The event occurred when the Redditor purchased pineapples from a north Indian seller in the city's ISRO Layout. A woman approached the vendor and inquired about the pricing of the pineapples.?
The merchant replied with "40 ka ek [Rs 40 for one piece]" and "100 ka 3 [Rs 100 for three pieces]." The woman, unable to understand, requested him to repeat himself several times. The Redditor then interjected, explaining in Kannada what the merchant had said.
