Bengaluru Cafe Charges 5 Pc ‘Gas Crisis Charge’ On Lemonade Amid LPG Shortage! Viral
A Bengaluru cafe’s bill with an added “gas crisis charge” of 5 per cent on a lemonade amid the LPG shortage is going viral on social media, leaving netizens reacting in all kinds of ways.
It’s one thing to charge a bit extra on tea or coffee- or any other food item that will require gas in its preparation for that matter of fact- amid India’s LPG crisis– and it's another thing to charge ‘gas crisis charge’ on just about anything, specifically a beverage like a ‘lemonade’! Yet, that is exactly what this Bengaluru cafe seemingly did. Taking to social media, a picture of a bill from a Bengaluru cafe was shared online, which went viral. The bill was otherwise normal, but what was eye-raising was the 5 per cent “gas crisis charge”.
To make everything further confusing was that the charge was on a ‘lemonade’. As per the bill, the customer had ordered two lemonades, costing Rs 179 each– Rs 358 in total. However, they were required to pay Rs Rs 374, as it also added Rs 17 as the gas charge, along with GST.
The post went viral in an instant, leaving many furious. Most called it “cheating”, while others called such a charge "obnoxious". India’s LPG shortage was triggered after the Middle East conflict began, posing disagreements amid nations over the functioning of the Strait of Hormuz.
Times Now could not confirm the details of the post.

Internet’s reactions:
“Lemonade banane main kaunsa gas lagta hai (which Lemonade needs gas in its preparations),” a user asked. “This is too much. Everyone wants to just loot customers in India,” added another.
“A lemonade costs Rs 10 on the road and is free of cost at home,” added another person. “I’ve been to this cafe long back. I highly recommend avoiding this place,” commented the next person in the comment section.
“This is the worst. They are already so overpriced,” added another person. “Next what? Bangalore charging for change in weather? And Bangalore charging for no traffic on Marathahalli bridge?” asked the next.
