How Did The Internet React?

People on the internet were appalled by the actions taken by society management. One user pointed out, “As a society we are programmed to hide our dark and dirty secrets and today we think the people who do our hard labour work cannot coexist in a same space as we are. Incase they are caught? Like it’s a crime? Fine of 1000? It’s probably 25% of most of their salary.”

While some did side with housing society’s standards and wrote, “Every building has something called a service elevator. It’s the nature of work they do, they shouldn’t cause inconvenience to tenants and other public using the space. This is normal. Shut up and sit down.”
