Rahul Bose’s Video Shakes Things Up, Taj Hotels Troll Marriott By Offering Free Fruit To Guests

Some things are really expensive and for no rhyme or reason. As if paying about five hundred bucks for popcorn in movie theatres wasn’t enough, Rahul Bose went bananas after he was charged Rs 442 for two bananas at luxury hotel JW Marriott in Chandigarh. And rightly so!

When he shared a video explaining what happened and questioned the logic behind such a bizarre policy, the entire nation took notice of it. So much so, that an enquiry was ordered by Deputy Commissioner and Excise and Taxation Commissioner Mandip Singh Brar.

Now, according to a report in Indian Express, a show-cause notice has been sent to the JW Marriot asking it to explain by Saturday as to why GST was charged on a tax-free item.

Meanwhile, people are hailing Taj Hotels for offering free fruits to their guest. This was brought to limelight after one Twitter user shared a photograph of Taj Hotel’s note revealing the same. “We would be delighted to serve seasonal fresh whole fruits with our compliments. Please call in room dining to place your request,” it reads.

After Rahul Bose shared what happened with him, others also jumped in to share their own “Rahul Bose moment”. So, Rahul Bose isn’t the only one. Several others have gone through the same. People apparently feel they are overcharged on daily basis.
