In a recent post on Linkedin, a user named Aanya Wig raised concerns over an unpleasant experience she dealt with at 11 pm at night, According to her post, she had the weirdest interaction with a Zomato rider and felt so unsafe. Aanya wrote, "I had the weirdest interaction last night with a Zomato rider and felt so unsafe."

According to Aanya, she had re-ordered paan after dinner and stepped outside alone around 11 pm to collect the delivery. She said the delivery partner first asked whether she was the one who had placed the order."I didn't engage," she wrote, explaining that she was alone at the time.Aanya claimed that while handing over the packet, the rider made another remark about her being "a girl and of this age" and ordering paan.

Questioning why delivery personnel could access order details and comment on them, she wrote, "How does your delivery partner have any authority to see what I've ordered, make a comment and pretend as if he has some right (or say) in what I order and don't?"She also expressed concern about reporting the incident and poined out that while a complaint could lead to disciplinary action against the rider, he already knew where she lived.
"Once I lodged a complaint I wondered what the repercussions would be for me?" she wrote, adding, "If anything happens to hurt his ego, he knows exactly where I stay."At the end of the post, she tagged Zomato and urged them to sensitise its delivery partners and improve customer safety measures.
