The chat screenshot shows a reply from the food delivery company's customer care that reads, “As it is a weekend peak hour, the restaurant is facing heavy demand due to which there is a slight delay in your order. Request you to wait for some time and the order will be delivered to you at the earliest.” The Reddit user’s reply to this gives a hilarious twist to the situation. The Reddit user replies, “Dude, it is Tuesday”.

“Wishing for the weekend on the second day of the week itself, well, I don't blame him,” joked a Reddit user.

“Once, Swiggy made me wait five hours for my food and delivered it at 2 AM. I'd already ordered from Zomato since Swiggy was neither ready to accept their mistake nor refund my money,” shared another.

“Swiggy is horrible. They took my order. They made me wait two hours, and the rider ran away with food. Then I had to place another order, and half was delivered after two hours. They refused a refund of the other half. This order was after 6-7 years when they delivered non-veg instead of vegetarian. When I complained, they banned my number. So yeah, I'm never going to order from them now. With Zomato, it has been smooth sailing,” joined a third.

“Swiggy, are you high,” wrote a fourth.
