Responding to a bigoted customer who asked for a Hindu food delivery executive instead of a Muslim, Zomato on Wednesday tweeted that 'food doesn't have a religion'. While Zomato's tweet was majorly supported, people also took to Twitter saying that the customer's demand for a Hindu delivery executive should have been met. He had tweeted that as the auspicious Hindu month of Shravan had begun, he did not want his food to be delivered by a Muslim. The incident led to social media feud and #BoycottZomato soon began to trend on Twitter.  And now, rival food delivery app, Uber Eats who supported Zomato's stand is also being slammed online. The app-based food ordering company is facing the wrath of internet users threatening to uninstall their app using the hashtag #BoycottUberEats. Meanwhile, people are cracking jokes on Swiggy who have been tight-lipped on the incident until now. GIFs and funny jokes on how Swiggy would react to the ongoing incident are being shared widely on social media. Uber Eats Backs Zomato For Standing Up Against Bigoted Customer Who Refused Food Delivery From 'Non-Hindu'.

Standing by Zomato, Uber Eats had tweeted saying, "@ZomatoIN, we stand by you." On one hand, when food delivery app Zomato was being inundated with messages of support for their stand, on the other side they are being slammed on social media. And now the wrath has extended to Uber Eats who merely backed a rival organisation's opinion. Enraged social media users took to Twitter sharing screenshots of uninstalling both apps, Zomato and UberEats from their phones.
