Overview
- A Reddit photo showed a notice at a Bengaluru Meghana Foods outlet telling Swiggy and Zomato riders to use the stairs instead of the lift.
- After the image circulated widely, the chain removed the sign and issued an Instagram apology saying the directive was wrong and inconsiderate.
- The company said the rule was intended to ease elevator crowding but emphasized that delivery partners deserve respect, dignity and care.
- In subsequent comments, Meghana Foods confirmed delivery personnel are allowed to use the lift going forward.
- The incident broadened into a conversation about everyday class-based exclusions, with some welcoming the reversal and others doubting lasting change.
