contacted the delivery partner, who informed her that the order had already been marked as delivered.

How A ₹300 Grocery Order Led To An Unexpected Confrontation

After learning that her order had been delivered, Ritika then asked the delivery guy to go again to the flat. The woman who got the ordered by mistake said that we were about to use the groceries. Further she said It’s your fault, why you have given the parcel to us.


According to the account, the woman said, "It's your fault, we were just about to use these vegetables and stuff".

The response reportedly left Ritika hurt and frustrated. She then criticised the resident, saying, "You're living in a ₹1 crore house and acting like you're from the slums, seriously, use a little common sense".

A grocery delivery mix-up has sparked a conversation about empathy and the treatment of delivery partners. While customers expect their orders to arrive on time, a small mistake can have consequences for the workers responsible for delivering them.

How Complaints Can Affect Delivery Partners

"When we accept such mistaken deliveries, we have to file a complaint about it, which can ruin the delivery partner's rating, withhold their bonus, and snatch away their livelihood."
