Nowadays, everything can be delivered to your doorstep. A few nights ago, a friend ran out of ice for drinks and she ordered an entire packet of ice cubes on a delivery app! What’s next?
Well, the delivery app the Zomato-owned Blinkit has now started a printout delivery service in Gurugram. They will be charging Rs 9 per page for black-and-white printouts and Rs 19 for coloured printouts, reported News18.
🚨PaaS: Printout as a service!
Zomato-owned Blinkit pilots print out service at Rs 9-19 per page @deepsekharc ✍ https://t.co/U561uIxhTY— Chandra R. Srikanth (@chandrarsrikant) August 18, 2022
But answer me this – doesn’t our local xerox wale bhaiya charge Rs 1-2 per page for black and white printouts? Who are these ultra-rich people who are willing to pay Rs 9 per page? My middle-class soul can’t handle this!
Here’s what many people online had to say:
My Local xerox shop owner does it at Rs 1 per page 😂😂😂
Maybe Zomato can acquire his shop

Can’t understand this at all. Within 100m of my house, I have three shops that offer print out at Rs.5 per page. What exactly is new?

I get it at ₹2 per page if printed on one side and ₹3 if on both sides

Mere gali wala Xerox guy does for 50 paisa being regular customer. He does home / office delivery and that too on credit of one month. Kya kya biz model banata hai which is 100% failure.

At this pricing, one would be better off ordering printer from amazon and then print at home.

i just email it to local guy he gives at 1.5 rs and go after some time collect it and if more copies he delivers it at home also

Sounds like one of the ideas we had in our 1st year’s project brainstorming class

2 rs for print out and 7 rs per page saved probably minimum it would be two pages. I will get a chai for 10 rs 4 rs saved .I would happily sip it and come home

Back in the day, my pocket money used to be Rs 10 a month. Kya zamaana aa gaya hai! *cries in poor*
