Zomato under controversy for being a 'hypocrite', users give one star rating to app

Zomato got a lot of appreciation initially for standing up against religious discrimination when a user asked for a refund because he did not want his food to be delivered by a Muslim rider. The homegrown food delivery app was initially appreciated for its response to the user refusing the refund and stating that "Food has no religion. Food is a religion." From celebrities to even rival company UberEats, they supported this move made by Zomato.All of this did not last for long as an old tweet came into the spotlight where a user asked Zomato for a refund because they were wrongly charging him for non-Halal meat when he ordered for Halal meat. To this Zomato had responded saying, "We would look into this".This aggravated people and now they are tagging the platform as a "Hypocrite" with "Double standards". This did not stop there. New tags like "#boycottzomato" and "#Uninstallzomato" are now trending on Twitter. The angry users are giving bad reviews and one-star ratings to the app on the Play Store.[caption id="attachment_7100501" align="alignnone" width="633"] Reviews on PlayStore.[/caption]To clear the air, Zomato shared an open letter saying that it is the restaurants that seek distinction and "not us as aggregator". The letter also mentioned that "Restaurants (whether a Muslim establishment or otherwise) serving meat specifically obtain halal certification by an all-India body."Since UberEats backed up Zomato on this and tweeted it, people have now gone onto boycotting UberEats for this.
