Woman pays Rs 490 for tea, two samosas, a bottle of water; shares 'shocking' bill

Having tea and samosas is a common habit of many Indians for snack time and people love to relish them at any time, especially during mornings and evenings. While these are quite affordable and tasty options, one can easily munch on a plate of samosas and a cup of tea for hardly Rs 30-40. But how would you feel if you are asked to pay Rs 500 for the same? Yes, this is no joke. This was actually the case at the Mumbai airport where a woman had to pay Rs 490 for just a cup of tea, two pieces of samosas, and a water bottle. She also shared the bill for her purchase and no wonder, it has been going viral.

Shared by a journalist named Farah Khan, the food bill shared on Twitter has grabbed the attention of many and left people with a lot of questions. As seen in the photo, the woman had to pay Rs 160 for a cup of ginger tea, Rs 260 for two samosas, and Rs 70 for a 500ml water bottle. Besides, the bill also had other taxes added to the amount which totalled Rs 490.

Sharing the photos of her purchase and the bill, the Twitter user while taking a jibe at the central government wrote, “Two samosas, one chai and one water bottle for 490 Rs at Mumbai airport!! Kafi ache din aa gaye hain.”

On the other hand, as soon as the post was uploaded, many took to the comment section and shared their reactions. While some tried explaining the reason behind such price differences, some also shared their own stories in comments.

“A few days ago I was coming to Kolkata from Bangalore airport, at Bangalore airport, I asked the rate of samosas, and he told me the price of two pieces was ₹250. After that I did not ask anything else, I immediately left from there,” a user wrote, while another person commented, “So many comments here to defend the price. Be realistic, when in need people can’t get out of airports to buy food at cheaper places. By anyway, the price is really very high for this.”
