Mumbai, Aug 12: When a complaint by actor Rahul Bose paying Rs 442 for two bananas in a hotel in Chandigarh is fresh in the mind, Dhar, a twitter user has shared a copy of the bill paying Rs 1,700 for two boiled eggs at Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai. Two omelets bought by him at the hotel were also charged likewise. A coke is charged Rs 260.
Author and photographer Karthik Dhar showed how star hotels charge for common items. Dhar asked if they should launch a protest on the subject. There were hundreds of comments on it. The message on twitter was re-tweeted or shared by more than 1,200 users.
The Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India had justified the high price of bananas in the earlier incident stating that a hotel offers service, quality, plate, cutlery, accompaniment, sanitized fruit, ambiance and luxury and not the commodity alone.
